Adani Group Commits Rs 1 Lakh Crore Investment to Transform Northeast India
- Gautam Adani announced a Rs 1 lakh crore investment for Assam and the broader Northeast over the next decade.
- The new commitment doubles the Rs 50,000 crore investment announced earlier at the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit in February.
- Adani stated that the investments would not only build physical infrastructure but also focus on job creation, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.
In a landmark announcement poised to redefine the economic landscape of Northeast India, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Friday pledged a massive Rs 1 lakh crore investment in the region over the next decade. The announcement was made at the Rising Northeast Global Investors Summit in New Delhi, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Chief Ministers of Northeastern states, and a host of senior dignitaries and industrial leaders.
Adani stated that the investment would be directed towards key growth sectors including green energy, hydro and pumped storage, smart meters, power transmission, roads and highways, digital infrastructure, logistics, and human capital development through skilling and vocational training centers. “Our initiatives will go beyond infrastructure to invest in the people of the Northeast, creating jobs, boosting local entrepreneurship and ensuring community engagement”, he said.
This commitment marks a doubling of the Rs 50,000 crore investment the Group announced just three months ago during the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit in February. “Humbled and inspired by your leadership,” Adani said, addressing Prime Minister Modi, “I announce an additional Rs 50,000 crore investment across the Northeast”.
Praising the transformation of the region under PM Modi’s leadership, Adani noted that since 2014, over Rs 6.2 lakh crore has been invested in the Northeast, with the road network doubling to 16,000 km and the number of operational airports expanding from 9 to 18. He credited the Prime Minister’s 'Act East, Act Fast, Act First' vision for this turnaround, calling it a symbol of bold and visionary governance.
The Adani Group’s commitment aligns with the national development vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, reinforcing its role as a key private sector contributor to the region’s growth. “To our brothers and sisters of the Northeast, we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity and your destiny”, Adani concluded.
This massive investment is expected to significantly boost the region’s economy, improve connectivity, and uplift local communities through sustainable development and inclusive growth.
