August 22, 2019: Essar Ports has declared that the higher capacity utilisation at its recently commissioned terminals at Salaya and Vizag, and an increase in third-party cargo were the two key factors that will help it to achieve its target of handling 60 million tonnes (MT) of cargo by March 31, 2020.
The company’s first quarter cargo handling performance has been very strong and brought it closer to achieving its target throughput by the end of the current financial year.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, Essar Ports reported an impressive 17.4 percent growth in cargo volumes across its four terminals.
All Essar terminals are focused on bulk and dry bulk cargoes that are primarily used as raw material in core sector industries, like steel and power.
Dry bulk (thermal coal, pet coke, bauxite)
“Our business is on a record growth trajectory with all terminals operating in full swing.
