Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani announced on Monday that the Adani Group will invest ₹2.1 lakh crore in Madhya Pradesh, generating over 1.2 lakh jobs by 2030. The investments will span multiple sectors, including pumped storage, cement, mining, smart meters, and thermal energy.
Speaking at the Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit in Bhopal, Adani also revealed that discussions are underway for additional projects, including a greenfield smart city, an airport, and a coal gasification plant, which would further boost investments in the state.
“These are not just investments; they are milestones in a shared journey—one that will make Madhya Pradesh a national leader in industrial and economic growth. They reflect our deep confidence in the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister and our unwavering commitment to this state’s extraordinary rise,” Adani said.
Existing and Future Investments
The Adani Group has already invested ₹50,000 crore in Madhya Pradesh across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and logistics, creating over 25,000 jobs. However, Adani emphasized that this was only the beginning of their expansion plans in the state.
“But our journey here is far from over,” he stated.
The ₹2.1 lakh crore investment is expected to significantly boost employment and infrastructure in Madhya Pradesh, strengthening its position as a major industrial hub in India.
Praise for Leadership
Adani lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated the summit earlier in the day, crediting his leadership for reshaping India’s global image.
“Never before has India’s confidence been higher. Never has our nation commanded greater respect on the global stage. When a country believes in itself, the world too believes in it,” he remarked.
He also praised Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, highlighting his administration’s efforts to enhance the ease of doing business, making the state one of India’s most investment-friendly destinations.
