Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Ltd (MPSEZ), multi private port operator and a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Lyd, on Monday informed BSE that Mundra Port has handled a record 9,84,000 metric tonnes of fertilisers in November, thus making it one of the largest fertiliser handling ports in the country.
Mundra port which is also India’s fourth largest commercial port is well equipped to handle 20 per cent share of India’s annual fertiliser imports that stand at 22 million tonnes currently thanks to its fully mechanised fertiliser cargo complex with a total capacity of 5,00,000 metric tonnes.
"We at Mundra Port aim to capture the top slot in the country for handling imported fertilizer cargo also as we did with coal. High level of mechanisation, state-of-the-art technology, our robust processes and very committed employees are behind this success,” said Unmesh Abhyankar, COO, MPSEZ.
Earlier in November, Mundra Port transported a record cargo of imported coal at its west basin terminal, Asia’s largest coal handling facility.
It has also commenced double stack container trains to help control transportation costs.
The trains are running from Mundra port to Patli near Gurgaon, Haryana, thus connecting northern India to the west.
