Mumbai, April 30 (IANS). Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) announced its FY26 results on Thursday. During this period, the company’s profit has increased by 16 percent on annual basis to Rs 12,782 crore.
APSEZ, one of India’s largest logistics companies, also saw its revenue grow 25 per cent year-on-year to Rs 38,736 crore in FY26, the company said in a stock exchange filing. The reason for this is the strong growth in the company’s logistics and maritime business.
The company said that Ebitda increased by 20 percent year-on-year to Rs 22,851 crore in FY 2026.
Ashwini Gupta, Whole-Time Director and CEO of the company, said, “Our strong performance this quarter reflects the strength of our business model and disciplined execution of the strategy.”
Gupta further said, “Despite geopolitical instability and global tariff uncertainty, we exceeded our FY26 estimates on the back of a record 500 million metric tonne port cargo volume. Logistics and maritime trade also recorded strong growth of 55 per cent and 134 per cent respectively this year.”
He further added, “This marks a meaningful progress, but our journey is not over yet. APSEZ has laid a strong foundation to more than double revenues and EBITDA by FY 2031. This is underpinned by a target of one billion tonnes of port cargo by December 2030, rapid expansion of asset light and asset zero services and expansion of the marine fleet. Disciplined capital allocation will ensure that future capital expenditure is financed from internal accruals only. Funded, while maintaining flexibility for selective inorganic growth.”
A major achievement of the year was that APSEZ became the first Indian integrated transport operator to handle more than 50 crore metric tonnes of port cargo in a single year.
In the March quarter (Q4FY26), revenue grew by 26 per cent year-on-year to Rs 10,738 crore, while Ebitda grew by 20 per cent to Rs 6,020 crore.
The company said in its report that the net profit in the March quarter has increased by 9 percent to Rs 3,308 crore.
International ports revenues recorded a sharp growth of 34 per cent, driven by the addition of the NQXT terminal in Australia and ramp up of operations in Colombo, along with a sharp increase in Ebitda margins.
The logistics segment emerged as a key growth driver, with revenues growing 55 per cent year-on-year due to rapid expansion of trucking operations and international freight network services.
At the same time, maritime business revenues increased by 134 percent, which was supported by fleet expansion, with the number of ships increasing to 136.
The company said that the overall ROCE of APSEZ increased to 16 percent in FY 2026, while it was 15 percent in FY 2025.
The company’s board has declared a dividend of Rs 7.5 per share for the current financial year.
