Adani Ports will purchase a 56 percent stake in Gopalpur Port from real-estate conglomerate Shapoorji Pallonji Group (SP Group) and a 39 percent stake from Orissa Stevedores.
The enterprise value of the deal is ₹30.80 billion.
Gopalpur handles a diverse mix of dry bulk cargo, including iron ore, coal, limestone, ilmenite, and alumina.
“GPL (Gopalpur Port) will add to the Adani Group’s pan-India port network, east coast vs west coast cargo volume parity and strengthen APSEZ’s integrated logistics approach,” said Karan Adani, managing director at Adani Ports.
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) develops and operates about 12 ports and terminals on the west and east coasts of India.
