from the chairman
“We at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity and your destiny”
At the recently held Rising Northeast Global Investors Summit, the Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani announced a INR 1 lakh crore investment commitment for Assam and the broader Northeast region over the next decade.
In a powerful move that could redefine the economic landscape of India's Northeast, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, unveiled an ambitious INR 1 lakh crore investment blueprint for Assam and the surrounding Northeast region — a decade-long commitment aimed at powering progress, connectivity and opportunity across one of the country’s most promising frontiers.
The declaration was made at the Rising Northeast Global Investors Summit, held in the national capital in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Ministers of the Northeastern states, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and a host of senior policymakers and business leaders.
The investment, Mr Adani revealed, will focus on six strategic sectors: green energy, power transmission, roads and highways, digital infrastructure, logistics and human capital development.
“Our focus will span smart meters, hydro, pumped storage, power transmission, roads and highways, digital infrastructure, logistics, and capacity building through skilling and vocational training centres,” said Mr Adani, outlining the group’s comprehensive development agenda.
This new commitment doubles the INR 50,000 crore investment announced just three months earlier at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Summit in Feb 2025, underscoring the Adani Group’s deepening commitment to the region.
“Humbled and inspired by your leadership,” Mr Adani said while addressing Prime Minister Modi, “I announce that the Adani Group will invest an additional INR 50,000 crore across the Northeast over the next 10 years.”
Transformational Development Underway
Praising the ongoing transformation in the region under the Modi government, Mr. Adani highlighted key achievements:
-
INR 6.2 lakh crore in public investment since 2014
-
Road network doubled to 16,000 km
-
Operational airports increased from 9 to 18
He credited this progress to the Prime Minister’s visionary “Act East, Act Fast, Act First” strategy, describing it as a turning point for the Northeast’s development. “This is not just policy—it is your hallmark of big thinking,” Mr Adani remarked.
People-First Approach
Beyond infrastructure, Mr Adani emphasised a strong commitment to inclusive growth, with a particular focus on employment generation, entrepreneurship and community engagement.
“More than infrastructure, we will invest in people,” he said, adding, “Every initiative will prioritise local jobs, local entrepreneurship, and active community involvement.”
Reaffirming the Group’s alignment with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, Mr Adani concluded with a message of solidarity and partnership: “To our brothers and sisters of the Northeast, we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity and your destiny.”
A Catalyst for Regional Growth
With this announcement, the Adani Group firmly positions itself as a leading private sector catalyst in the Northeast’s economic evolution. The investments are expected to unlock vast potential in energy, infrastructure and livelihoods—heralding a new era of inclusive and sustainable development for one of India’s most strategically vital and culturally rich regions.
