Adani Group To Invest Rs 1 Lakh Crore In North East India Over Next 10 Years, Says Gautam Adani
Gautam Adani on Friday said the Adani Group will invest an additional Rs 50,000 crore across the North East region over the next 10 years, focusing on hydro power, road infrastructure and capacity building, bring the total investment by the group to Rs 1 lakh crore in the region.
Speaking at the Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025, Adani said the group has already invested Rs 50,000 crore in Assam. He called the region a source of cultural strength, economic opportunity, and strategic importance.
In February, Adani had announced at Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit that the group will invest Rs 50,000 crore in Assam across infrastructure projects and that the investments will span across airports, aerocity, city gas distribution, and road projects.
“A new chapter is unfolding in the hills and valleys of the North East,” Adani said, adding that the region's untapped potential could play a vital role in India's broader growth story.
"Our Focus will span smart meters, hydro, pumped storage, power transmission, roads & highways, digital infrastructure, logistics, as well as capacity-building through skilling and vocational training centres,” Adani said, adding, "More than infrastructure, we will invest in people. Every initiative will prioritise local jobs, local entrepreneurship, and community engagement.
The group's planned investment will prioritise job creation and local community engagement. Key sectors include renewable energy, transportation, and skills development.
Adani said the North East's role in India's growth was anchored in its diversity, resilience and emerging opportunities.
Reaffirming the Group's alignment with the national goal of Viksit Bharat 2047, Adani concluded saying, “To our brothers and sisters of the Northeast, we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity and your destiny.
