Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd builds and runs port infrastructure in India and abroad. It handles the movement of cargo through container terminals, bulk terminals, liquid terminals, and related port services. It also develops special economic zones, logistics parks, warehousing, and other infrastructure tied to trade and manufacturing.

Its main customers are shipping lines, importers, exporters, commodity traders, and industrial companies that need to move goods in and out of the country. The company makes money by charging for port handling, vessel and cargo services, storage, land leases, and logistics services. In some cases it also earns from leasing industrial land and facilities in its special economic zones.

What makes the business model distinctive is that it sits at the center of the trade chain: it does not just provide a berth for ships, but also connects ports with roads, rail, warehouses, and inland logistics. That gives customers a single place to move, store, and distribute cargo, while helping the company capture more of the value created by trade flow and industrial development.
