Adani Group Plans Massive Rs 12 Lakh Crore Investment in India's Infrastructure and Renewable Energy by 2031

Adani Group, a diversified conglomerate with 11 publicly listed companies, has announced ambitious investment plans for India's future development.

During his visit to Dhanbad, Jharkhand, Chairman Gautam Adani revealed that the ports-to-energy conglomerate plans to invest between Rs 10 to 12 lakh crore in India over the next six years.

These substantial investments will target key sectors including infrastructure, mining, renewable energy, and ports, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for national self-reliance.

"There is huge investment potential. We will invest Rs 10 to 12 lakh crore in India in the next six years," Adani stated in his interview with PTI.

The billionaire businessman described the current drive for self-reliance as "India's new Independence," noting that corporate India and industrialists are increasingly supporting this national mission.

"Struggle for achieving self-reliance is on...the Prime Minister has also given a call for this...That is a new Independence. That is what every industrialist and every group is working on," he explained.

Adani was in Dhanbad attending the centenary celebrations of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, where he elaborated on his group's investment strategy.

The comprehensive investment plan encompasses technology, energy transition, infrastructure development, and port expansion to position India competitively on the global stage.

"We have invested to become one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy companies...We are preparing for a scale of expansion that matches India's aspirations for the next decade," Adani emphasized.

One of the group's flagship projects is the development of the world's largest renewable energy park at Khavda in Gujarat. Spanning 520 square kilometers, this massive facility is projected to generate 30 GW of green energy at full capacity by 2030—enough to power over 60 million homes annually.

Beyond renewable energy, the group has outlined plans to expand its mining and materials operations, covering everything from ore extraction to manufacturing metals, alloys, and finished products for the green economy transition.

When questioned about the challenges his group has faced, Adani described them as "part of the game and part of the journey," adding that "Indian industry today sees itself as a partner in nation building."

During his keynote address at IIT ISM's centenary celebration, Adani announced the group's intention to invest over $75 billion in energy transition initiatives over the next five years.

He highlighted that the global shift toward green energy represents the largest emerging industry of our time, potentially worth several trillion dollars in the coming decades.

According to Adani, this transition will drive the growth of electricity-based manufacturing, green steel, green fertilizers, hydrogen ecosystems, and the critical infrastructure necessary for AI and digital economies.

At 62, Gautam Adani has established himself as a first-generation entrepreneur who has built a business group with a market capitalization exceeding $200 billion.

The Adani Group continues to position itself as a key player in India's economic development and energy future.
