Adani Enterprises, the flagship firm of the Gautam Adani-led Adani Group, has unveiled ambitious investment plans totaling ₹80,000 crore for the fiscal year 2024-25. This significant capital expenditure will be directed towards various sectors including new energy, airports, roads, PVC business, and data centers, marking a strategic move to further expand its presence and capabilities.
During an analyst call, Saurabh Shah, Deputy Chief Financial Officer of Adani Enterprises, highlighted the company’s investment focus for the upcoming fiscal year. The majority of the planned capital expenditure, approximately ₹50,000 crore, will be allocated to Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) and airport businesses. ANIL, specializing in solar modules and green hydrogen production, is set to receive substantial funding to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and drive renewable energy initiatives.
A significant portion of the investment will also be dedicated to roads, particularly for the development of the Ganga Expressway, with a planned capex of ₹12,000 crore. Additionally, Adani Enterprises will channel funds into its PVC business, earmarking around ₹10,000 crore for project development. The remaining investment will be directed towards data centers, with an allocation of approximately ₹5,000 crore.
Shah emphasized ANIL’s ambitious targets, aiming to establish factories capable of producing 10 gigawatts of solar modules and 3 gigawatts of wind turbines. Looking ahead to FY26, the company plans further investment to support its green hydrogen business and downstream products.
Adani Group has already commenced commercial production of wafer and ingots for solar cells and modules at its Gujarat factory, with plans to venture into polysilicon production by 2027-28. This strategic move aims to position Adani as India’s first integrated renewable energy player, reducing reliance on imported polysilicon.
With a vision to generate 45 gigawatts of renewable power by 2030, Adani Group is making significant strides towards sustainability and energy independence. The Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat will play a pivotal role in achieving this goal, with two-thirds of the renewable power output expected to be generated from this site.
Furthermore, Adani Enterprises is advancing its airport portfolio, with plans to commence operations at the Navi Mumbai greenfield airport by the end of FY25. This expansion is anticipated to catalyze a substantial increase in passenger traffic, further solidifying the company’s position in the aviation sector.
Overall, Adani Enterprises’ strategic investments underscore its commitment to driving growth, innovation, and sustainability across multiple sectors, positioning itself as a key player in India’s economic development journey.
