India’s top integrated transport utility, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ), has declared a great performance for August 2025, handling an amazing 41.9 million metric tons of cargo, a 16% rise over the same time last year. A big part of this growth came from a 29% increase in container traffic, which solidified APSEZ’s position as the leader in India’s maritime sector.
Mundra Port, the company’s main gateway, led the way with a string of record-breaking accomplishments all month long. The T2 terminal handled 1,29,780 TEUs in a month, which was a new record. The AMCT (CT2) terminal also set a new record by carrying 1,04,793 TEUs, which was more than its previous record from July 2023. Mundra’s RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) operations also achieved history on August 29 by loading 1,460 cars in a single day, shattering a record that had been set just in March 2025.
APSEZ’s overall business showed amazing growth, not only at its main port. The corporation moved 202.6 million metric tons of cargo via all of its ports from April to August 2025. This is an 11% increase from the same time last year. The main reason for this was that container volumes went up by 22% at the same time.
There was also more activity in the logistics sector. There were 57,347 TEUs of rail traffic in August, which was an 8% increase from the same month last year. In the same way, the amount of GPWIS (General Purpose Wagon Investment Scheme) cargo rose by 3% to 1.69 million metric tons. Year-to-date numbers show even bigger improvements, with rail volumes up 14% and GPWIS cargo up 3%.
The Mundra Port’s success isn’t only a good story about how it works; it’s also very important for the country’s economy and strategy. The port is in Kutch, Gujarat, and it has become an important international commerce hub. It is India’s largest commercial port and a crucial entry point for bulk, containerized, and liquid goods. Its smooth connections by rail, road, and pipelines connect inland markets to global supply networks, lowering logistical costs and making trade more competitive. Mundra Port is helping India’s overall standing in the global maritime sector by supporting important government programs like “Make in India” and “Maritime India Vision 2030.” This is good for the economy in the region and for India as a whole.
