Adani Ports Logs Uptick In Cargo Volumes In December
Adani Ports and Special Economics Zone Ltd. saw an 8% year-on-year uptick in total cargo volumes in Dec. 2025. The company recorded a total of 38.4 million metric tons, which was driven by container volumes jumping 22% and liquids and gas volumes rising 7% year-on-year.
Last week, Adani Ports was in the news for rolling out an order for eight state-of-the-art harbour tugs to Cochin Shipyard with a total contract value estimated at Rs 450 crore. This Adani Ports order is the largest one ever under the Make In India scheme.
"By leveraging local manufacturing capabilities, which are world-class, we aim to contribute to the ‘Make in India' initiative while ensuring that our operations meet international standards of safety and efficiency," said Ashwani Gupta, chief executive officer and whole-time director of Adani Ports.
Adani Ports had earlier contracted the construction of two 62-tonne tugs to Cochin Shipyard, both of which were delivered ahead of schedule and deployed at Paradeep Port and New Mangalore Port.
During the same week, Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd. had welcomed its 100th commercial vessel, MSC Michela. This happened within just six months of operations, marking a milestone in India's efforts to become a global transshipment hub.
"With automated container handling, this new port in Kerala is a forerunner of our drive towards leveraging state-of-the-art technology in ports and logistics," Adani Ports MD said.
