Speaking at the Rising Northeast Investors Summit in New Delhi on May 23, 2025, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani announced a fresh ₹50,000 crore investment commitment across the Northeastern states over the next 10 years. This comes in addition to the ₹50,000 crore investment pledged in Assam just three months ago.
Backing the ‘Act East’ Vision
Adani credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision — particularly his “Act East, Act Fast, Act First” mantra — for transforming the region. Since 2014, the Northeast has seen ₹6.2 lakh crore in investments, a doubling of road networks to 16,000 km, and an increase in the number of airports from 9 to 18. Adani highlighted these developments as a sign of inclusive growth driven by national leadership.
Focus Areas of Investment
The new investment will cover multiple sectors, including green energy, hydroelectric power, smart meters, pumped storage systems, transmission networks, roads, digital infrastructure, and logistics. The group also plans to set up skilling and vocational training centers to build local talent capacity.
People-Centric Development Approach
Adani emphasized that the group’s investments are not just about infrastructure but about empowering local communities. The initiatives will prioritize employment, entrepreneurship, and community involvement to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth in line with the government’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
A Message of Support and Partnership
Addressing the Prime Minister, state Chief Ministers, and the Minister of the Northeast, Adani reaffirmed the group’s commitment to align with national goals. He assured the people of the Northeast that the Adani Group would stand by them — supporting their aspirations, dignity, and future.
