Port of Montreal and India's Adani Group strengthen ties that support Canadian trade diversification. * By Maritime Magazine * 2026-10-15 As part of Team Canada's trade mission to India from October 12 to 17, the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) and the Adani Group today announced the renewal of their collaboration agreement. The initiative aims to strengthen trade relations between the two countries and create new opportunities for Quebec and Canadian businesses. The agreement was signed this morning in Mumbai by Captain Sandeep Mehta, representing the Adani Group, and Marie-Claude Galarneau, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating and Transformation Officer of the MPA, in the presence of The Honourable Maninder Sidhu, Minister of International Trade of Canada. It builds on the collaborative efforts between the two port authorities that began in 2018 with the signing of their first agreement. The renewed agreement will enable the two organizations to continue working together on issues of mutual interest, including the efficient movement of goods and the enhancement of port infrastructure. The agreement focuses primarily on: * Developing trade between Canada and India, particularly through the Mundra - Montreal maritime corridor. * Joint promotion and information sharing to identify new business opportunities. * Sharing port and technological expertise to improve operations and the fluidity of road and rail transportation. * Exploring new areas of collaboration, including vehicle transportation and exchanges between the two organizations' teams. Strengthening its presence in a key market Against the backdrop of a changing global trade environment, the MPA is strengthening its presence in a strategic market to support trade diversification, develop lasting relationships with industry stakeholders and contribute to the resilience of supply chains between the two countries. Through its participation in Team Canada's trade mission and the appointment of Prakash Tulsiani as its new agent in India, the Port of Montreal is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining strong ties with this high-potential market. According to widely shared projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), India is expected to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2027-2028, underscoring the strength and consistency of its growth trajectory. The MPA's local representation will facilitate engagement with shipping lines, freight forwarders, as well as importing and exporting companies, while helping to raise awareness of the services and business development opportunities available between the two countries. Trade with India has become an increasingly important part of the Port of Montreal's activities in recent years. After becoming one of the Port's leading trading partners, India ranked second among the Port's markets in 2025, with a balanced flow of imports and exports. In total, one million tonnes of goods were exchanged between the two countries, including 60% exports and 40% imports. The main commodities traded include food products, ceramic products and plastics on the import side, as well as forestry and metal products on the export side.

Gautam Adani reflects on Bloomberg's vision for India and sustainable growth. Key points. * Gautam Adani emphasizes the need for visible and invisible infrastructure for national resilience. * He advocates for clean energy that is both affordable and reliable, especially for emerging economies. * Adani highlights the importance of community-focused development, citing the Dharavi redevelopment project. * True progress requires collaboration between capital, policy, and execution in energy transition. In a recent LinkedIn post, Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, shared insights from his interactions with Michael Bloomberg at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum held in New Delhi. Adani expounded on the dual facets of infrastructure that nations need to thrive: visible infrastructure such as ports and green hydrogen plants, and the invisible yet critical infrastructure that encompasses trusted data and accountable governance. He pointed out the differing perspectives of emerging economies like India, which prioritize immediate access to power and industrial capacity, and mature markets, which focus on the speed of decarbonization. Adani stressed the importance of making clean energy affordable for the general populace, asserting that any transition based solely on ideology without practical viability could lead to failure. He highlighted Bloomberg's longstanding commitment to India and its development, particularly in the realms of artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and green infrastructure. In a conversation about the revitalization of Dharavi, a dense urban area in Mumbai, Adani noted that successful redevelopment must consider the community's needs and values rather than just land metrics. He emphasized the need for climate-resilient homes, modern sanitation, and sustainable livelihoods in such urban projects. Adani concluded with a call for collaboration among four essential components: patient capital, effective execution, transparent governance, and capable local leadership, noting that none can replace the other in the quest for true nation-building and sustainable development.

Adani Logistics and CMA CGM flag off India's largest electric truck fleet for container movement at ICD Tumb. October 13, 2026 VAPI: Adani Logistics, in partnership with global shipping and logistics major CMA CGM, has flagged off India's largest electric truck fleet dedicated to container movement at the Inland Container Depot (ICD) Tumb, near Vapi, Gujarat. The initiative marks a significant milestone in the adoption of electric mobility across India's logistics sector and reinforces the industry's growing focus on sustainable cargo transportation. The deployment brings electric vehicles into the inland transportation of containerised cargo, strengthening connectivity between ports, inland container depots, warehouses and manufacturing centres. By integrating electric trucks into container logistics operations, the initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions, promote cleaner transportation and support the development of a more sustainable supply chain network. The fleet deployment reflects Adani Logistics' continued efforts to advance decarbonisation across its logistics operations. As highlighted in the company's communication, the initiative represents another step in Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited's (APSEZ) journey towards building a cleaner and more sustainable logistics network. Electric trucks are increasingly emerging as an important solution for reducing the environmental impact of road-based freight transportation. Their deployment in container movement can help lower tailpipe emissions and reduce dependence on conventional diesel-powered vehicles, particularly when supported by efficient fleet utilisation and charging infrastructure. The initiative also highlights the importance of collaboration between logistics operators and global shipping companies in accelerating the transition towards cleaner freight movement. By combining inland logistics capabilities with CMA CGM's global shipping network, the partnership aims to strengthen the integration of container transportation across the wider supply chain. The adoption of electric trucks is expected to support more sustainable first- and last-mile connectivity, enabling cargo to move more efficiently between inland facilities and gateway ports. Such integrated solutions are becoming increasingly important as Indian industry seeks to improve logistics performance while addressing environmental considerations. The deployment at ICD Tumb also reflects the broader transformation underway in India's logistics ecosystem, where technology, alternative-fuel transportation and multimodal connectivity are gaining importance. With growing emphasis on reducing logistics costs, improving operational efficiency and lowering emissions, initiatives of this nature can contribute to the development of a more resilient and environmentally responsible freight network. Through this collaboration, Adani Logistics and CMA CGM reaffirm their commitment to advancing sustainable transportation solutions and supporting the ongoing transformation of India's container logistics and supply chain infrastructure. The initiative underscores the role of industry partnerships in accelerating the adoption of cleaner mobility solutions and advancing India's transition towards a more efficient, connected and sustainable logistics ecosystem.
