Adani Ports Expands Container Logistics at Mundra
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) is set to commence operations of a dedicated Empty Container Yard (ECY) with integrated warehousing at Mundra Port and SEZ from September 3, aimed at improving the efficiency of empty-container storage, inspection, maintenance and movement for exporters, shipping lines and Container Freight Stations.
Mundra currently handles around 1.6 million TEUs of empty containers annually, while APSEZ holds a 45.5% share of India’s container market as of FY26, with Mundra alone accounting for nearly 35% of the country’s container trade. The ECY is expected to improve turnaround times, infrastructure utilisation, safety, regulatory coordination and logistics cost efficiency by bringing key container-related activities closer together.
The initiative also supports APSEZ’s Ambition 2031 roadmap, under which the company plans to add more than 6 million TEUs of container-handling capacity over the next five years, with Mundra playing a central role in this expansion. The facility will also enable closer coordination among Customs authorities, shipping lines, terminal operators and transporters, strengthening the port’s role in India’s import-export logistics ecosystem.
