Gautam Adani
Amidst the increasing heat and fast pace of industries, the demand for electricity in the country is continuously increasing. To meet this increasing demand, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has announced a big masterplan. In the annual general meeting (AGM) of the group on Wednesday, he told that Adani Power is going to make a huge investment of more than Rs 2 lakh crore in the next five years. With this capital the company will increase its power generation capacity to 45 GW.
Big target of 45 gigawatt
At present, considering the speed with which infrastructure projects are being built and new factories are being set up, uninterrupted supply of electricity has become the biggest need. This mega expansion of Adani Power is an important step towards meeting this need. The company is continuously expanding its scope in important sectors like energy, transport and logistics. In the recently concluded financial year (FY26) alone, Adani Group has made a capital expenditure (capex) of Rs 1.5 lakh crore.
Strong preparation from hydro to nuclear energy
Along with traditional power generation, Adani Group is now working seriously on the clean energy needs of the future. Gautam Adani made it clear in his address that to secure the long-term energy future of India, he has also entered the field of nuclear energy through ‘Adani Atomic Energy’. The company has also identified land for this. In this, a big target has been set to generate 10 gigawatt nuclear power by 2035. Apart from this, an agreement has also been made to develop 5,000 MW hydro power projects in the Himalayan region in collaboration with ‘Druk Green Power Corporation’ of neighboring country Bhutan.
Record profits are giving strength to expansion
It is possible for any company to announce such a big investment only when its financial position is very strong. The recent figures of Adani Group testify to this strength. The consolidated revenue of the group reached a record level of Rs 2.92 lakh crore in the financial year 2026. During this period, the EBITDA of the company stood at Rs 94,834 crore, while the profit (after paying tax) jumped by about 13.9 percent to Rs 46,376 crore. The company also has strong cash flow of Rs 67,995 crore. It is the result of this excellent financial performance that the company is able to take the risk of investing money on such a large scale in the country’s infrastructure.
