【Adani Vijenjam Port: 2 Million TEUs Handled in 18 Months, Setting a New Indian Record】 (1) Adani Vijenjam International Seaport, developed and operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zones Limited (APSEZ), has handled 2 million TEUs in just 18 months since its official opening, becoming the fastest port in India to reach this milestone. The port began trial operations in July 2024, officially opened in May 2025, and surpassed 1 million TEUs in August 2025. (2) Vijenjam Port is strategically located in the Indian Ocean Corridor, only 10 nautical miles from the main international east-west shipping routes. With a natural water depth of about 20 meters, it can accommodate ultra-large container ships (67 ships have been handled, such as the "MSC Irina"). Its operational efficiency and locational advantages provide shipping companies with a stable and efficient transshipment option against the backdrop of global shipping routes being affected by geopolitics and supply chain disruptions. (3) The port’s rapid growth helps reduce India’s reliance on overseas transshipment ports, enhance its cargo transshipment capacity and maritime competitiveness. The second phase of the expansion project, with an investment of approximately 160 billion rupees, is expected to be completed in 2028 and will further enhance container handling capacity. APSEZ has already achieved a cargo throughput of 500 million tons in a fiscal year, consolidating its leading position in India’s private port operations.
