Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, on Friday reiterated his commitment to the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, pledging to help the nation build “mighty bridges to modern ports and more”.
In his Independence Day message on social media platform X, the industrialist shared a video highlighting the Group’s contributions towards self-reliance, stating: “Wishing all Indians a happy 79th Independence Day! On this day, let us renew our pledge to our freedom, forged by the indomitable spirit of ‘Atmanirbharta’ – the spirit to innovate, to discover, to build. From mighty bridges to modern ports, from our laboratories to our skies, may science, research and technology light India’s path. In unity and ingenuity, our nation stands unshakeable. Jai Hind!”
Last month, Adani announced that the conglomerate is gearing up for a capital expenditure of nearly $100 billion over the next five years — the largest such commitment in India’s private sector history. The investments will focus on strengthening India’s infrastructure backbone, including energy grids, logistics corridors, and industrial capacity.
Citing the transformation of Mundra port from a small salt export jetty into India’s largest multi-cargo port, Adani said this growth journey has evolved into a pan-India network of assets. The Group is now the world’s second-largest solar power company and is developing the world’s largest single-site hybrid renewable energy park of 30 GW spread over 500 sq km.
The Adani Group is also India’s largest integrated private airport operator, handling over 25% of the nation’s passengers and 38% of its air cargo, as well as India’s largest ports and logistics network with a 30% share of sea-borne cargo. It is the country’s second-largest and most efficient cement manufacturer, with interests spanning aerospace and defence, data centres, and real estate.
