Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) reported a 21% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, reaching ₹9,126 crore.

Cargo Handling Crosses 121 MMT
Adani Ports handled 121 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in the quarter, marking an 11% increase year-on-year. Its market share in India’s cargo handling rose to 27.8%. Container volumes grew by 19%, with Krishnapatnam Port recording its highest-ever monthly cargo movement of 5.85 MMT in June.
