Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone has announced that Mundra Port has become India’s largest automobile export hub, marking a major milestone for the country’s growing presence in global vehicle trade. The port recently set a national record by exporting 6,008 cars in a single vessel, underlining its rising importance as a key gateway for automobile shipments.
Record shipment boosts Mundra’s position
Located in Mundra, the port has emerged as a major export centre for vehicles, with its roll-on roll-off terminal handling shipments to more than 100 countries.
This achievement reflects the increasing demand for Indian-made vehicles across global markets. Passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and commercial vehicles manufactured in India are being shipped to regions such as Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Europe. The RoRo terminal at Mundra has played a key role in this growth by enabling efficient and large-scale movement of vehicles, helping automakers reach international buyers faster and more reliably.

He noted that the company’s expansion has accelerated significantly over the years. While it took 16 years to reach the first 100 million tonnes of cargo, subsequent milestones were achieved at a much faster pace, showing strong growth momentum.
