WEF 2026: Adani Group sets out ₹6 lakh crore investment blueprint for India
Adani Group outlines multiple investment plans ₹6 lakh crore in aviation, clean energy, urban infrastructure, digital platforms and advanced manufacturing, signaling a new phase in large-scale private capital deployment aligned with India’s growth priorities.
Presenting its plans at the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, the conglomerate said the investments cover Maharashtra, Assam and Jharkhand and reflect a strategic shift from independent asset creation towards integrated, technology-driven infrastructure platforms.
The group gave details of the expanded aviation and aviation ecosystem in Assam centered on the Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati, whose new terminal was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2025 and is expected to become operational next month.
The plans include hospitality and retail infrastructure, an aviation training academy with Level-D full flight simulators and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities for narrow and wide-body aircraft, positioning Guwahati as a regional aviation hub for the Northeast.
The group also announced large-scale renewable energy projects in Assam’s Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts, adding more than 2,700 megawatts of solar capacity.
Complementary investments include cement manufacturing and grinding units to strengthen construction supply chains in eastern and northeastern India.
Adani Group’s proposed investments in Maharashtra are based on urban redevelopment, digital infrastructure and next-generation energy systems.
These include the Dharavi redevelopment project in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai International Airport, which became operational on December 25, and associated logistics, commercial and hospitality ecosystems.
The Maharashtra portfolio also includes green data center parks with a total capacity of 3,000 MW, an integrated arena district near the airport, pumped storage hydropower projects with a total capacity of 8,700 MW, coal gasification initiatives, semiconductor and display manufacturing facilities, and a nuclear power project aligned with the government’s evolving framework for private sector participation.
The group said the proposed investments are designed to create jobs, develop skills and support technology-led engagement, while aligning with national priorities such as energy transition, manufacturing self-sufficiency and regional development.
Adani Group’s announcements underlined the role of major infrastructure platforms and long-term private capital in shaping the next phase of India’s economic expansion, as global political and business leaders gather in Davos to discuss growth, resilience and sustainability.
