The country’s largest integrated logistics player had posted consolidated profit of Rs 1,356 crore in the corresponding period a year earlier, Adani Ports said in a BSE filing.
The company said that the financial numbers of Q-3 FY-21 are not comparable to Q-3 FY-20 as it acquired Krishnapatnam Port in October, 2020, which is now consolidated. For Q-3 FY-21, Krishnapatnam Port reported revenue and EBIDTA of Rs 473 crore and Rs 336 crore, respectively. It handled a cargo volume of 10 MMT.
Commenting on Q-3 earnings, Karan Adani, CEO and Whole Time Director of APSEZ said, “The strong and lasting recovery at APSEZ has been the cornerstone of our journey in the recent past. It’s a proven certitude that our business now operates closer to a pure-play utility. Our portfolio of assets, increasing market share in India, and pre-eminence of our network with leadership positions have an unparalleled value proposition.”
