MUNDRA: Adani Ports and Special
E c o n o m i c
Z o n e L t d (APSEZ) at Mundra has r e a c h e d a s i g n i f i c a n t milestone by handling 100 m i l l i o n m e t r i c t o n n e s (MMT) of cargo in the current financial year This achievement comes a month earlier compared to the previous year, and the team is now excited to reach the target of 200 MMT for the current year Last year, this milestone was achieved on October 28, 2023.
In the previous quarter, Adani Port recorded a notable increase in monthly cargo volume handling. In September, Adani Ports Mundra set a new record by handling 1,84,000 containers through 1,637 trains, including 43,000 containers handled through 766 double-stack container trains. This surpassed the previous record of 1,74,000 containers handled in July 2024. Additionally, South Port Railway Head and Exim Yard saw record-breaking container movements of 1,44,696 and 38,313, respectively By handling 100MMT of cargo in 181 days, Adani Mundra Port has been at the forefront of the Indian port and shipping industry.
In September, APSEZ's total ports handled 37.5 MMT of cargo, with container handling growing by 31% year-on-year. Liquid and gas cargo handling also increased by 11%. Alongside rail cargo volume, the company has shown remarkable performance in the logistics sector this year

BofA sees India’s forex pile reaching $745 billion in March 2026
M U M B A I : I n d i a ’ s f o r e i g nexchange reserves will likely rise to $745 billion by March 2026, giving the central bank more potential firepower to influence the rupee, according to Bank of America.
The monetary authority “seems relaxed about holding larger forex reserves, owing to its desire to build
buffers against contingent external risks,” BofA analysts Rahul Bajoria and Abhay Gupta wrote in a note recently. India’s reserves adequacy appears strong compared with other major emerging markets, but not necessarily excessive, they said.
India has the world’s fourthbiggest foreign reserves at $692
billion as rising overseas inflows into the nation’s stocks and bonds have helped the Reserve Bank of India boost its stockpile to a record high. The amount provides stability to the rupee against external shocks, with the RBI using its reserves to limit extreme swings in the currency hovering near a record low.

US Port strike ends leaving huge cargo backlog to be cleared
NEW YORK: U S East Coast and Gulf Coast ports were reopened on Friday after dockworkers and port operatorsreachedawage dealto settle the industry’s biggest work stoppage in nearly half a century, but clearing thecargobacklogwilltaketime
The strike ended sooner than investors had expected, weakening shipping stocks as freight rates were no longer expected to surge.
“The port strike ended fairly quickly, removing any significant downside risk to the economy this quarter,” said Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics At least 54 container ships had lined up outsidetheportsasthestrikeprevented unloading, according to Everstream Analytics, threatening shortages of anything from bananas to auto parts. Moreshipsaresuretoarrive
Pricing platform Xeneta said it was likely to take two to three weeks for the normal flow of goods to be reestablished.
“Remember that ships keep calling, so it’s not just a matter of handling the ships already in line, but to work extra hard to run down the congestion before supply chains are rerunning,” Xeneta Chief Analyst Peter Sand told Reuters.
T
workers union and United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) port operators announced the deal late on Thursday. Sources said they had agreed a wage hike of around 62% over six years, raising average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour

The report also revealed that the warehousing demand/ leasing of 20.3 mn sq ft in H1 2024 far surpassed new supply, which stood at 14.8 mn sq ft The segment also recorded the lowest ever vacancy rate of 8.2%.
It underscored the prevalence of regional trends, such as a 25% increase in Grade A supply in Bengaluru between Q1 and Q2 2024 showcasing the steady growth of warehousing infrastructure in the city.
Pune has also witnessed demand for Grade A warehousing space, contributing significantly to overall
demand in the market. In H1 2024, Pune alone accounted for 48% of the total demand registered in the MMRPune region Despite a surge in demand, Pune faces a supply shortage, with the demand-to-supply ratio hitting 2x, indicating the p o t e n t i a l f o r s i g n i f i c a n t n e w development in the coming quarters.

“The Indian real estate market is evolving rapidly, with specialized s e g m e n t s l i k e w a r e h o u s i n g complementing the robust growth of the more traditional segments. Cities like Pune and MMR have emerged as critical industrial hubs, accounting for nearly 50% of the Grade A warehousing demand As these regions continue to develop – with i n c r e a s e d i n v e s t m e n t s , t h e establishment of new manufacturing units, and the rise of e-commerce, we foresee sustained momentum in demand going into Q4 2024 and the new year,” said Boman Irani, president, CREDAI.
“Global manufacturers are either shifting from China or expanding into India and on the other side, we are seeing a massive expansion of e-commerce and 3PL based on the consumption patterns in tier-I and tier-II cities of India The India advantage of low wages, technology push in manufacturing coupled with ease of doing business will be the driving factors over the next few years as we leapfrog to 300 msf stock by 2025-end,” said Abhishek Kiran Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, CRE Matrix.
Drewry introduces new Breakbulk Sea Transport Indices and incorporates within its Multipurpose Forecaster service
L O N D O N :
To better reflect the nuances of the m u l t i p u r p o s e sector, Drewry has introduced Breakbulk Sea Transport Indices for both Project and General Cargo vessel segments, replacing the previous Multipurpose (MPV) Time Charter Index.
Beyond the overall strength of the wider MPV sector, the new indices highlight the relative strength of Project Cargo, with carriers in this niche vessel segment experiencing a stronger market than General Cargo
since the Covid boom. “With further increases in project cargo volumes anticipated in the second half of this decade, we expect the current divergence in market dynamics to continue,” said Dr Ferenc Pasztor, Head of Ports and Specialised Shipping Research. “To better present the status of the discreet sub categories within the overall multipurpose shipping sector, we have introduced these new Breakbulk Sea Transport Indices, which will be updated and published monthly on the Drewry website.”
This long-planned update also
presented the opportunity to look beyond the vessel charter market and create indicators which provide guidance for the freight market.
“While we recognise these new indices are by no means a perfect representation of the seaborne breakbulk freight market,” continued Dr Pasztor, “the inclusion of various s e c t o r s ( M P V, d r y b u l k , containerships, RoRo) and vessel capacity categories provide a robust market assessment in a sector where freight rates cannot be standardised in the way shipping containers facilitate
PM Modi calls urgent top-level security meet on widening West Asia Crisis
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi called an urgent meeting of the government’s topmost decision-making body –the Cabinet Committee on Security over the crisis in West Asia.
The committee comprising the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, the Defence Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Finance Minister and the National Security Adviser, discussed in detail the fresh hostilities in the Middle East and the sharp escalation after Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel.
D e s c r i b i n g t h e r e c e n t developments in West Asia as “deeply concerning“, the highest committee in the country delved upon various issues arising from the ongoing and widening crisis.
Among several key issues, they discussed the impact on trade, navigation, and supply chains –especially the supply of oil, petroleum, and its products.
India has urged all parties
involved in the conflict to address all
New Delhi has also said that the ongoing conflict “must not take a wider regional dimension.”
IMPACT ON MARITIME TRADE AND SUPPLY CHAINS
A conflict doesn’t just affect those who are party to it, but has a fallout that impacts the rest of the region and even the world With the sharp escalation between Iran and Israel, India is bracing for wider trade disruptions across the key Red Sea and Gulf of Aden routes.
T h e c o n f l i c t c a n l e a d t o significantly higher cargo freight tariffs as Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah militants have close ties with the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are responsible for most attacks on merchant ships and vessels carrying cargo via the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden routes.
The Red Sea crisis began in October last year, when Iran-backed
Houthi militia disrupted global trade in the area. For India alone, it affected petroleum exports which dropped 37.56 per cent to $5.96 billion in August this year, down from $9.54 billion in the same month last year The Red Sea route followed by the Suez Canal accounts for 50 per cent of India’s exports – worth Rs 18 lakh crore, and 30 per cent of imports, worth Rs 17 lakh crore, as per data from 2023. India’s overall merchandise trade (exports and imports combined) in F Y 2 3 w a s R s 9 4 l a k h c r o r e , with 68 per cent (in value terms) and 95 per cent (in volume terms) shipped by sea. India also trades heavily with the Gulf nations. As per the latest g o v e r n m e n t d a t a , t h e G u l f Cooperation Council or GCC now contributes 15 per cent of India’s total trade, and sectors like energy, defence, security, and health are growing rapidly in the region. The bilateral trade between India and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries reached $162 billion last year
