Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) raised its FY26 EBITDA guidance to ₹22,350–23,350 crore from an earlier ₹21,000–22,000 crore and increased cargo volume guidance from 505–515 million metric tonnes to 545–555 million metric tonnes following the acquisition of Australia’s North Queensland Export Terminal (NQXT). The deal provides APSEZ with full ownership of NQXT after securing necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals. NQXT is a deep-water export terminal serving mainly Asian markets, with a capacity of 50 million tonnes per annum. This acquisition bolsters APSEZ’s presence along the East-West trade corridor alongside holdings in Israel, Colombo, and Tanzania. The expansion supports APSEZ’s target of reaching 1 billion tonnes of cargo throughput by 2030, reflecting its strategic growth trajectory in global shipping and logistics.
