✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Adani Ports delivered its strongest ever quarterly performance in Q3 FY24, with revenue surging 45% YoY to INR 6,920 crore and EBITDA growing 39% YoY to INR 4,186 crore. PAT jumped 65% YoY to INR 2,208 crore, driven by record cargo volumes of 109 MMT (+44% YoY) across all segments. The company raised its FY24 volume guidance to over 400 MMT, reflecting robust demand from manufacturing and infrastructure. Logistics also posted strong growth, with rail volumes up 17% and GPWIS volumes up 53%. Management expects GDP growth of 6.5-7% to sustain momentum. Key risks include potential supply chain disruptions from the Red Sea crisis, which could impact ~10% of container volumes, and competitive capacity additions on the west coast.
अडानी पोर्ट्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में अब तक का सबसे अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कमाई 45% बढ़कर 6,920 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। कंपनी का मुनाफा 65% बढ़कर 2,208 करोड़ रुपये पहुंच गया। इसकी वजह रिकॉर्ड माल ढुलाई (109 मिलियन टन) थी, जो पिछले साल से 44% ज्यादा है। कंपनी ने इस साल 400 मिलियन टन से ज्यादा माल ढुलाई का लक्ष्य रखा है। रेल और लॉजिस्टिक्स कारोबार में भी अच्छी बढ़ोतरी हुई। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि देश की अर्थव्यवस्था 6.5-7% की दर से बढ़ेगी। लेकिन लाल सागर संकट से आपूर्ति में रुकावट और पश्चिमी तट पर नई प्रतिस्पर्धा जोखिम पैदा कर सकती है।
