The Australian terminal adds scale to APSEZ’s presence along the East-West trade corridor, complementing its existing overseas assets in Israel, Colombo and Tanzania.

"NQXT is a high-quality asset with strong growth visibility and cash-generating characteristics,” said Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO of APSEZ. He added that the terminal’s geographic advantages and sustainability credentials make it a strategic fit for the group’s global expansion plans.
