Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) delivered robust results for Q1 FY26, with revenue soaring 21% year-on-year to ₹9,126 crore, fueled by significant growth in logistics and marine operations. EBITDA grew 13% to ₹5,495 crore, reflecting a shift in the business mix toward newer verticals with higher returns on capital employed (RoCE) but lower margins. Profit After Tax (PAT) reached ₹3,311 crore, a 7% increase YoY, though last year’s figures included a ₹141 crore joint venture dividend anticipated in Q2.
The operational landscape for APSEZ expanded with the launch of the Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT), projected to handle 3.2 million TEUs annually upon full operation. Dhamra Port introduced a new export berth and is constructing two more, boosting its capacity to 92 million metric tons (MMT). Vizhinjam Port marked its first year with complete utilization in its ninth month and has commenced Phase 2 for further growth.

Meanwhile, Haifa Port in Israel reported a 29% increase in volume, achieving record revenue and EBITDA since its acquisition. APSEZ also received strong ESG ratings, with 12 ports certified as Zero Waste to Landfill and initiatives like deploying electric cranes and constructing India’s first steel slag road within a port.
