Infrastructure and Intelligence: Two Major Engines of Growth

Gautam Adani’s keynote for this year’s address was ‘Accelerating Infrastructure and Harnessing the Power of Intelligence’. He clarified that strong infrastructure like roads, ports, airports and power plants strengthen the country, while intelligence facilities like data centers, artificial intelligence and digital platforms provide the country with the ability to lead globally.

Major achievements in power and energy sector

Adani Group is aggressively expanding its capabilities in the energy sector. Adani Power is investing over 2 lakh crores with a target of reaching 45 GW generation capacity in the next 5 years. In addition, an agreement has been reached with the Government of Bhutan to develop 5,000 MW of hydropower projects. Adani Atomic Energy’s entry into the nuclear power sector is a major step for India’s energy security, with a target of developing 10 GW capacity by 2035.

New milestones in ports and logistics

On the connectivity front, Adani Ports has created a new record by handling more than 50 crore tonnes of cargo. Vizhinjam Port crossed the 10 lakh TEU mark in its first year, the fastest achievement for any Indian port. In the airport sector, Navi Mumbai International Airport has become operational from December 2025, with a capacity of 9 crore passengers. This airport and the new terminal at Guwahati Airport have been included in the list of seven most beautiful airports in the world.

Digital Transformation and Defence

Adani data center business is moving towards becoming a 3 GW capacity platform by 2030. The agreement with Google for a data center in Visakhapatnam shows the confidence of global tech companies in the Adani Group. In defense and aerospace too, partnering with companies like Leonardo and Embraer is creating a helicopter and aircraft manufacturing ecosystem. Drones and missiles developed by the Adani Group provided vital support to the Indian security forces during Operation Sindoor.

Financial performance and social responsibility
