The Adani Ports and
SEZ Limited made the announcement through an X post.
Mundra Port’s evolution is a testament to its role as
a vital commercial gateway, handling nearly 11% of India’s maritime cargo and
33% of the nation’s container traffic. Since its inception, the port has
contributed over ₹ 2.25 lakh crore to state and national exchequers
and created more than 7.5 crore man-days of employment. Its development has
attracted investments exceeding Rs70,000 crore, and through the Adani
Foundation, community initiatives have benefited over 3.5 lakh people across 61
villages.
In a ceremony in
October marking 25 years of Mundra Port, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai
Patel released a commemorative postal stamp to honour the port’s contributions
to India’s maritime and economic growth.
The event, held on World Post Day, highlights the
transformation of Mundra Port from a single jetty in 1998 into India’s largest
commercial port and a key global maritime hub. Mundra Port has played a pivotal role in India’s maritime
infrastructure, serving both coastal and hinterland regions, while also
expanding globally with operations in Sri Lanka, Israel, and Tanzania. The
company’s vision is to become the world’s largest ports and logistics platform
within the next decade.
