The Adani Group is making huge investments across India. The conglomerate plans to spend $14 billion, or ₹1.2 lakh crore, in the fiscal year 2024-25. This money will go into developing India's infrastructure. ^[1][2][3]This latest investment marks a 40% increase from what the group spent in the previous fiscal year. ^[1][2][3]Adani has also committed a massive $100 billion investment over the next seven to ten years. This long-term plan focuses on green energy and transportation. ^[1][4][5] ### Cementing its Dominance The Adani Group is reshaping India's cement industry. It is consolidating its cement businesses under a "One Business, One Company" strategy. ^[6]The group plans to merge ACC Ltd and Orient Cement into Ambuja Cements. ^[7][8]This move aims to create a unified entity and streamline operations across the sector. ^[7][9][8] This strategic consolidation follows several key acquisitions. Adani bought Holcim's majority stakes in Ambuja Cements and ACC for $6.4 billion in 2022. ^[6][7]This acquisition immediately made Adani the second-largest cement producer in India. ^[7]More recently, in 2024, the group acquired Penna Cement and Orient Cement. ^[6][7]In 2025, it further expanded by acquiring cement assets of Jaiprakash Associates through an insolvency process. ^[7] The group's current combined cement capacity is approximately 107 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). ^[7][8]Adani has set an ambitious target to reach 155 MTPA by fiscal year 2028. ^[7][8]This is an increase from an earlier goal of 140 MTPA. ^[7]Ajay Kapur, CEO of the cement business at Adani Group, said the increased pace of capital expenditure will help achieve targeted growth ahead of time. ^[10]The consolidation aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency, which is crucial in a margin-sensitive industry. ^[6][7][9][8]This strategy will also help the group compete more effectively with industry leader UltraTech Cement. ^[7][9][8] ### Building a Green Energy Powerhouse A significant part of Adani's strategy is its aggressive push into green energy. More than 70% of its $100 billion long-term investment will go into green businesses. ^[1][2]This includes renewable power, green hydrogen, and green evacuation transmission lines. ^[1][2]Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) aims to become the world's largest renewable energy company. ^[11]It plans to reach 50 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2030. ^[12][13] The group is building the world's largest renewable park in Khavda, Gujarat. This massive project spans over 530 square kilometers. ^[1]It is expected to generate 30 GW of green energy at its full capacity by 2030. ^[4][5]This amount of energy could power over 60 million homes annually. ^[4]Recently, AGEL commissioned a 112.5 megawatt (MW) solar project and a 62.4 MW wind power component at Khavda. ^[14]This increased its total operational renewable capacity to 11,608.9 MW as of December 2024. ^[14]By September 2025, this capacity further grew to 15,990.5 MW. ^[15] Adani also formally entered the battery energy storage systems sector in December 2025. It launched a 1126 MW / 3530 MWh project at Khavda. ^[16]This demonstrates the group's commitment to a carbon-free future and sustainable practices. ^[12][17]Gautam Adani emphasized the importance of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into business operations. ^[17] ### Soaring in Aviation The Adani Group is making major moves in India's rapidly growing aviation sector. It plans to invest $11 billion, or ₹1 lakh crore, in its airports business over the next five years. Th^{[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]}is investment will go towards airport terminals, runways, aircraft-handling facilities, and enhanced passenger amenities. Th^[21]e group is set to operationalize the Navi Mumbai International Airport on December 25. Th^{[19][20][21][24]}is is the first airport built from scratch by the Adani Group. Th^[19][20][23]e new airport will initially handle 20 million passengers annually, with plans to expand to 90 million passengers in the future. A^[18]dani Airports Holdings Ltd. (AAHL) currently manages eight airports across India. It^[25] is India's largest airport operator by number of airports. Th^[19][20][22]e group plans to bid for all 11 airports that the Indian government wants to lease to the private sector. Th^{[19][20][21][22][23]}ese include airports in Amritsar and Varanasi. A^{[19][20][21][22][23]}AHL served 94 million passengers in fiscal year 2024-25. It^[25] has a long-term goal to nearly triple its annual passenger capacity to 300 million by 2040. Je^[25]et Adani, Director at Adani Airports Holdings, said the group has no plans to enter the airline business. He cited thin margins in that sector. Th^[19][20][22]e group's focus remains on building and operating long-term airport infrastructure assets. Ad^[19][20][22]ani Airport Holdings is also preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) by March 2028, possibly through a demerger from Adani Enterprises Ltd.. #^[21][25]## Digital Future and Financial Strength Beyond traditional infrastructure, the Adani Group is also investing heavily in digital infrastructure. It plans to invest $10 billion to develop hyperscale data centers across India. Th^[26]is move responds to the growing demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Th^[26]e conglomerate has identified four states as potential locations for two data centers with a combined capacity of 2 GW. Ad^[26]aniconneX, a joint venture with EdgeConneX, is leading this expansion. Th^[26]is includes a 1 GW data center in Maharashtra and a 100 MW data center in Telangana. T^[26]he group's financial performance reflects its aggressive expansion. In the fiscal year 2024-25, Adani Group reported a stellar performance. Its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) reached an all-time high of ₹90,000 crore. The ^[27]group also made a record capital expenditure of ₹126,000 crore in 2024-25. Its Pr^[27]ofit After Tax (PAT) rose to a record ₹40,565 crore in the same period. The cong^[27]lomerate achieved a Return on Asset of 16.5%, which it claims is among the highest globally in the infrastructure space. Gautam ^[27]Adani, the group's chairman, highlighted the company's commitment to "nation-building" and aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of self-reliance. He spoke^[4][5] about the importance of India's command over its natural resources and energy systems for its 21st-century sovereignty. The Ada^[4]ni Group is clearly forging a path of rapid growth and strategic diversification. Its focus on green energy, infrastructure, and digital expansion positions it as a major player in India's economic future.
