Gautam Adani, the Chairman of Adani Group, unveiled plans to invest over Rs 1.10 lakh crore in various sectors in Madhya Pradesh on Monday (24 February). He stated that these investments are projected to generate more than 1.2 lakh employment opportunities in the state by the year 2030.

Speaking at the Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025, Adani revealed that the Adani Group is in talks with the state government about a greenfield smart city, an airport project, and a coal-gasification project, The Hindu reported.

These projects would require an additional investment of Rs 1 lakh crore. He emphasised that the Group's involvement in the state is far from complete.

Meanwhile, Rs 1.1 lakh crore investments in the areas of pumped storage, cement, mining, smart-meters and thermal energy were announced. "These multi-sectoral investments will create more than 1.2 lakh jobs in Madhya Pradesh by 2030," Adani was quoted as saying by The Hindu.

The Chairman expressed that the strategies are not merely about financial commitments, but rather they represent significant steps in a common path. This path is aimed at transforming the state into a national frontrunner in terms of industrial and economic expansion.


Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Adani said that India has been reshaped forever under his leadership as the country has "transformed from a nation that once followed global trends to one that now defines them.

Citing initiatives such as Make in India, Digital India, and Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Adani asserted that they have “propelled the economy into an era of self-reliance and innovation.”

He stated that India's self-assurance has never been stronger, and our country has never garnered such significant global respect. He continued by expressing that when a nation has faith in itself, the rest of the world follows suit.

Adani went on to state that the unwavering focus of the state's administration on simplifying business operations and infrastructure enhancement has positioned Madhya Pradesh as one of India's states most prepared for investment.

"The projected GSDP (Gross State Gomestic Product) of more than Rs 15 lakh crore in FY25 is a testament to your pro-business vision and commitment to growth. Leadership is not just about building roads and bridges — it is about paving the way for endless possibilities. And you are creating these for Madhya Pradesh," he said addressing Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
