Adani Ports Eyes Billion‑Ton Cargo Goal with New Paradip Project

The latest Paradip concession brings APSEZ one step closer to its target of moving one billion tonnes of cargo by 2030. The 18 MMT capacity boost, awarded through a Letter of Award, expands the company's portfolio to 671 MMT annually.

The two dry‑bulk berths, known as CQ‑I and CQ‑II, will be built under a 30‑year operational licence. They will be equipped with cutting‑edge cargo‑handling machinery, deep‑water berths and high‑capacity storage facilities, enabling efficient handling of coal, limestone and other bulk goods.

According to APSEZ leadership, the Paradip terminal will cement the group's presence on the eastern seaboard and improve access to India’s mineral‑rich heartland. The terminal will integrate with an existing network that stretches across 11,000 km of coastline, linking 16 ports and terminals.

APSEZ’s broader ecosystem includes a diversified marine fleet of 136 vessels, 12 multimodal logistics parks, more than 3.1 million square feet of warehousing and a fleet of over 25,000 trucks, reinforcing its ability to deliver end‑to‑end logistics solutions.

With this expansion, the company expects to capture a larger portion of the country’s growing bulk cargo demand and maintain its share of roughly 27 % of India’s total port volume.
