Currently, HPC is the operator of Haifa Port in Israel.
In July, APSEZ and Gadot won a bid to take over the Port of Haifa with a concession period of up to 2054.
Following an offer of around $1.18bn, the partnership secured the rights to acquire 100% equity in HPC.
Adani will own a 70% stake in the port, while the remaining 30% interest will be held by Gadot.
