New Delhi: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ) has released an upbeat operational update for September 2026 and the first half of the 2026‑27 financial year, highlighting solid growth across its key cargo streams.
In September 2026 the company handled 46 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo, representing an 11% increase compared with the same month a year earlier.
Across the April‑September window, total cargo throughput climbed to 280 MMT, a rise of roughly 15% year‑on‑year over the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Container segment fuels the upturn
Container operations were a major driver of the overall expansion, with volumes up 15% YoY during the first half of FY27.
Dry‑bulk cargo mirrored this performance, also posting a 15% year‑on‑year increase over the April‑September period.
The twin lifts in containers and dry cargo underscore the broad‑based momentum in APSEZ’s port activities during the opening six months.
Rail logistics delivers mixed signals
Rail‑based logistics saw a modest rebound in September, handling 62,302 TEUs, up 3% from September 2025.
However, the cumulative rail volume for April‑September fell to 312,763 TEUs, marking a 13% decline versus the same stretch last year.
September’s strong showing bolsters half‑year growth
The September figures reinforced the half‑year trend, with the port’s overall cargo handling up 15% and both container and dry‑bulk segments posting 15% annual growth. The 46 MMT handled in September alone contributed to the 11% YoY improvement for the month.
These numbers are part of APSEZ’s September 2026 and FY27 first‑half operational update.
