The collaboration between Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, ITC Limited, and Vale is expected to significantly boost India's iron ore export capabilities and global trade position.

Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, through its subsidiary Adani Gangavaram Port Limited, signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITC Limited and Vale (Brazil) at the India-Brazil Business Forum Summit in New Delhi. The agreement, signed in the presence of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, and Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce and Industry of India, establishes a framework for developing an iron ore blending facility and a dedicated Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Adani Gangavaram Port. This initiative aims to strengthen the Iron ore export value chain on India's East Coast, enhance efficiency, and increase global competitiveness in mineral processing and trade. The project will boost Adani Gangavaram Port's capacity to 75 MMT and enable it to handle Valemax vessels, positioning it as a major hub for Iron ore exports from India and the region. Ashwani K Gupta, CEO of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, highlighted the collaboration's role in building resilient infrastructure and strengthening India's position in global supply chains.
