Vizhinjam port to lead next wave of growth as Adani Ports & SEZ unveils 5-year capex plan


Posted on 08 May 2026

With key ports such as Mundra and Vizhinjam running near full capacity, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has prepared a ?90,000 crore–?1 lakh crore infrastructure blitz over FY27–FY31, accelerating expansion across container terminals, liquid cargo facilities and logistics networks to capture the next wave of India’s trade growth.

The aggressive scale-up will be centred around ports including Mundra, Vizhinjam, Dhamra, Hazira, Krishnapatnam, Ennore and Kattupalli, with over 60 per cent of the planned capex earmarked for domestic ports expansion. During the next five years, the company plans to spend ?60,000–63,000 crore on domestic ports, with a large part of the investments directed towards expanding container handling infrastructure, liquid terminals and cargo evacuation systems.

A significant portion of the expansion will come from container terminals, with Mundra set to add 94 MTPA of capacity, while expansions are also planned at Vizhinjam, Ennore and Kattupalli. Dhamra will see an additional 49 MTPA capacity expansion driven by rising rail-sea-rail cargo movement, while Hazira’s liquid cargo handling capacity will be expanded by 11 MTPA. APSEZ is also scaling up dry cargo infrastructure at Krishnapatnam.
