“Our strong performance during the quarter underscores the resilience of our business model and the disciplined execution of our strategy. Despite geopolitical volatility and ongoing global tariff uncertainty, we surpassed our FY26 guidance, led by record 500 MMT port cargo volumes,” Ashwani Gupta, CEO, Adani Ports, said in a BSE filing.
The company said it has surpassed its FY26 guidance, which included revenue of Rs 38,000 crore, EBITDA of Rs 22,800 crore, and capital expenditure in the range of Rs 11,000–12,000 crore.

Domestic ports’ revenue rose 13%, aided by a 10-basis point gain in overall market share, while return on capital employed (RoCE) improved to 23% from 21% in FY25.
