Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) is an Indian multinational port operator and logistics company, part of Adani Group.[9][10] APSEZ is India's largest private port operator with a network of 12 ports and terminals, including India's first port-based SEZ at Mundra and the first deep water transshipment port at Thiruvananthapuram.[11][12] The company has attracted controversies for cronyism, alleged stock manipulation and violation of environmental norms.

Operations

[edit]

As of 2017, APSEZ operated 3 inland container depots (ICD) through its subsidiary Adani Logistics Ltd.[13] In August 2022, they acquired an additional ICD from Navkar Corporation in Tumb, Gujarat.[14]

It holds Category 1 License for the Indian Railways that helps in pan-India cargo movement.[15][13] The trains owned by Adani Logistics were used to dispatch 30,000 tonnes of food grains to feed over 60 lakh citizens across the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, and Maharashtra, during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.[16]

APSEZ provides dredging and reclamation solutions, primarily for port and harbor construction.[17] The Adani Group started investing in developing a dredging fleet in 2005.[citation needed] As of 2018, APSEZ operated a fleet of 19 dredgers, the largest capital dredging fleet in India.[18]

APSEZ has undertaken mangrove afforestation activities totalling 2885 Ha (as of August 2018) with a survival rate of over 85%.[19] In 2016, the company announced that all ports and townships were being prepared to run on 100% renewable energy by 2018 using a mix of solar and wind energy.[19]

In August 2017, a Morgan Stanley analysis described APSEZ as "stacking up well compared to its global peers: On operating metrics such as revenue growth, margins, EBIDTA growth, net income growth and return ratios (RoCE/ RoE), and based on bottom-up estimates by Morgan Stanley analysts covering global ports, APSEZ is expected to be in the top quartile across various operating metrics despite the tax holiday for Mundra port coming to an end".[20]

Private equity firm Warburg Pincus acquired a 0.49% stake in Adani Ports for ₹800 crore (US$96 million) on 7 March 2021.[21]

In April 2022, it was announced that APSEZ (through its subsidiary, The Adani Harbour Services Ltd.) had acquired the third-party marine services provider, Ocean Sparkle Ltd.[22]

In July 2022, APSEZ alongside the Gadot Group won the privatisation bid for Israel's Port of Haifa for US$1.18 billion.[23][24] Where Adani Ports and Gadot Group respectively hold 70%:30% of the shares.[23][24]

In September 2022, Adani Ports secured a US$3.1 billion deep-sea port construction project with the West Bengal government.[25]

According to the Business Standard report, In the fiscal year 2023-24, APSEZ managed 420 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo, marking a 24% growth. Additionally, APSEZ represents 44% of India's containerized seaborne cargo.[26]

In March 2024, APSEZ revealed its acquisition of Gopalpur port in Odisha, situated on India's east coast. The acquisition involved purchasing a 56% stake from the Shapoorji Pallonji Group and a 39% stake from Orissa Stevedores Limited in Gopalpur Port Limited, valued at Rs 3,080 crore.[27] In July 2024, the ratings agency ICRA has upgraded the rating of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) to AAA/Stable from AA+/Stable.

APSEZ has plans to construct a new port in Da Nang, Vietnam. The proposal got “in-principle approval” from the Vietnamese government. The port will feature container terminals and multipurpose berths to handle wide varieties of cargo.[28] The other foreign ports Managed by the company include Haifa, Israel;[29] Colombo, Sri Lanka;[30] and the Port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.[31]

In August 2024, APSEZ announced acquisition of 80% stake in Astro Offshore for $185 million. This move will help add to its roster of Tier-1 customers.[32]

Controversies

[edit]

Violation of environmental norms

[edit]

A committee chaired by Sunita Narain of the Centre for Science and Environment, was set up by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests to inspect the ship-breaking facility of APSEZ near Mundra West Port in Gujarat's Kutch district.[70][71] The committee, which submitted its report on 18 April 2013, found incontrovertible evidence of destruction, blocking of creeks, and non-compliance of other clearance conditions.[70][71] Subsequently, on 29 July 2013, a public hearing for the project was held where people from four project-affected villages and nearby locations attended the public hearing at Tunda village in Mundra taluka and posed questions about the project and its impact on the environment. The public hearing was successfully completed with the answers to each question asked by villagers. [citation needed] APSEZ was fines Rs 200 crore by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.[70]

Myanmar activities

[edit]

On 30 March 2021, the group of activists Justice for Myanmar released a press statement regarding the international activities of Adani Ports & SEZ.[72] They accused Adani of building a container port in Yangon, Myanmar on land leased from the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), a military-run business conglomerate, which was directly contributing financially to the Myanmar Junta after the 2021 coup.[72] The Australian Broadcasting Corporation corroborated the reporting of Justice for Myanmar including video evidence.[73] MEC and its subsidiaries are sanctioned by US, UK and EU.[72] On 7 March 2022, the Government Pension Fund of Norway placed the company under observation due to "unacceptable risk that the company contributes to or is responsible for serious violations of individuals’ rights in situations of war or conflict".[74][75] In October 2021, APSEZ announced that they would be "exiting the company's investment in Myanmar" after a risk management committee's review.[76]

CWC land grabbing

[edit]

The Supreme Court of India overturned an order given by the Gujarat High Court that allowed Adani Ports SEZ to reportedly take over 34 acres of land owned by Central Warehousing Corporation adjacent to the latter's Mundra Port.[77] The highest court in India issued a rebuke to Gujarat High Court for "adopting dual standards" when making its decision in favour of a business group.[78][79]

Allegations of stock manipulation

[edit]

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research published the findings of a two-year investigation claiming that Adani had engaged in market manipulation and accounting malpractices.[80][81][82][83] Hindenburg also disclosed that it was holding short positions on Adani Group companies.[80][81][82][83] Bonds and shares of companies associated with Adani experienced a decline in value after the accusations.[84][85] Adani denied the fraud allegations as 'unfounded and ill intentioned'.[86]

Auditor's concerns

[edit]

In May 2023, the company's auditor, Deloitte, issued a qualified opinion on the company's financial reports, as it could not verify whether certain transactions were with unrelated or related parties.[87] In August 2023, Deloitte resigned as the company's auditor citing its inability to scrutinize the company's transactions with other group companies of which it was not a statutory auditor.[88][89]
