The Visakhapatnam Port Authority (VPA) has scripted a new chapter in its 92-year history, recording its highest-ever cargo throughput of 91.17 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) for the financial year 2025-26. This landmark achievement represents a 10.35% growth over the previous year’s record of 82.62 MMT, firmly establishing VPA as a leader among India’s major ports, said VPA chairperson M. Angamuthu.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, he said that the surge was driven by a 42% increase in fertiliser shipments and a 13% rise in oil and crude handling.
