And speaking of stories, he urged us all to carry a little gratitude and a touch of grief, it’s the perfect combo that keeps us grounded and inspired.

India’s Remarkable Growth Amid Global Uncertainty
While the world juggled wars, inflation, and enough political drama, India had its eyes firmly on the prize. The Adani Group chairman proudly spotlighted this in his recent shareholder address, noting how India didn’t just survive the chaos- it sprinted ahead of every major economy.
“This is not a coincidence. It is the result of a vision, intent, and policy,” he said.
Amid the global noise, India’s transformation roared on, powered by solid governance and bold business leadership. And who’s been riding right alongside this momentum? The Adani Group. With projects spanning energy, infrastructure, and sustainability, the group has not just kept pace—they’ve helped set it. It’s proof that when policy meets purpose, and ambition meets action, even the stormiest skies can’t hold back a rising India—or a forward-moving Adani Group.
Adani Group Stands Strong Amid Legal Challenges
Addressing recent allegations related to Adani Green Energy, the chairman emphasized the group’s commitment to integrity. “No one from the Adani group has been charged with violating the FCPA or conspiring to obstruct justice,” he clarified. He stressed that the group maintains “governance of global standards” and “non-negotiable compliance frameworks.” Despite outside pressures, the company reported record-breaking revenues and historic profits, showing resilience and transparency.
Adani Group’s Achievements Across Energy, Infrastructure, And Defense
The chairman proudly shared the group’s milestones. Adani Power surpassed 100 billion units of electricity generated and aims for 31 GW capacity by 2030. Adani Green is developing the world’s largest renewable energy park with a 50 GW target by the same year, proving that “scale and sustainability can coexist.” The group also leads in coal and iron ore production and introduced India’s first hydrogen-powered mining truck, marking major steps in innovation and infrastructure.
Growth In Adani Airports, Defense, And Digital Infrastructure
Adani Airports broke records by handling 94 million passengers and completed the first test flight at Navi Mumbai International Airport, set to open later this year with a 20 million passenger capacity initially. The airport is projected to serve 90 million passengers eventually, holding 35% of India’s airport traffic. In defense, the group’s drones and anti-drone systems played a key role during Operation Sindur, while renewable-powered data centers are being built to boost India’s digital future.
The chairman highlighted the group’s climate and social initiatives. Adani Total Gas now serves over a million PNG customers and runs 3,400 EV charging stations in 22 states, describing this as “real climate actions, not just climate talk.” The ambitious Dharavi redevelopment project aims to uplift over a million residents by transforming Asia’s largest slum into a modern township complete with schools, hospitals, and parks — a clear commitment to inclusive growth.

He said, “We are laying convictions, highways that carry ambition, ports that ship hope and grids that light futures.”
