"The Adani Group has removed a ban on exports and imports to and from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran at its Mundra port, reversing an order made in October. The company said it removed the ban after consultations with terminal and vessel operators, customs broker associations and importers who had agreed to adhere to security compliances. The Adani Group had banned the import and export of containerised cargo from Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan at its Mundra port on October 11. Mundra is the largest commercial port in India and emerged as the largest container handling port in the financial year 2020-21 (surpassing JNPT) with a market share of 32% (a gain of around 5%), according to the conglomerate's latest annual report."
