Adani Group Announces ₹630 Billion Investment in Major Assam Energy Projects
The Adani Group has unveiled plans to invest about ₹630 billion ($7.17 billion) in two large-scale energy projects in Assam, marking one of the biggest private sector commitments in the region. The investment includes approximately ₹480 billion ($5.46 billion) for a new 3.2 GW coal-fired power plant, set to become the largest privately built facility of its kind in northeast India. The plant is expected to begin commissioning in phases starting December 2030, signalling a renewed push for greenfield coal-based projects after over a decade of slowed activity.
The move comes as Adani Power, which recently emerged as the lowest bidder for a major coal power supply tender in the state, accelerates its long-term expansion strategy. In August, the company announced an additional $5 billion investment for two coal-powered plants, with a broader goal of increasing total power capacity from 18 GW to 42 GW by fiscal year 2032 through a ₹2 trillion investment plan. India, the world’s second-largest coal producer and consumer, continues to rely on coal for around 75% of its annual electricity generation.
Alongside coal expansion, Adani Green Energy is strengthening its clean energy footprint in the region with a planned ₹150 billion investment for two pumped storage projects in Assam, totaling 2,700 MW of capacity. This includes 500 MW of energy storage awarded in a recent tender. The group aims to scale its renewable portfolio from 16.7 GW to 50 GW by 2030. Additionally, the conglomerate announced plans to invest ₹1 trillion in Andhra Pradesh across multiple sectors over the next decade, reinforcing its aggressive national growth trajectory.
