Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani outlined an ambitious vision for India's future at the Annual General Meeting, highlighting major investments across ports, airports, energy, artificial intelligence-driven infrastructure, healthcare, defence and digital ecosystems. The conglomerate also announced expansion plans aimed at strengthening the country's long-term economic growth.
Adani said the conglomerate recorded total revenue of Rs 2.92 lakh crore in the financial year 2025-26, marking a 7.4 per cent increase from the previous year. Operating profit stood at Rs 94,834 crore, while the Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio was maintained at 3.3 times. Net profit rose by 13.9 per cent to Rs 46,376 crore.
During the financial year, the group invested more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore in infrastructure projects, accounting for over 30 per cent of India's total new private-sector capital expenditure. Gautam Adani described the investment as a reflection of the group's commitment to nation-building and the infrastructure required to support the country's next stage of growth.
The conglomerate handled more than 500 million tonnes of cargo during the year and is targeting annual cargo handling capacity of one billion tonnes by 2030. The Vizhinjam International Seaport crossed one million twenty-foot equivalent units during its first year of operations. Adani said the achievement represented the fastest pace attained by any Indian port and signaled the country's emergence on the global transshipment map.
In the aviation sector, the Adani Group inaugurated the Navi Mumbai International Airport and opened a new integrated terminal at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati. Earlier this year, both facilities were included among the World's Seven Most Beautiful Airports.
Expanding its digital infrastructure ambitions, the group is developing a three-gigawatt data centre platform by 2030 and has signed a binding agreement with Google for a gigawatt-scale data centre project in Visakhapatnam.
Adani Total Gas has provided piped natural gas connections to more than 1.1 million households across the country. Adani Power aims to increase generation capacity to 45 gigawatts over the next five years, while Adani Atomic Energy is targeting 10 gigawatts of nuclear power capacity by 2035. Adani Energy Solutions currently has power transmission projects worth Rs 72,000 crore, including the strategically important Khavda South-Olpad high-voltage direct current transmission line.
The group has also partnered with Bhutan's state-owned Druk Green Power Corporation to develop hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 5,000 megawatts. Gautam Adani announced that four new Mine Developer and Operator agreements had been signed, taking the group's mining capacity to a record 145 million tonnes annually.
Adani Cement expanded its production capacity to 110 million metric tonnes per annum over the past year. The company's cement business supplied material for several landmark projects, including the Chenab Rail Bridge, Navi Mumbai International Airport and the Umiya Dham project in Ahmedabad.
In the defence and aerospace sector, Adani said collaborations with Leonardo and Embraer would contribute to the creation of aircraft and helicopter manufacturing ecosystems in India.
On the social development front, the Adani Foundation currently reaches nearly 10 million people across 7,000 villages in 22 states through healthcare, education and skill development programmes. The group is establishing an extensive rural eye-care network in Bihar to provide affordable treatment for people suffering from vision-related ailments. It is also strengthening healthcare education through Adani University and the Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences.
Gautam Adani announced plans for Adani Health City, a major healthcare initiative featuring integrated medical campuses in Ahmedabad and Mumbai. The facilities will include 1,000-bed multi-specialty hospitals, medical colleges and research centres.
In the area of skill development, the group is currently training more than 1.25 lakh young people in rural India. Addressing employees, Adani said their discipline, courage and dedication formed the foundation behind every port, airport, transmission line, data centre, road, mine, warehouse, power plant and infrastructure project developed by the conglomerate.
The announcements made during the Annual General Meeting underscored the Adani Group's aggressive expansion strategy across infrastructure, energy, technology, logistics, healthcare and social development, reinforcing its ambition to play a central role in shaping India's economic and industrial future.
