Biznextindia : Adani Ports and Special Economic Zones (APSEZ) recorded 13% YoY growth in cargo volumes to reach 26.1 MMT in September 2022. This volume jump is despite an extended monsoon which adversely impacted the coal demand/imports and the ban/higher duties on rice exports imposed at the beginning of the month.
