Mumbai, July 1 -- Adani group chairman Gautam Adani told shareholders at the annual general meeting that Adani Power is implementing a capital expenditure programme of over Rs 2 trillion (Rs 2 tn) to reach 45 gigawatt (GW) of capacity over the next five years. The group said it is entering the nuclear sector through Adani Atomic Energy and is targeting 10 GW of nuclear capacity by 2035. The plans aim to meet rising demand for round-the-clock power.

Adani Energy Solutions reported that its transmission order book has expanded to Rs 720 billion (Rs 720 bn) and cited contracts including the Khavda South Olpad high voltage direct current HVDC line. The firm described this as reinforcing its position as the only private sector operator with proven HVDC capability. Expansion of transmission is being advanced alongside generation projects.

The group has partnered with Bhutan's Druk Green Power Corporation to develop 5,000 megawatt (MW) of hydro projects and said Adani Total Gas has surpassed 1.1 million (1.1 mn) piped natural gas PNG home connections. Management indicated that geopolitical developments have prompted acceleration of piped gas projects to address domestic demand.

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone handled more than 500 million tonne (500 mn t) of cargo in the financial year 2025-26 and is targeting one billion tonne by 2030. The data centre business is being built towards a 3 gigawatt (GW) platform by 2030 and the group cited a binding memorandum of understanding with Google. Mining services and cement platforms reached capacities of 145 million tonnes per annum (145 mn tpa) and 110 million tonnes per annum (110 mn tpa).

The conglomerate reported capital investment of over Rs 1.5 trillion (Rs 1.5 tn) in hard infrastructure in FY26 and recorded revenue of Rs 2.92 trillion (Rs 2.92 tn), a 7.4 per cent year-on-year increase. Net profit was reported at Rs 463.76 billion (Rs 463.76 bn), up 13.9 per cent. The group said the results reflect broad based growth across its platforms.
