Adani’s Mundra Port Makes History, Becomes First In India To Handle 200 MMT Cargo

Mundra Port in Gujarat, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), has become the first Indian port to handle over 200 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in a single financial year.

According to the company’s official update, the flagship port managed 200.7 MMT of cargo during the financial year 2024-25 (FY25).

Overall, APSEZ ports handled a total of 450.2 MMT cargo during the year, showing a 7% growth over the previous fiscal.

This growth was mainly driven by a 20% jump in container volumes and a 9% increase in liquid and gas cargo.

The company said that March 2025 marked its highest-ever monthly cargo volume at 41.5 MMT, up 9% year-on-year.

Containers saw a 19% rise, while liquid and gas volumes increased by 5% during the month.

Mundra’s impressive numbers were backed by strong performances across various terminals.

The Adani International Container Terminal handled a record 33.05 lakh containers, outperforming the previous year’s record of 31.49 lakh.

The Liquid Terminal recorded its best performance in over a decade, handling 8.73 MMT of cargo-the highest since FY 2010-11.

Rail connectivity played an important role in supporting Mundra’s performance. Mundra Port Railway Services exceeded its past record by operating 20,578 trains, up from 20,149.

The West Basin at the port handled 3.76 MMT in March alone, setting the highest monthly cargo figure for the fiscal year.

In the same month, it dispatched 59 rakes, surpassing its previous best of 52 rakes in September 2024.

The port achieved a record with the quickest discharge of pet coke from MV AMIS RESPECT, unloading 60,489.4 MT in just 17 hours.

The Vizhinjam Port, also operated by APSEZ, achieved a milestone by crossing 1,00,000 TEUs in March 2025.
