Adani Ports Q1 FY27 Result: Net profit jumps 9% to ₹3,315 crore; revenue grows to ₹10,821 crore YoY

The country's largest private port operator’s revenue from operations grew 19% to ₹10,821 crore in the June quarter, as against ₹9,126 crore registered in the year-ago period.

Adani Ports' operating profit, also known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), jumped 19% to ₹6,540 crore as compared to ₹5,495 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Its EBITDA margin, however, expanded marginally to 60.4% in the reporting quarter from 60.2% in Q1 FY26.

The Adani Group firm’s international ports delivered robust growth, with revenue increasing 80% to ₹1,747 crore and EBITDA surging 256% to ₹730 crore on a YoY basis, led by strong performance in Australia and Colombo and reflecting the increasing maturity of APSEZ's overseas portfolio.

The domestic ports revenue grew 12% YoY, driven by cargo volume growth, superior product mix, and higher realisation.

Adani Ports stated that its gross debt stood at ₹56,776 crore, while its cash balance was ₹12,428 crore. The company reported a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.9x, with the proforma net debt-to-EBITDA, calculated using TTM NQXT EBITDA, at 1.8x.

Segment updates

Adani Ports said that its Q1 FY27 performance reflects the strength of a business that has expanded beyond traditional port operations. The company highlighted that its growing presence across ports, logistics, and international markets is creating multiple growth engines while enhancing the resilience of its earnings profile.

The international ports witnessed a volume growth to 22.8 million metric tonnes (MMT) from 7.7 MMT in Q1 FY26, driven by the addition of NQXT Australia and ongoing ramp-up at Colombo.

For the domestic port segment, Adani Ports said that it is undertaking one of the largest port capacity expansion programmes in its history, with domestic capacity expected to reach 1,000 MMT by December 2030, forming a strong foundation for its next phase of growth.

It also noted that its all-India cargo market share stood at 27.6% (compared to 27.8% in Q1 FY26), while its all-India container cargo market share was 44.8% (versus 45.2% in Q1 FY26).

Its marine revenue increased 67% annually to ₹901 crore, on the back of ongoing offshore vessel additions and European subsea expansion.

Adani Ports’ logistics business TEU rail volumes were impacted due to the ongoing Middle East crisis in the reporting quarter. The firm said it continued to build out the asset-light operations with trucking revenue up 26% YoY.

What management said

“Our domestic ports business continued to deliver strong growth and remains the bedrock of APSEZ's earnings, while International Ports, Marine, and Logistics have transitioned decisively from scale-up to scale-value, becoming increasingly important drivers of revenue growth and profitability,” said Ashwani Gupta, Whole-Time Director & CEO, Adani Ports.

“This balanced growth across businesses reinforces our confidence in achieving Ambition 2031. Supported by our domestic capacity expansion program targeting 1,000 MMT by 2030, a growing international portfolio, and a rapidly scaling logistics ecosystem, APSEZ is steadily building a more diversified, resilient, and globally relevant transport platform capable of sustaining long-term value creation,” Gupta added.
