Noida, June 24 (APAC Media): The Adani Group said it invested over ₹1.5 lakh crore in capital expenditure during the financial year 2025–26 (FY26), maintaining aggressive expansion across infrastructure sectors even as it continues to face heightened regulatory and public scrutiny.
Addressing shareholders at the company’s virtual annual general meeting, Gautam Adani said the conglomerate continued its expansion across energy, transport, logistics, airports, digital infrastructure and industrial manufacturing despite global uncertainty and heightened regulatory scrutiny.
He said FY 2025–26 unfolded in a “more fractured” global environment, where energy security had returned to the centre of national strategy and technology had become closely tied to sovereignty.
Infrastructure and intelligence are no longer two stories. They are one.

“This progress did not come in calm conditions for us. It came in the middle of extraordinary scrutiny. However, we did not bend. We did not pause,” Adani said.
Among key business developments, Gautam Adani said the group’s transmission vertical secured significant projects during the year, taking the order book of Adani Energy Solutions to ₹72,000 crore.

He added that Adani Power is pursuing an expansion programme exceeding ₹2 lakh crore, with a target to scale generation capacity to 45 GW over the next five years.
Adani further said the group is exploring a partnership with Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop 5,000 MW of hydropower projects.
He also noted that the group has identified land for its planned entry into nuclear energy through Adani Atomic Energy, targeting 10 GW of capacity by 2035.
The billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani said the group’s ₹25,000-crore rights issue earlier this year served as a “referendum on our credibility”, adding that strong shareholder participation underscored confidence in the conglomerate’s long-term growth strategy.
He said the group sees India’s next phase of growth being driven by twin engines of “infrastructure” and “intelligence”, arguing that the convergence of physical assets with digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation and data analytics would define the country’s future economic competitiveness.
In the logistics vertical, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone said it handled over 500 million tonnes of cargo in FY26 while reiterating its long-term target of reaching one billion tonnes by 2030.
The company also highlighted strong performance at Vizhinjam International Seaport, which crossed one million TEUs in its first year of operations.
In aviation infrastructure, the group noted the commencement of operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport and the inauguration of a new integrated terminal at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, both of which were inaugurated by Narendra Modi.
On digital infrastructure, Gautam Adani said the group’s data centre business is on track to build a 3 GW platform by 2030.
He cited the group’s binding memorandum of understanding with Google for a gigawatt-scale data centre project in Visakhapatnam as evidence of rising demand for digital infrastructure.
The chairman also outlined expansion plans in defence and aerospace, highlighting partnerships with Leonardo and Embraer aimed at developing manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and training capabilities in India.
The Adani Group is a major Indian conglomerate headquartered in Ahmedabad.
Founded in 1988 by billionaire Gautam Adani, the group has expanded from a commodities trading business into one of India’s largest infrastructure and utilities conglomerates.
