The investment forms a key part of the Adani Group's broader strategy to strengthen infrastructure across multiple sectors, including energy, transport, logistics and digital businesses.
Focus on rising power demand
The planned expansion comes at a time when India's electricity consumption is witnessing steady growth, driven by rapid industrialisation, urbanisation and increasing energy requirements.
By significantly boosting its generation capacity, Adani Power aims to cater to the country's rising power demand while supporting long-term economic and industrial growth.
Bhutan hydropower partnership
As part of its clean energy initiatives, the Adani Group has partnered with Bhutan's Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 5,000 megawatts in the Himalayan nation.
The collaboration is expected to strengthen regional energy cooperation and contribute to sustainable power generation.
Entry into nuclear power
The Adani Group is also preparing to enter the nuclear energy sector through Adani Atomic Energy.
Group Chairman Gautam Adani described the move as "another confident step towards securing India's long-term energy future."
According to reports, land for the proposed nuclear power project has already been identified, with the conglomerate targeting a nuclear power generation capacity of 10 GW by 2035.
