Company History - Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone
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.
