Adani Ports & SEZ commands a 45.5% share of India's container market as of FY26.

The volume of empty containers handled at Mundra is estimated at around 1.6 million TEUs annually, underscoring its critical role in supporting India's import-export supply chains.
As part of its Ambition 2031 roadmap, the company is making significant investments to expand capacity across its network, with Mundra at the forefront of this growth. The company plans to add more than 6 million TEUs of container handling capacity over the next five years.

Strengthening trade-enabling infrastructure remains central to APSEZ's commitment towards supporting India's growth and the vision of Viksit Bharat,” said Mr Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and Chief Executive Officer, APSEZ.
The initiative aligns with the Government's focus on developing efficient, technology-enabled logistics systems and improving ease of doing business.
