Adani Ports Considers Bid for Controlling Stake in UK's Associated British Ports
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), India's largest private port operator, is considering a bid to acquire a controlling stake of about 63.9% in the UK's Associated British Ports (ABP). The stake is held by two Canadian pension funds, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, which are selling their shares. ABP operates 21 key ports across England, Scotland, and Wales, including the UK's largest port by tonnage, Immingham, and Southampton, a major export port. ABP also supports the offshore wind industry through operations and maintenance services. APSEZ aims to become the world's largest transport utility by 2031.
