Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) intends to invest approximately ₹30,000 crore over the forthcoming two years to enhance its domestic operations, with the majority of the funding allocated to the Mundra, Dhamra, and Vizhinjam ports. This amount exceeds more than double the ₹11,000-12,000 crore investment that the company has projected for this fiscal year. The organization has established a cargo handling objective of one billion tonnes per year by 2030, with 850 MMT anticipated from its Indian ports and 140-150 MMT from international assets. The investment strategy for FY26 is distributed among ports (₹6,500-7,000 crore), logistics (₹2,300 crore), renewable energy (₹1,500 crore), and marine services (₹700-800 crore), as per APSEZ’s presentation in September. The additional ₹30,000 crore capital expenditure will focus on expanding berths and terminals at Mundra and Dhamra, as well as enhancing the Vizhinjam transshipment hub, which has already processed over one million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) within nine months of its inception. Every port is undergoing a significant capital expenditure cycle.
