Adani Group Targets Major Infra Expansion With Rs 2 Lakh Crore Annual Investment Plan

The Adani Group plans to invest Rs 2 lakh crore annually in greenfield infrastructure projects over the next five years, spanning renewable energy, transmission, airports, logistics and data centres.

Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, made the announcement at the India Today Conclave, emphasising that resilient infrastructure networks will be critical to sustaining economic growth amid recurring global supply chain disruptions.

The investment blueprint, totalling Rs 10 lakh crore by 2031, reflects the group's strategy to strengthen India's capacity to support trade, manufacturing and economic growth.

Karan Adani highlighted the vulnerability of global trade routes passing through key maritime choke points such as the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca, noting that disruptions along these corridors can quickly ripple across global supply chains.

The group aims to become the country's most efficient logistics provider and among the cheapest generators of power while maintaining strong corporate governance.

By 2030, the Adani portfolio targets doubling port capacity from 600 million metric tonnes to 1,200 million metric tonnes, expanding renewable energy capacity from 18 gigawatts to 50 gigawatts, and increasing thermal power generation from 17 gigawatts to 45 gigawatts.

Airport capacity will jump from 100 million passengers to 200 million passengers by 2030.

Karan Adani noted that disruptions since 2020, from the Covid-19 pandemic to geopolitical conflicts, have reshaped global trade and supply chain strategies.

The group is also expanding its presence in materials such as cement, aluminium, copper and defence manufacturing, sectors that support large-scale infrastructure development.

Karan Adani emphasised the need to cut management layers within the group to support faster decision-making as it pursues this massive expansion, stating that infrastructure platforms built by the Adani Group are national assets that strengthen India's trade, logistics and energy security.
