The company clarified that it consistently explores growth opportunities to enhance stakeholder value. As part of this ongoing process, the management engages in discussions with various parties.

The company, India's largest private port operator, reported a significant 76% increase in its fourth-quarter (Q4 FY24) profit, attributed to record cargo volumes. Consolidated net profit surged to Rs 2,040 crore in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to Rs 1,158 crore in the previous year.

Adani Ports manages 13 ports and terminals across India, including Mundra, Gujarat, which hosts the country's largest container-handling port.

In March, the company announced its intention to acquire 95% of Odisha's Gopalpur Port, further expanding its presence along the east coast.
