This accomplishment not only reinforces the status of APSEZ Mundra as a premier port facility in India but also highlights the dedication and proficiency of the AICTPL team in managing complex logistics operations. As APSEZ continues to contribute significantly to India’s trade and economic growth, milestones like these further solidify its position as a leader in the maritime and logistics industry, emphasised a release.
