Ports, AI, Nuclear Energy: Adani unveils ambitious growth plan at AGM

Gautam Adani used the Adani Group's 34th Annual General Meeting to send a clear message: the company is aiming big on India's future.

And it's not just doubling down on ports, airports and power. The group is now making major moves into nuclear energy, artificial intelligence and next-generation infrastructure.

Let's start with the money.

1. The Adani Group invested a record ₹1.5 lakh crore in FY26. According to Gautam Adani, that accounted for more than 30% of all new private-sector capital expenditure in India during the year, making it one of the country's largest investors.
2. The group announced its entry into the nuclear sector through Adani Atomic Energy and has already identified land for projects. Its goal? Build 10 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2035.
3. Adani Power is currently executing what the group describes as India's largest private-sector power expansion programme, worth more than ₹2 lakh crore. The target is ambitious: 45 GW of power generation capacity over the next five years.
4. Meanwhile, Adani Energy Solutions continued adding to its project pipeline, taking its transmission order book to ₹72,000 crore and strengthening its position in high-voltage transmission networks that move electricity across long distances.
5. Adani has partnered with Bhutan's Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop 5,000 MW of hydropower projects, expanding its presence in renewable energy and cross-border infrastructure.
6. The Adani Group reiterated plans to build a massive 3 GW data centre platform by 2030. Gautam Adani revealed that the company has signed a binding agreement with Google for a gigawatt-scale data centre in Visakhapatnam.

He also said global technology companies including Microsoft, Uber and Flipkart are already working with the group. 

The group's ambitions don't stop there. Adani Ports handled more than 500 million tonnes of cargo in FY26 and is aiming to double that to one billion tonnes by 2030.

Defence and aerospace are also becoming bigger priorities.

Adani said partnerships with Leonardo and Embraer are helping build helicopter and regional aircraft manufacturing ecosystems in India. He also highlighted the group's work in drones, anti-drone systems, missiles and ammunition.

The Adani Group plans to invest between ₹90,000 crore and ₹1 lakh crore across its airport portfolio over the next five years, according to Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Airport Holdings.

Numbers that also matter: the group's revenue rose 7.4% YoY to ₹2.92 lakh crore. Cash flow came in at nearly ₹68,000 crore.

From nuclear power and AI-ready data centres to airports, ports, defence and renewable energy, Adani is positioning itself at the centre of several of India's biggest growth themes at once.
