- The Adani Group will invest over $75 billion in the energy transition over the next five years, with a focus on renewables, green hydrogen, and sustainable infrastructure.
- India has already achieved over 50% of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources, reaching this milestone five years ahead of global targets.
Adani Group has announced plans to invest over $75 billion in the energy transition space over the next five years, underscoring its commitment to shaping a sustainable future. Chairman Gautam Adani announced on Tuesday during the 100th anniversary celebrations of the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad.
Highlighting the Group’s rapid growth, he noted that Adani Group has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy companies, with substantial investments across multiple sectors of the green economy.
Gautam Adani emphasised that the global green energy transition is becoming the most significant industry of our time, with a projected value running into several trillion dollars in the coming decades. He explained that this transformation will drive the rise of electricity-based manufacturing, green steel, green fertilisers, hydrogen ecosystems, and the infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence and digital economies.
The Chairman reiterated that Adani Group will actively contribute to these developments by investing over $75 billion in the energy transition over the next five years, covering renewable generation, storage solutions, green hydrogen, and related technologies.
During his address, Gautam Adani also criticised what he described as a “weaponised narrative” at the recent COP30 in Brazil, where a report downgraded India’s sustainability ranking. He pointed out that, despite claims that India lacks a coal-exit timeline and continues to auction coal blocks, the country’s per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions remain among the lowest globally.
He further highlighted that India is driving the fastest energy transition in human history and has already achieved the milestone of over 50 per cent of installed electricity generation capacity from non-fossil sources, five years ahead of global targets.
Gautam Adani encouraged students to embrace responsibility and innovation, sharing his personal advice that “success is never granted. It is mined. It is extracted.” He urged them to become Bharat’s next generation of freedom fighters, contributing to the country’s economic and resource independence. He emphasised that their efforts in energy, industry, and sustainability represent not just the extraction of resources, but the extraction of sovereignty and dignity for the nation.
