  • Rs 60,000 crore pledged for healthcare, education, and skill development in India.
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Adani Enterprises Ltd, held, Group Chairman Gautam Adani delivered a powerful message of resilience, commitment, and nation-building. Emphasizing the group’s steadfastness amid scrutiny and storms, Adani stated, “True leadership is not built in sunshine it is constructed in the fire of crisis”.
Addressing shareholders, Adani underlined the Group’s integrity and governance. “We live in a world where negativity often echoes louder than truth. As we cooperate with legal processes, let me restate that our governance is of global standards, and our compliance frameworks are non-negotiable”, he said.
Despite external challenges, the Adani Group has posted solid performance. At a consolidated level, Group revenues increased by 7 per cent, EBITDA rose by 8.2 per cent, and the Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained healthy at 2.6x. Total revenue stood at Rs 2,71,664 crore, with adjusted EBITDA at Rs 89,806 crore.
Looking ahead, the Group has set its sights on record-breaking capital investments. “We anticipate an annual CAPEX spend of $15-20 billion for the next five years”, said Adani, calling these investments critical to building India’s infrastructure and future.
Highlighting some of the Group’s most inspiring initiatives, Adani recalled his 60th birthday pledge three years ago, when the Adani family committed Rs 60,000 crore toward transforming healthcare, education, and skill development in India. The Adani Healthcare Temples, flagship 1,000-bed campuses in Ahmedabad and Mumbai, are key elements of this vision. Developed in partnership with the Mayo Clinic, these institutions will integrate medical colleges, research centers, and wellness facilities to deliver an AI-powered, patient-first healthcare ecosystem.
On the education front, the Group has earmarked Rs 2,000 crore for establishing a world-class skill university and finishing school in Mundra. “Through Schools of Excellence, global certifications, and partnerships with ITEES Singapore and IGCC, we aim to create an industry-ready workforce”, Adani added.
He also touched on the Group’s social efforts, particularly their role in the Maha Kumbh Mela. Collaborating with ISKCON, the Adani Group organized the Mahaprasad Seva, offering free meals to lakhs of devotees. Over 5,000 employees volunteered during the event. “At the Triveni Sangam, I had the honour of performing the sacred Ganga Aarti with my family one of the most moving days of my life”, he shared.
Concluding his speech, Adani offered a profound message: “A nation’s future is not written in policy documents it is written in the risks its entrepreneurs dare to take. We are not laying concrete. We are laying conviction highways that carry ambition, ports that ship hope, and grids that light up futures”.
He emphasized that legacy will not be defined by financial metrics, but by the courage to withstand adversity. “History should remember us not for the size of our balance sheet, but for the strength of our backbone”.
