The Adani Group plans to invest Rs 1.5 lakh crore in Gujarat’s Kutch region over the next five years, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the state, according to Adani Ports and SEZ Limited Managing Director Karan Adani.
Speaking at an event in Rajkot attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Karan Adani said the proposed investments reflect India’s approach to balancing economic growth with climate responsibility and energy security.
He described Gujarat as central to the Adani Group’s growth, noting that the state has been the foundation of the group’s development since its early years. He added that Chairman Gautam Adani has consistently emphasized that the group’s expansion should align closely with national development.
Building on this legacy, the group has committed to investing Rs 1.5 lakh crore in Kutch over the next five years. In addition, Adani said port capacity at Mundra will be doubled over the next decade.
Commenting on Gujarat’s governance framework, he said the state demonstrated practical ease of doing business well before it became a formal national policy objective. He pointed to efficient decision-making, strong institutions, and a supportive environment for enterprise as key contributors to sustained growth.
He also noted that these practices were later scaled nationally through cooperative and competitive federalism under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, which he said has driven a broader shift in India’s economic mindset.
Prime Minister Modi inaugurated a trade exhibition ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference in Rajkot, which is focused on promoting investment opportunities and highlighting Gujarat’s role in India’s economic development.
