## Description

Run by Adani Airport Holdings, India's largest private airport operator, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (IATA: AMD) has become a serious freight gateway for western India. A new integrated cargo terminal opened in 2025 lifts annual capacity fourfold, from 50,000 to 200,000 tonnes, across roughly 20,000 square metres handling both international and domestic consignments. Its dedicated export pharma terminal offers temperature-controlled storage with IATA GDP certification, ranking among India's largest facilities for healthcare logistics. Pharmaceuticals, engineering goods and garments from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh dominate the export mix. On-site customs and bonded warehousing streamline clearance, while the surrounding national highways and the nearby Mundra seaport support combined sea-air moves. For forwarders, AMD pairs strong belly capacity with purpose-built cargo infrastructure.
