Adani’s Mundra Port continues to expand its market share in
AHMEDABAD: Competition between Government / Landlord Ports and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) in India is heating up, with the latter making rapid inroads into the emerging market.
Adani Group’s flagship Mundra Port boosted its market share of Indian containerised trade to 34% last fiscal year (2023-24), from 31% year-over-year
Mundra competes with Nhava Sheva Port for northwestern cargo, which makes up the bulk of Indian box volumes.
India
To amplify the growth pace for Adani, Mundra has seen container volumes increase from 2.7 million TEUs in 2014-15 to 7 4 million TEUs in 2023-24, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%.
That phenomenal growth for Mundra comes despite its high tariff rates. Mundra’s vessel and-container-related charges are substantially higher than those at the leading terminals in Nhava Sheva, according to anecdotal data.
According to local industry voices, greater efficiency and stronger hinterland cargo advantages are driving Mundra’s growth journey.

Adani’s Mundra Port continues to expand its market share in India
Additionally, Adani’s strategic terminal partnerships with liner giants CMA CGM and MSC yields significant volume gains for Mundra. The port saw 1.7 million TEUs of transshipment cargo-handling in fiscal 2023-24.
Steady cargo shifts away from government ports could threaten volume targets for India’s older buildoperate-transfer (BOT) terminal operators, who have concessions that mandate high royalty share obligations towards their landlord port entities.
“Clearly, the company’s business model of end-to-end service, strategic partnership with key customers, leveraging the network effect through its string of ports, and focus on operational efficiencies is yielding results,” said Mr. Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO at APSEZ in a recent statement.
He further said: “We continue to invest heavily in the business to drive growth, particularly in the logistics segment.”
Gupta went on to add: “Our newly launched trucking segment enables APSEZ to provide the last-mile connectivity solution to its customers Our efforts towards sustainable business growth are well recognized in the top decile ESG rating from four global rating agencies.”
APSEZ is also betting high on its new container transhipment terminal at Vizhinjam Port in southern India. The terminal recently kicked off trial operations, ahead of its official launch shortly.
“Once we complete the automation and the Vessel Traffic Management System, Vizhinjam will be in a class of its own as one of the most technologically sophisticated transshipment ports in the world,” APSEZ Managing Director Mr. Karan Adani noted.
“No other port in India – including our own highly advanced Mundra Port – has these technologies,” he added.

We are confident that this enhanced service will unlock new opportunities for businesses and contribute to the economic growth of Oman and our partners.”

India’s trade decit widens to $23.5 billion in July; exports contract 1.5%
N E W D E L H I : I n d i a ’ s merchandise trade deficit widened to $23.5 billion in July compared with $21 billion in the previous month, according to data released by the Ministry of Commerce on August 14.
Country’s merchandise exports declined by 1.5 percent, and imports rose by 7 5 percent during July The country exported $33.98 billion worth of goods, while it imported $57.48 billion.
“The wider deficit was driven by a sequential fall in exports (3.5 percent). The fall in exports was broad-based, and follows the trend of weaker-than-expected exports in J u l y a c r o s s E M A s i a , ” s a i d S h r e y a S o d h a n i , r e g i o n a l economist, Barclays.
In June, exports had risen 2.6 percent to $35.2 billion, while imports had expanded $5.1 percent to $56.8 billion.
“We will cross last year’s numbers. We are doing everything to push our
exports in different territories,” said S u n i l B a r t h w a l , C o m m e r c e Secretary, expressing hope that India is set to witness growth in exports this year
“There is scope to increase our exports to Africa,” Barthwal added.
In the first four months of the year exports were up 4 percent to $144.12 billion, but imports expanded faster at 7.6 percent.
“There has been a widening of the trade deficit during this period compared with last year by around $10 billion,” said Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist, Bank of Baroda.
The government’s performance on non-petroleum non-gems and jewellery exports was better as trade in this commodity rose 5.7 percent in July and 6.1 percent for the first four months of the fiscal.
Electronic goods exports were up 37.3 percent between April and July, while meat, dairy and poultry trade rose 56 percent.
The Commerce Secretary noted that one of the reasons for falling exports has been diversion of goods to the domestic market.
“India is growing at 7 percent, while global economy is expanding at 3 p e r c e n t , s o n a t u r a l l y o u r consumption is higher Rising imports in conjunction with consumption should not be a cause for concern,” Barthwal said.
An earlier analysis shows that electr
exports h
e been booming in the country owing to burgeoning smartphone exports. In th
India’s smartphone exports jumped 31.7 percent to $4.9 billion.
US, UAE and Netherlands were top smartphone export destinations for the country in FY24. These were also the top destinations for India’s exports between April-July 2024, while China, Russia and UAE were top countries contributing to India’s $229 billion imports.
Marginal Exports dips on the back of deteriorating global situation, drop in commodity prices and profitable domestic market: FIEO President
NEW DELHI: Responding to the Monthly exports figures of July 2024, FIEO President, Mr Ashwani Kumar said that the marginal dip in merchandise exports by a little over 1 percent to USD 33 98 billion is because of the continuous one after the other ongoing international trade disruptions The sharp drop in crude, commodities and metal prices have also played their role in declining values of exports Some of the exporters have diverted to the domestic market as profitability in exports have taken a hit with sharp rise in international freight (both ship and air), added FIEO President Mr Kumar also said that had it not been these trade disruptions led by logistical challenges such as lack of container availability, shipping space, irregular shipping schedule and ships skipping Indian ports, the merchandise exports would have recorded yet another positive growth
in exports that to in double-digits during the month
President FIEO added that the continuous hard work put in by the exporting community is paying dividends though there is also slowdown in demand from several key markets, reflected in sluggish growth projections Mr Ashwani Kumar, however, reiterated that he is optimistic of better growth numbers with improved demand coming in from the European Union, UK, West Asia and the US in months to come, besides returning of normalcy o f t r a d e b e t w e e n I n d i a a n d Bangladesh, which will not only further give a boost to the overall order bookings but also to the labourintensive sectors of exports.
FIEO Chief added that imports increased by about 7.45 per cent to USD 57.48 billion in July against USD 53.49 billion a year ago. The trade deficit during the month under review
stood at USD 23.5 billion, which is of concern, however a negative trade balance is not always bad, if a country is importing raw materials or intermediary products and capital goods to boost manufacturing and exports, added President, FIEO.
FIEO President, Mr Ashwani Kumar further reiterated that the need of the hour is to take steps on the liquidity front with deeper interest subvention support and extension of interest equalisation scheme for at least 5 years Besides, a d d r e s s i n g t h e M i d d l e E a s t geopolitical situation, Red Sea challenges by ensuring availability of containers, marine insurance and r a t i o n a l
s e i n f r e i g h t charges. The government may also look at facilitating trade through easy & low cost of credit, marketing support and conclusion of some of the key FTAs with UK, Peru and Oman soon

Govt set to scrap licensing need for local entities hiring foreign flag ships to operate outside India waters
NEW DELHI: Acting swiftly on a Budget announcement, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways plan to free Indian entities from taking a license from India’s maritime regulator while chartering foreign flag ships stipulated by the Merchant Shipping Act on the condition that the foreign ships so hired do not enter or operate in Indian waters during the charter period.
The move follows a demand b r o u g h t b y t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) to ease the local shipping law as it looks to offer more sops to entice ship operators to the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), a tax haven.
However, to be sure, the easing of licensing requirements for chartering
foreign flag ships is expected to be applicable to GIFT City entities as well as fleet owners operating from the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).
The government will implement ship ownership, leasing and flagging reforms to improve the share of
Sitharaman announced in her budget speech to Parliament on 23 July
On 5 August, the Ministry floated a draft on ‘Exemption from Licencing Requirement for Chartered Foreign Flag Vessels Notification 2024’,
stakeholders ahead of issuing a gazette notification on the matter
Section 406 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 mandates that
Indian ships and chartered (foreign) ships have to secure a license from the Directorate General of Shipping ( D G S h i p p i n g ) t o o p e r a t e The Directorate General of Shipping is India’s maritime regulator that oversees and implements the country’s shipping laws and rules.
“No Indian ship and no other ship chartered by a citizen of India, or a company or a co-operative society shall be taken to sea from a port or place within or outside India except under a licence granted by the Director General,” per Section 406 of the M S Act. Otherwise, an Indian entity is not allowed to charter a ship.
The Government is now planning to free the Indian entity chartering a foreign flag ship from this legal requirement.
DPIIT Secretary: India to consider Chinese FDI only on case-to-case basis
NEW DELHI: Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade downplayed speculation about a shift in India’s foreign direct investment policy towards China as much ado about nothing. Singh said that the gover nment’s stance remains unchanged, with Chinese investments still required to go through all checks and considered only on a case-to-case basis.
In an interview, Singh, Secretary of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), clarified that India had never blocked FDI proposals from China but only subjected them to increased scrutiny
“We are not looking to make any changes to Press Note 3
Case-by-case scrutiny will continue so there is no shift in policy stance. Of the total applications that came in from land border countries, I think 30-40 percent have been cleared over the last two years or so. And most of it would be from China or Hong Kong. Others are not net investors like Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal. So, it is not that there was ever a complete blockade,” Singh said.
Press Note 3, which came into force on April 22, 2020, intensified checks on an entity of a country sharing a land border with India in order to curb opportunistic takeovers or acquisitions of Indian companies.
Singh’s comment on this matter comes amid heightened expectations that India may be more open to FDI
manufacturing capacities The debate was sparked by a suggestion from chief economic advisor Anantha Nageswaran’s Economic Survey 2023-24 that pitched for more Chinese investments to keep a lid on New Delhi’s ballooning trade gap.
The Centre’s move to set up an online portal to expedite e-visas for Chinese technicians facilitating easier entry for them into India
speculations.
The secretary clarified that the Economic Survey’s suggestion should be looked at as an academic exercise. “It is just sharing an idea; it is a balloon that has been floated,” he said during the interaction.

CONCOR to levy terminal access charge on private operators
NEW DELHI: CONCOR will levy terminal access charge on private train operators to offset the volume risk associated with migrating the terminals it runs on Indian Railways land to the liberalised Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal (GCT) scheme which treats all such facilities as common user facilities, Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Swarup has said.
Since the terminals will become common user facility, CONCOR will charge terminal access charge to any operator that collects cargo from its terminals
“But our philosophy is very simple and straight The customer should pay the same charges whether the container arrives by a CONCOR train or it arrives by private operator train. The charges paid by customers should be the same, he should not be penalised either way, that is our philosophy, and we will stick to that,” Swarup stated The shift to the Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal scheme for running terminals built on Indian Railways land will potentially help the state-run rail hauler lower its land license fee (LLF) outgo by as much as Rs120 crore to less than Rs300 crore a year, the Company said in May this year
