What the management says
Karan Adani, Chief Executive Officer and Whole Time Director of Adani Ports & SEZ said, ““Our learnings in 2020 helped us weather the storm and our operational expertise allowed us to continue our expansion. The addition of two ports in 2021 – Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram in Andhra Pradesh on the east coast of India – to the ones on the west coast continued to tighten our panIndia presence. Our under-construction port of Vizhinjam in Kerala, along with our new terminal in Colombo, Sri Lanka, will act as a new transshipment hub in southeast Asia. Our carbon offsetting, mangrove afforestation and terrestrial plantation, as well as our extensive focus on the use of renewable energies, have meant that APSEZ is well on the road to achieving carbon neutrality by 2025 and becoming the world’s most sustainable ports company.”
