New Delhi: The Adani Group has announced a major investment plan of ₹50,000 crore in India’s Northeast over the next ten years, targeting key sectors like green energy, infrastructure, and digital connectivity. The announcement was made by Chairman Gautam Adani during the Rising Northeast Summit held on Friday.
“In the hills and valleys of the Northeast, a new chapter in India’s growth story is being written — one of diversity, resilience, and promise,” said Mr. Adani. “The region now represents cultural pride, economic opportunity, and strategic significance. With this in mind, the Adani Group is committing to an additional ₹50,000 crore investment in the region over the next decade.”
According to Mr. Adani, the investment will span across:
• Green energy including smart meters, hydro, and pumped storage projects
• Power transmission and digital infrastructure
• Roads, highways, and logistics
• Skill development and vocational training centres
He emphasized that beyond building physical infrastructure, the Group is committed to investing in people. “Every initiative will prioritize local employment, entrepreneurship, and active community engagement,” he added.
Mr. Adani also credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Northeast’s transformation, citing his consistent push through initiatives like Act East and Act First. “With 65 personal visits, ₹6.2 lakh crore in investments since 2014, the doubling of the road network to 16,000 km, and airports increasing from 9 to 18 — this is more than policy. It reflects your leadership and belief in ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’,” he said.
Reaffirming alignment with the government’s vision, Mr. Adani pledged: “To the people of the Northeast — we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity, and your destiny.”
This announcement follows a similar investment declaration just three months ago, where the Adani Group committed another ₹50,000 crore in Assam, focusing on sectors such as airports, aero cities, gas distribution, transmission, cement, and road infrastructure.
Gautam Adani also drew parallels between Assam’s development trajectory and the success of Gujarat’s investment-driven model, crediting PM Modi’s Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit (2003) as the inspiration for states across India to adopt bold economic strategies.
