Adani Ports Net Profit Jumps 10.2% as International Business Surge Fuels Cargo Growth​

Adani Ports Posts Strong Q1 Results Driven by Overseas Expansion and Marine Services Boom​

Mumbai: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) reported a robust performance for the June quarter, announcing a consolidated net profit rise of 10.2 per cent year-on-year. The results highlight successful integration and rapid expansion in the international ports business, which served as the primary growth catalyst.

The country’s largest private port operator recorded a consolidated net profit of ₹3,649.50 crore for the April-June period. This is an improvement compared to the ₹3,310.60 crore reported in the corresponding quarter last year. The company's overall revenue from operations surged 18.6 per cent, reaching ₹10,820.80 crore from ₹9,126.14 crore a year earlier.

International Ports Drive Significant Revenue Surge​

The international ports business was the most significant contributor to the quarter’s performance. Revenue in this segment surged by 80 per cent, achieving ₹1,747 crore. This remarkable growth is attributed both to the integration of NQXT Australia and increased cargo volumes managed at the Colombo terminal.

Overseas cargo volumes saw a dramatic increase, nearly tripling to 22.8 million metric tonnes (MMT). This stands significantly higher than the 7.7 MMT recorded in the previous year's quarter. The robust overseas performance helped boost the company's overall financial trajectory during the reporting period.

Domestic Port Growth and Marine Services Boom​

In addition to the international success, domestic ports revenue witnessed solid growth. Cargo volumes for domestic operations increased by 12 per cent, reaching 115.3 MMT from 112.9 MMT in the prior year’s quarter. This steady increase points to consistent utilization of the company's network within the country.

The Marine services revenue component experienced an even sharper rise, growing by 67 per cent to ₹901 crore. This impressive growth was specifically supported by successful fleet additions and expanded marine operational capabilities across the port group.

Financial Highlights and Operational Efficiency​

Total income for APSEZ stood at ₹11,673.71 crore. This figure benefited significantly from a substantial increase in other income, which jumped to ₹852.91 crore from ₹296.04 crore last year. Demonstrating strong operational management, the EBITDA rose 19 per cent, reaching ₹6,541 crore.

While total expenses climbed by 23.5 per cent year-on-year to ₹7,078.64 crore, the company maintained efficiency. The key operating metric, the EBITDA margin, remained steady at 60.4 per cent for the quarter.
