Mumbai, June 24 -- The Adani Group accounted for a third of all the private capital expenditure in India during the financial year ended 31 March 2026, despite macroeconomic headwinds and external scrutiny of the Ahmedabad-based conglomerate, its chairperson Gautam Adani said Wednesday. The conglomerate spent more than Rs.1.5 trillion on capital expenditure in the year ended March.

The Adani Group 'did not bend' and 'did not pause' even as it faced 'extraordinary scrutiny', the 64-year-old chairperson told shareholders Wednesday at the annual general meeting of flagship Adani Enterprises Ltd. He didn't elaborate on capex plans for the current fiscal year.

Adani, who is India's richest person, turned 64 on Wednesday.
