Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has announced an ambitious investment of over USD 75 billion in the energy transition space over the next five years, marking one of the largest private commitments to clean energy globally. Speaking at the centenary celebrations of Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), he said India must define its own development path while balancing sustainability goals.
A key pillar of this strategy is the development of the world’s largest renewable energy park at Khavda in Gujarat, spread across 520 sq km. Once fully operational by 2030, the park will generate 30 GW of green energy, enough to power more than 60 million homes annually. With the first 10 GW already commissioned, Adani said the group is delivering some of the world’s lowest-cost green power.
Highlighting global climate debates, Adani pointed out that while India is the world’s third-largest electricity consumer, its per capita power usage remains under 1,400 kWh per year, far below global averages. He also stressed that India’s per capita CO₂ emissions are significantly lower than those of the US, China and Europe, and that India has contributed only 4% of cumulative global emissions over the past two centuries.
The announcement underlines Adani Group’s long-term bet on renewable energy as India works toward energy security, sustainability and economic growth.
