Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) delivered a strong set of numbers in the December quarter, supported by higher revenue, steady operating margins, and progress on both domestic and international expansion projects. The Adani Ports Q3 FY26 earnings results highlighted the company’s ability to grow profitably while scaling its port and logistics network.
In Q3 FY26, Adani Ports reported a net profit of ₹3,054 crore, registering a 21.2% year-on-year increase compared with the same period last year. Revenue growth remained robust, driven by stable cargo movement and consolidation of newly acquired assets.
| Particulars | Q3 FY26 | Q3 FY25 | YoY Change |
| Net Profit | ₹3,054 crore | ₹2,520 crore | +21.2% |
| Revenue from Operations | ₹9,705 crore | ₹7,964 crore | +22% |
| EBITDA Margin | 59.8% | 60.3% | Largely stable |
Operating profit growth remained in line with revenue growth, indicating cost discipline despite ongoing expansion. EBITDA margins stayed close to last year’s levels, reflecting efficient port operations and integrated logistics services.
A key operational milestone during the quarter was achieved at Mundra Port, which became the first Indian port to handle a fully laden Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) directly at a jetty. This development is expected to reduce logistics and transportation costs over the long term.
Expansion initiatives played a major role in strengthening the outlook highlighted in the Adani Ports Q3 FY26 earnings results.
| Project | Details |
| NQXT Australia Acquisition | 50 MTPA capacity, strengthens global footprint |
| Vizhinjam Port Phase 2 | Capacity to rise to 5.7 million TEUs by Dec 2028 |
| Dighi Port RoRo Terminal | Capacity of 200,000 cars per year |
| Mundra Port | VLCC handling capability added |
The acquisition of NQXT Australia expanded Adani Ports’ international presence along key trade routes, while the Vizhinjam Port expansion is expected to enhance India’s transshipment capabilities once completed.
Following the earnings announcement, Adani Ports share price surged 8.72% to ₹1,525. The stock outperformed the broader market, emerging as one of the top gainers on the NIFTY50 index.
