In a significant move aimed at boosting Chhattisgarh’s economic landscape, industrialist Gautam Adani met with the state’s Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday to announce a ₹65,000 crore investment in various Adani Group projects. This includes major expansions in the energy and cement sectors, along with social welfare initiatives in education, healthcare, and tourism.
Adani’s meeting with Chief Minister Sai at his official residence in Raipur set the stage for a series of ambitious projects that are expected to drive growth in the state. A key part of the announcement was the ₹60,000 crore investment intended to expand Adani Group’s power plants across Raipur, Korba, and Raigarh. This expansion will increase Chhattisgarh’s total power generation capacity by an additional 6,120 MW, contributing to the state’s growing energy demand and supporting its industrial growth.
In addition to the energy sector, Adani also unveiled plans to invest ₹5,000 crore in the development and expansion of the group’s cement plants within Chhattisgarh, further enhancing the state’s industrial capabilities.
Beyond these investments, Adani expressed his commitment to Chhattisgarh’s social welfare initiatives. On the advice of CM Sai, the Adani Group has pledged ₹10,000 crore over the next four years. This funding will focus on supporting key sectors such as education, healthcare, skill development, and tourism. These initiatives aim to uplift local communities and improve the quality of life for residents across the state.
During the meeting, both Adani and Chief Minister Sai also discussed potential collaborations in the manufacturing of defense-related equipment. There are plans to explore the establishment of data centers and a Global Capability Centre in Chhattisgarh, aimed at furthering the state’s economic development and technological advancements.
This substantial investment from the Adani Group is expected to bring job opportunities, infrastructure development, and overall economic growth to Chhattisgarh, marking a new chapter in the state’s industrial journey.
