Container segment drives headline growth

The figures underscore steady expansion across the core pillars of the port’s operations in the opening half of the fiscal year.
Rail logistics delivers mixed results
While rail‑logistics volumes rose in September, the segment’s cumulative performance for the half‑year lagged behind the previous year.
September 2026 saw rail traffic of 62,302 TEUs, a modest 3 % gain** over September 2025.
However, from April to September, rail‑logistics volume totaled 312,763 TEUs, reflecting a 13 % YoY decline.
September’s numbers reinforce first‑half momentum
The September data bolstered the overall half‑year results, with the port’s core cargo streams all posting double‑digit growth.
Overall cargo handling rose 15 % in the April‑September stretch, while both container and dry‑cargo volumes posted 15 % annual gains. The September cargo‑handling figure of 46 MMT contributed an 11 % increase over the same month a year ago.
