Adani Ports said the increase in cargo volume during the quarter led to revenue growth . It said the domestic port Ebitda margin expanded 170 basis points. That, along with improved efficiencies and capacity utilisation, led to surge in Ebitda. Healthy cargo volume growth led to record PAT, it said.

Adani Ports said its volume for the quarter grew 44 per cent YoY to 108.6 mmt and this was its highest-ever quarterly cargo volume. Mundra, Adani's flagship port, recorded highest-ever monthly volume at any Indian port in October & AICTPL (CT-3) recorded India’s highest monthly container volume in November 2023. 

“In the year when our first port, Mundra, completed 25 years of operation, APSEZ recorded its strongest ever Q3 and 9M performance with the highest ever revenue, Ebitda, and cargo volumes, and is on course to overachieve its full year guidance provided at the start of the year. This is a testament to our continuous efforts to drive
operating efficiencies and remain an industry leading port operator,” said CEO Ashwani Gupta.
