Mundra Port, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) in Gujarat, is India's largest private commercial port. It is currently driving a multi-billion dollar infrastructure blitz over FY 27– FY 31 to expand container handling capacity by 94 MTPA and build a world-class port city in the region.
The ongoing expansion and development strategy centers around several major initiatives:
Capacity Expansion: -
APSEZ has accelerated capacity-building across its north and west ports, with Terminal 5 (CT 5) currently under development.
The long-term plan aims to push the port's ultimate capacity to over 500 million tonnes to serve as a key transshipment hub for the Middle East, South Asia, and India.
World-Class Port City: -
The Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) is executing a comprehensive conceptual plan for a 502 sq km port city enveloping the Mundra and Anjar Talukas. This zone is designed to integrate global maritime communities and target specific industries like light engineering, iron and steel, food and agro-processing, and textiles.
Special Economic Zone (SEZ): -
The surrounding Mundra SEZ is being equipped with massive industrial land banks, dedicated liquid berths for hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, and extensive bulk/Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) handling infrastructure.
Logistics & Utilities Integration:- Significant investments are being dedicated to bulk up rail rakes, multimodal logistics parks, warehouses, and extensive desalination capacities of up to 400 MLD to sustain the industrial zones.
