Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), part of India’s Adani Group, has reported a consolidated net profit of ₹3,310.60 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, marking a 6.5% increase over the ₹3,107.23 crore recorded in the same period last year. The company’s performance in the first quarter of FY26 reflects strong operational momentum and expanding revenue streams across multiple segments.

Adani Ports’ earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at ₹5,495 crore in Q1 FY26, a 13% increase compared to ₹4,848 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. However, the EBITDA margin slightly moderated to 60% from 64% in Q1 FY25, attributed to changing segment mix and expanding non-port revenues.
The company’s domestic ports business contributed ₹6,137 crore in revenue, reflecting 14% YoY growth with an improved EBITDA margin of 74.6%. International port revenue rose 22% YoY to ₹973 crore, with a substantial improvement in EBITDA margin to 21%, compared to 13% a year earlier.
The logistics segment more than doubled its revenue to ₹1,169 crore, driven by increased volumes and improved infrastructure utilization. Marine services revenue nearly tripled to ₹541 crore, underscoring the rising contribution of value-added services.

Cargo volumes handled during the quarter stood at 121 MMT, an 11% increase over Q1 FY25. This was primarily driven by a 19% increase in container volumes.

In a significant corporate update, the board of directors approved the re-designation of Gautam Adani from Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman, effective August 5, 2025.

Shares of Adani Ports were trading 1.63% lower at ₹1,368 on the BSE at approximately 2:05 PM after the results were announced. The stock movement comes amid broader market volatility and near-term profit booking.
Despite the marginal dip in operating margins, the company’s strong revenue performance and increasing share of higher-growth segments like logistics and international terminals highlight a strategic shift towards building a diversified, integrated port-led logistics platform. With stable cargo throughput, capacity enhancements, and improved cost efficiency, Adani Ports continues to maintain its leadership position in India’s maritime logistics sector.
