Operations

As of 2017, APSEZ operated 3 inland container depots (ICD) through its subsidiary Adani Logistics Ltd.[12] In August 2022, they acquired an additional ICD from Navkar Corporation in Tumb, Gujarat.[13]

It holds Category 1 License for the Indian Railways that helps in pan-India cargo movement.[14][12] The trains owned by Adani Logistics were used to dispatch 30,000 tonnes of food grains to feed over 60 lakh citizens across the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, and Maharashtra, during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.[15]

APSEZ provides dredging and reclamation solutions, primarily for port and harbor construction.[16] The Adani Group started investing in developing a dredging fleet in 2005.[citation needed] As of 2018, APSEZ operated a fleet of 19 dredgers, the largest capital dredging fleet in India.[17]

APSEZ has undertaken mangrove afforestation activities totalling 2885 Ha (as of August 2018) with a survival rate of over 85%.[18] In 2016, the company announced that all ports and townships were being prepared to run on 100% renewable energy by 2018 using a mix of solar and wind energy.[18]

In August 2017, a Morgan Stanley analysis described APSEZ as "stacking up well compared to its global peers: On operating metrics such as revenue growth, margins, EBIDTA growth, net income growth and return ratios (RoCE/ RoE), and based on bottom-up estimates by Morgan Stanley analysts covering global ports, APSEZ is expected to be in the top quartile across various operating metrics despite the tax holiday for Mundra port coming to an end".[19]

Private equity firm Warburg Pincus acquired a 0.49% stake in Adani Ports for 800 crore (US$100 million) on 7 March 2021.[20]

In April 2022, it was announced that APSEZ (through its subsidiary, The Adani Harbour Services Ltd.) had acquired the third-party marine services provider, Ocean Sparkle Ltd.[21]

In July 2022, APSEZ alongside the Gadot Group won the privatisation bid for Israel's Port of Haifa for US$1.18 billion.[22][23] Where Adani Ports and Gadot Group respectively hold 70%:30% of the shares.[22][23]

In September 2022, Adani Ports secured a US$3.1 billion deep-sea port construction project with the West Bengal government.[24]

As of August 2016, approximately 20,000 ships had docked at Mundra without a single accident representing the high safety standards implemented by the port authorities.[citation needed] Mundra Port had two single-point mooring (SPM) facilities to evacuate crude oil.[10] Efforts to build a new container terminal in Mundra in partnership with French shipping giant CMA Terminals were underway as of January 2017.[10][26]

Krishnapatnam Port

Krishnapatnam Port Company Limited (KPCL) is a multi-cargo facility port located near Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. KPCL was acquired by Adani Ports in October 2020 for INR 13,000 cr. from the CVR Group.[27][28][29] Originally, they had a 75% stake but by April 2021 they acquired the remaining 25% stake from Vishwasmudra Holdings.[27][30]

Vizhinjam Port

APSEZ won a bid with the Kerala government to construct the Vizhinjam International Seaport in 2015.[40] While the initial completion date was projected for 2020[41] the construction has experienced multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and cyclones.[42] Adani sought an extension to 2024 but this led to disputes with the Kerala government.[42][43]

Controversies

Violation of environmental norms

A committee chaired by Sunita Narain of the Centre for Science and Environment, was set up by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests to inspect the ship-breaking facility of APSEZ near Mundra West Port in Gujarat's Kutch district.[54][55] The committee, which submitted its report on 18 April 2013, found incontrovertible evidence of destruction, blocking of creeks, and non-compliance of other clearance conditions.[54][55] Subsequently, on 29 July 2013, a public hearing for the project was held where people from four project-affected villages and nearby locations attended the public hearing at Tunda village in Mundra taluka and posed questions about the project and its impact on the environment. The public hearing was successfully completed with the answers to each question asked by villagers.[citation needed] APSEZ was fines Rs 200 crore by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.[54]

Myanmar activities

On 30 March 2021, the group of activists Justice for Myanmar released a press statement regarding the international activities of Adani Ports & SEZ.[56] They accused Adani of building a container port in Yangon, Myanmar on land leased from the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), a military-run business conglomerate, which was directly contributing financially to the Myanmar Junta after the 2021 coup.[56] The Australian Broadcasting Corporation corroborated the reporting of Justice for Myanmar including video evidence.[57] MEC and its subsidiaries are sanctioned by US, UK and EU.[56] On 7 March 2022, the Government Pension Fund of Norway placed the company under observation due to "unacceptable risk that the company contributes to or is responsible for serious violations of individuals’ rights in situations of war or conflict".[58][59] In October 2021, APSEZ announced that they would be "exiting the company's investment in Myanmar" after a risk management committee's review.[60]

CWC land grabbing

The Supreme Court of India overturned an order given by the Gujarat High Court that allowed Adani Ports SEZ to reportedly take over 34 acres of land owned by Central Warehousing Corporation adjacent to the latter's Mundra Port.[61] The highest court in India issued a rebuke to Gujarat High Court for "adopting dual standards" when making its decision in favour of a business group.[62][63]

Allegations of stock manipulation

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research published the findings of a two-year investigation claiming that Adani had engaged in market manipulation and accounting malpractices.[64][65][66][67] Hindenburg also disclosed that it was holding short positions on Adani Group companies.[64][65][66][67] Bonds and shares of companies associated with Adani experienced a decline in value after the accusations.[68][69] Adani denied the fraud allegations as 'unfounded and ill intentioned'.[70]
