Adani Ports keen to enter Maharashtra, AP, K'taka and foreign nations.

Adani Ports is keen to complete its own 'Sagarmala' dream by having presence in the three key states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, apart from setting up trans-shipment terminals in Southeast Asia and East Africa, a top company official said.

Adani Group, which began work on its first international trans-shipment container port at Vizhinjam , now operates nine ports which would have an installed capacity of 490 million tonnes (MT) by the next fiscal. With this, the Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) becomes the country's largest ports operator in the private sector.

The Gautam Adani-led company would be closing the year with having handled 144 MT cargo out of its present installed capacity of 390 MT.
