The Adani Group has unveiled plans to invest ₹20,000 crore in the establishment of a supercritical thermal power plant in Bihar, alongside expanding its operations in cement, food processing, and logistics within the state. At the Bihar Business Connect 2024 event, Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Ltd, highlighted the group’s ongoing commitment to Bihar’s development.
The conglomerate has already invested ₹850 crore across logistics, gas distribution, and agri-logistics sectors and now aims to inject an additional ₹2,300 crore to boost warehousing, handling capacity, and operations in the electric vehicle (EV), city gas distribution (CGD), and compressed biogas (CBG) domains. This is expected to create 27,000 direct and indirect jobs.
The group is also exploring the development of strategic infrastructure projects, including Gati Shakti Railway Terminals, Inland Container Depots (ICDs), and Industrial Warehousing Parks, with a potential ₹1,000 crore investment. In a move to modernize energy consumption, Adani Group will invest ₹2,100 crore to manufacture and install 28 lakh smart meters in five Bihar cities—Siwan, Gopalganj, Vaishali, Saran, and Samastipur.
This initiative will generate 4,000 local jobs and help automate electricity monitoring in these regions. Adani’s cement operations will see a phased expansion to a production capacity of 10 million tonnes annually, backed by a ₹2,500 crore investment.
“Our primary focus is on energy,” Pranav Adani stated. “We are planning to establish an ultra-supercritical thermal power plant with an investment of ₹20,000 crore, which will create 12,000 jobs during the pre-commissioning phase and around 1,500 skilled positions during the operational stage.”
This large-scale investment underlines the group’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and industrial growth in Bihar. The Adani Group is a globally diversified conglomerate with interests spanning infrastructure, energy, logistics, and agribusiness.
Renowned for its significant contributions to India’s economic growth, the group operates across sectors such as renewable energy, power generation, ports, airports, and urban infrastructure. With a commitment to sustainability, the Adani Group has made strides in green energy initiatives, including solar and wind power projects, aligning with its vision to become a leading global player in the renewable energy landscape.
