The Adani Group has announced the plan to invest Rs 50,000 crore in the Northeast region over the next 10 years, targeting key sectors such as green energy, roads and highways, and digital infrastructure. The announcement was made by Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani during the 'Rising Northeast Summit' on Friday in Delhi.

"Over the past decade, in the hills and valleys of the Northeast, a new chapter in India's growth story is unfolding. A story rooted in diversity, resilience, and untapped potential. This region is now a source of our cultural pride, economic promise, and strategic direction. I announce that Adani Group will invest an additional 50,000 crore across the Northeast over the next 10 years," said Adani.

"Our focus will span green energy - including smart-meters, hydro, pumped storage, power transmission, roads and highways, digital infrastructure, logistics, as well as capacity-building through skilling and vocational training centres. But more than infrastructure, we will invest in people. Every initiative will prioritise local jobs, local entrepreneurship, and community engagement,” he added.

Talking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pivotal role in driving development in the Northeast, Adani stated, “Hon'ble Prime Minister, when you said 'Act East, Act Fast, Act First', you gave the Northeast its wake-up call. 65 personal visits, 6.2 lakh crore of investments since 2014, doubling the road network to 16,000 km, doubling the number of airports to 18 - this is not just a policy. It is your hallmark of big thinking, your belief systems, your convictions in a 'Sabka Saath, Saka Vikas'."

"Hon'ble Prime Minister, we will walk in step with your vision. To all brothers and sisters of Northeast, we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity, and your destiny," he noted.
