Coming to the revenue from operations for the entire financial year and the fourth quarter, they grew 28 per cent and 19 per cent to Rs 26,711 crore and Rs 6,897 crore, respectively. 2023-24 has been a year of many new milestones for <keyword id="20038598" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="APSEZ" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="APSEZ" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="APSEZ">APSEZ</keyword> on both operational and financial metrics. <keyword id="20051210" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Adani-Ports" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Adani Ports" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Adani Ports">Adani Ports</keyword> delivered 3x the India cargo growth rate and a record volume of 420 million tonne. "Clearly, the company's business model of end-to-end service, strategic partnership with key customers, leveraging the network effect through its string of ports, and focus on operational efficiencies is yielding results, said Ashwani Gupta, Whole-Time Director and CEO, APSEZ. With incremental cargo volumes of 100 million tonne achieved in less than two years, Adani Ports is well poised to achieve 500 million tonne of cargo volumes in 2025, aided by the recently acquired Gopalpur Port, and the scheduled commissioning of Vizhinjam Port in the current year and WCT (West Container Terminal) next year, said Gupta. "We continue to invest heavily in the business to drive growth, particularly in the logistics segment. Our newly launched trucking segment enables APSEZ to provide the last-mile connectivity solution to its customers. Our efforts towards sustainable business growth are well recognized in the top decile ESG rating from four global rating agencies," added Gupta. In 2023-24, APSEZ said it handled 27 per cent of the country's total cargo and 44 per cent of container cargo. Ten of its ports from the India portfolio recorded their lifetime high cargo volumes for the year. For 2023-24, the APSEZ Board has recommended a dividend of Rs 6 per share. This implies a payout of around Rs 1,300 crore for the company. A dividend is a reward that companies often provide to their shareholders, though it is not mandatory, from a portion of their earnings. APSEZ is the largest port developer and operator in India with seven strategically located ports and terminals on the west coast (Mundra, Tuna, Dahej, and Hazira in <keyword id="19906863" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gujarat" source="keywords">Gujarat</keyword>, Mormugao in Goa, Dighi in Maharashtra and Vizhinjam in Kerala) and eight ports and terminals on the East coast of India (Haldia in West Bengal, Dhamra and Gopalpur in Odisha, Gangavaram and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Kattupalli and Ennore in Tamil Nadu and Karaikal in Puducherry).

Mundra Port managed over 15,000 container trains in FY23. In FY23, APSEZ generated an impressive revenue of approximately ₹14,000 crore from rail cargo operations in collaboration with Indian Railways. Mundra Port witnessed a 4.3% year-on-year growth in double-stack container trains in FY23. The utilization of the double stack loading technique for containers on trains ensures energy efficiency and reliability in transportation, leading to reduced per unit cost and enhanced customer satisfaction, the company said. The company said that Mundra Port’s utilization of rail transport significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with freight transportation. Moreover, the efficient handling of container trains minimizes the reliance on additional truck transport, leading to further reductions in carbon emissions. APSEZ, a subsidiary of Adani Group, has transformed from a port company into an Integrated Transport Utility, offering end-to-end solutions from its port gate to the customer gate.

Adani Ports is making 68% margin from one of its ports – the stock has doubled since lockdown

New Delhi, May 18 () Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) on Monday said its subsidiary Adani Logistics is still in talks to buy Gateway Distripark Ltd's (GDL) 40.25 per cent stake in Snowman Logistics. GDL earlier this week had said that the proposed sale of entire 40.25 per cent stake of Gateway Distriparks in cold chain operator Snowman Logistics to Adani Logistics was called off due to repudiation of the agreement by the acquirer. As notified to the stock exchanges on April 1, 2020, Adani Logistics Ltd (ALL) currently holds 26 per cent of the total voting equity share capital of Snowman, pursuant to an open offer and that parties are in discussion in relation to the purchase of its 40.25 per cent stake in Snowman pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated December 27, 2019 between ALL, GDL and Snowman (SPA), APSEZ said in a regulatory filing to the BSE. "ALL has received a letter issued by GDL in relation to a purported repudiation of the SPA and ALL has duly responded to the same. ALL has categorically denied the correctness and basis of the statements, assertions and claims being made by GDL," APSEZ said. Snowman Logistics is the cold chain unit of Gateway Distriparks Ltd."The condition for completion of transaction by March 31, 2020 was not met by the acquirer, and the seller has notified the acquirer and the company that the agreement is not in force due to repudiation of the agreement by the acquirer," Gateway Distriparks has earlier said in a BSE filing.Last year, Adani Logistics had announced signing of a definitive agreement to acquire 40.25 per cent stake in Snowman Logistics from Gateway Distriparks for Rs 296 crore.

New Delhi, Feb 4 () Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) on Tuesday posted a 4.3 per cent fall in consolidated profit to Rs 1,356.59 crore for the December 2019 quarter, on the back of higher expenses.
 The company had posted a consolidated profit of Rs 1,418.96 crore in the year-ago period, APSEZ said in a filing to the BSE.
 The profit is "after tax and before the share of profit from joint ventures", according to the filing.
 However, the firm's consolidated total income during the October-December 2019 period increased to Rs 3,830.43 crore, compared with Rs 3,168.88 crore in the year-ago period, it said.
 Its consolidated expenses rose to Rs 2,091.40 crore, against Rs 1,347.97 crore a year ago.
 In a statement, the company said, "PBT (was) at Rs 1,739 crore and PAT (profit after tax) at Rs 1,384 crore."
 APSEZ Chief Executive Officer and Whole-Time Director Karan Adani said, "KPCL is a crown jewel to join APSEZ's string of 10 networked ports. This acquisition would accelerate our stride towards FY25 vision of handling 400 MMT (million metric tonnes) of cargo. Given the best-in-class infrastructure and the distinct hinterland catered by KPCL, this acquisition will add remarkable value to our pan-India footprint."
 He added that APSEZ with its pan-India presence has been "continuously outperforming Indian cargo volume growth".
 "Our focus on diversifying cargo mix continues. Gas (liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas) (was) the newest commodity added this quarter to the cargo basket. In FY20, we expect to achieve cargo volume of 224-226 MMT, revenue growth of around 13 per cent and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) growth of around 14 per cent," Adani said.
 Efficient use of water and energy from cleaner sources, reduction of emission levels and zero tolerance for fatalities at its ports continue to be the company's top priorities, he said.
 The company further said the ports across all the three regions -- eastern, southern and western -- registered strong growth.
 Dhamra Port, the eastern port of APSEZ, registered a growth of 44 per cent, Kattupalli, the southern port, registered a growth of 23 per cent. Western ports of Hazira and Mundra registered a growth of 9 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively. SID HRS

APSEZ Q3 profit drops 4.3 pc to Rs 1,357 cr

New Delhi, Jan 7 () Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has sufficient financial headroom to absorb its proposed acquisition in Krishnapatnam Port Company (KPCL), S&amp;P Global Ratings has said.
 "APSEZ's strong financial performance and flexibility in adjusting capital expenditure (capex) and dividends, and earnings contribution from Krishnapatnam will allow it to maintain its leverage within our rating threshold," the ratings agency said in a statement.
 Adani Group's port developing arm had last week said that it will acquire 75 per cent stake in KPCL in a cash deal that values the port at Rs 13,500 crore.
 S&amp;P Global Ratings said that it expects APSEZ to maintain its ratio of funds from operations to debt at more than 15 per cent following the acquisition.
 "APSEZ's leverage is likely to be about 15 per cent in fiscal 2021 (year ending March 2021) as a result of the acquisition, compared with our previous estimate of about 18 per cent. 
 "Leverage will then revert to 15-17 per cent in fiscal 2022 and beyond with higher operating cash flows and lower capex supporting deleveraging. We do not factor any improvement in margins of the acquired business or changes to APSEZ's dividends and capex plans," it said. SID SID ANS
