to our financial discipline and commitment to deleveraging, diversified asset

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), a
part of the globally diversified Adani Group has evolved from a port company to
an Integrated Transport Utility providing an end-to-end solution from its port
gate to customer gate. It is the largest
port developer and operator in India with 7 strategically located ports and
terminals on the west coast (Mundra, Tuna, Dahej, and Hazira in Gujarat,
Mormugao in Goa, Dighi in Maharashtra and Vizhinjam in Kerala) and 7 ports and
terminals on the East coast of India (Haldia in West Bengal, Dhamra in Odisha,
Gangavaram and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Kattupalli and Ennore in Tamil
Nadu and Karaikal in Puducherry), representing 27% of the country’s total port
volumes. The company is also developing a transshipment port at Colombo, Sri
Lanka, and owns the Haifa Port in Israel. The company’s Ports to Logistics
Platform comprising port facilities, integrated logistics capabilities
including multimodal logistics parks, Grade A warehouses, and industrial
economic zones, puts it in an advantageous position as India stands to benefit
from an impending overhaul in global supply chains.
The
company’s vision is to be the one of the largest ports and logistics platform
in the world in the next decade.
With a vision to turn carbon neutral by 2025, APSEZ was the first Indian port
and third in the world to sign up for the Science-Based Targets Initiative
(SBTi) committing to emission reduction targets to control global warming at
1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
