New Delhi, May 1: Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, announced on Friday that the company is set to add ₹2 lakh crore in new assets this year, driven by rapid growth across all its businesses.
Addressing the Adani Group’s 400,000 employees on International Labour Day, Adani stated, “In our first 35 years of operations, we collectively built assets worth approximately ₹2 lakh crore, and today our position is so strong that we are going to add ₹2 lakh crore in new assets this year alone.”
He emphasized the group’s commitment to contributing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making India a developed nation by 2047.
Citing various projects like Mundra and the recently completed Ganga Expressway, Adani remarked, “When we complete a project, we are not just finishing a task; we are shaping the future of our country.”
He highlighted that the Mundra project has transformed a large stretch of barren land into India’s largest port, boosting trade and connecting the country with the rest of the world. Similarly, the Vizhinjam port in Kerala is set to give India a new identity on the global maritime map and position the country as a robust freight hub.
Adani also mentioned the ongoing construction of one of the world’s largest green energy projects in Khavda, Kutch, laying the foundation for a safe and clean future for upcoming generations.
He pointed out that the Navi Mumbai International Airport has become a pride of the nation as one of the best airports globally, enhancing India’s aviation capabilities, connectivity, and creating new opportunities for millions.
Additionally, he stressed the significance of the 594-kilometer Greenfield Ganga Expressway project, inaugurated by the Prime Minister this week, which will reduce travel time from Meerut to Prayagraj from 10-11 hours to just 5-6 hours, impacting the lives of over 80 million people.
Furthermore, he shed light on the Dharavi slum redevelopment project in Mumbai, stating, “This is not just a project; it is perhaps the largest and most challenging effort in the field of human transformation.”
Gautam Adani concluded by saying, “All these projects initiated by the Adani Group represent a humble contribution to nation-building.”
