Adani Ports delivered a stellar Q1 FY25 with revenue of INR 7,560 crore (+21% YoY), EBITDA of INR 4,848 crore (+29% YoY), and PAT of INR 3,107 crore (+47% YoY), all record highs. Cargo volume reached 109 MMT (+8% YoY, +13% proforma), driven by container growth (+17.4%) and market share gains. The logistics business saw rail cargo of 0.16M TEUs and GPWIS volume of 5.56 MMT. Management reiterated FY25 guidance of 460-480 MMT cargo, supported by ramp-up of Gopalpur and Vizhinjam ports. Capex guidance of INR 10,500-11,500 crore remains on track. Risks include potential impact from geopolitical tensions on Haifa operations and the ongoing land recovery case in Gujarat.
आदानी पोर्ट्स ने पहली तिमाही (अप्रैल-जून 2024) में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 7,560 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 21% ज्यादा है। कमाई में से 4,848 करोड़ रुपये का मुनाफा (EBITDA) हुआ, जो 29% बढ़ा। शुद्ध मुनाफा (PAT) 3,107 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 47% ज्यादा है। ये सभी आंकड़े अब तक के सबसे ऊंचे हैं। कंपनी ने 109 मिलियन टन माल ढोया, जो 8% ज्यादा है। कंटेनर कारोबार में 17.4% बढ़ोतरी हुई। कंपनी ने पूरे साल 460-480 मिलियन टन माल ढोने का लक्ष्य रखा है। नए बंदरगाहों (गोपालपुर और विझिंजम) से इसमें मदद मिलेगी। कंपनी 10,500-11,500 करोड़ रुपये निवेश करेगी। जोखिम: हाइफा बंदरगाह पर भू-राजनीतिक तनाव और गुजरात में जमीन विवाद का असर पड़ सकता है।
