Mr. Karan Adani, Chief Executive Officer and Whole Time Director of APSEZ said “Our strategy to diversify and ability to handle all types of cargo enabled us to outperform and deliver another year of stellar operational and financial performance. In FY20, we added LNG and LPG into our cargo portfolio. We have also increased our logistics footprint by focusing on increasing connectivity to our ports through our own rakes, inland freight terminals, warehousing solutions and concentrating on end mile connectivity. This enables us to provide an integrated logistics service to our customers and bring them to our port gate.

 

As a strategy, we always maintain a liquidity cover of 2x. In FY21, we will reduce our operating costs and Capex will be curtailed to Rs.2,000 cr.  Focus will be on conserving cash, generating higher free cash flow and increasing the ROCE from our business.

Considering current situation due to spread of COVID-19, we are Implementing Govt. of India operating procedures at all our ports with safety of the workforce as a top priority.

Operational staff is quarantined at ports with necessary arrangements in place for safe work environment. Hygiene, sanitization of workplaces & sites are a top priority and has enabled 100% thermal scanning. Majority of our administrative staff are working from home.

Ports fall under essential services and as such all our ports are operating efficiently during this period of crises to ensure that supply chain of essential goods is not disrupted.”
