Mumbai, June 24: Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, announced on Wednesday that the fiscal year 2026 marked another year of disciplined growth and robust execution for the group. During this period, the consolidated portfolio income increased by 7.4% year-on-year, reaching ₹2.92 lakh crore.
Addressing shareholders at the group’s 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Adani stated that they are now among the select global companies that are not just responding to future demands but are fully prepared for them.
The billionaire businessman highlighted that the order book for Adani Energy Solutions has surged to ₹72,000 crore. The group has secured several major projects, including the Khavda South Olpad HVDC line, reinforcing its position as the only private sector company in India to prove HVDC capacity.
Adani further revealed that Adani Power is implementing India’s largest private sector power capex program, exceeding ₹2 lakh crore. The goal is to achieve 45 gigawatts of capacity over the next five years. He expressed pride in partnering with the Government of Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop 5,000 megawatts of hydropower projects in Bhutan.
The group’s entry into nuclear energy through Adani Atomic Energy is another significant step toward securing India’s long-term energy future.
Gautam Adani emphasized, “With land identification and a target of 10 gigawatts by 2035, we are preparing ourselves to meet the growing national demand for clean and round-the-clock electricity.”
He also mentioned that Adani Total Gas has crossed a significant milestone by providing piped natural gas (PNG) connections to over 1.1 million homes. In light of current geopolitical conditions, the group is ramping up its PNG projects to meet the increasing domestic demand for readily available gas. In terms of connectivity and logistics, Adani Ports handled over 500 million tons of cargo in FY 2025-26, setting an unparalleled benchmark for the country and paving the way to reach one billion tons by 2030.
The Chairman noted that the integrated network of ports, SEZs, logistics assets, and expanding maritime services positions them uniquely to increase market share while reducing the cost and complexity of trade in India.
Gautam Adani proudly stated, “I am pleased to announce that one of the most crucial ports on the global maritime route, Vizhinjam, has already set a record by surpassing one million TEUs in its first year. This is the fastest pace achieved by any Indian port and a strong indication of India’s emergence on the global transshipment map.”
In the aviation sector, the group achieved two significant milestones by opening new integrated terminal buildings at Navi Mumbai International Airport and Guwahati Airport, both inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He added, “Earlier this year, both airports were included in the list of the world’s seven most beautiful airports. The commencement of operations in Navi Mumbai in December 2025 was a proud moment for India’s aviation sector, as this airport was built in just over four years, with a capacity for 90 million passengers.”
In the digital and industrial infrastructure sector, the group’s data center business is rapidly advancing towards creating a 3-gigawatt platform by 2030.
The Chairman remarked, “The MoU with Google for a gigawatt-scale data center in Visakhapatnam showcases both the future scale of digital demand and the trust placed in us by global technology companies like Google, Microsoft, Uber, and Flipkart.”
Gautam Adani further stated, “In Adani Cement, we have contributed to significant national projects, from the Chenab Railway Bridge to Navi Mumbai International Airport and the Umiya Dham Foundation in Ahmedabad. Last year, our cement platform expanded significantly, with total capacity increasing to 110 MMTPA.”
He concluded by saying that the goals in the defense and aerospace sectors have become even more ambitious.
Gautam Adani noted, “Our partnership with Leonardo and Embraer is helping to establish an integrated helicopter and regional aircraft manufacturing ecosystem in India. We are building a national aerospace platform that includes manufacturing, MRO, service, and pilot training.”
