Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd. Company History and Annual Growth Details

We were incorporated as Gujarat Adani Port Limited on May 26, 1998, and commenced phased operations at Mundra Port in October 1998 with commercial operations beginning in October 2001. We were initially promoted by Adani Port Limited and Gujarat Port
Infrastructure Development Company Limited, an undertaking of the Government of Gujarat.

We entered into a Concession Agreement with the GMB and the Government of Gujarat on
February 17, 2001 pursuant to which we have been granted the right to develop and operate Mundra Port located at the Navinal Island in the Kutch region for a period of 30 years.

Pursuant to an order of the High Court of Gujarat, Adani Port Limited merged with us with effect from April 1, 2003. Further, MSEZ and ACL were merged with us with effect from April 1, 2006.

We received approval as a developer of a multi-product SEZ at Mundra and the surrounding areas from the Government of India on April 12, 2006. We have already received notification from the Government of India with respect to land covering 2,406.8 hectares (approximately 5,947 acres) on June 23, 2006. On July 3, 2007, we received a subsequent notification with
respect to an additional 251.4 hectares of land, resulting in a total of 2,658.2 hectares (approximately 6,568 acres). Such notification is granted only once land is in the possession of a developer, and as we further acquire land in and around Mundra, we will look to receive additional notifications in relation to such further acquired land.

In order to reflect the significance of the SEZ status and the changing nature of our business, we changed our name from Gujarat Adani Port Limited to Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Limited with effect from July 7, 2006.
