Adani Group Projects Aim to Power India's 2047 Vision

Varanasi, November 2: Dr. Preeti Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation, said on Monday that large-scale infrastructure projects being implemented by the Adani Group are central to addressing India's key development challenges and reaching the goal of a developed India by 2047.

Speaking at the world seminar 'Ancient Wisdom for Modern Challenges' in Varanasi, she said that a country of India's size continues to face difficulties such as poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, and delivering basic services like electricity to the furthest corners. Industry, she said, must play a meaningful role in solving them.

She said the group has taken up infrastructure work on a large scale to respond to these problems and to contribute to the national vision for 2047.

Dr. Adani drew attention to the value of India's traditional knowledge. She said businesses should place sustainability at the centre of their functioning and put duty before self-interest. She cited yoga as a clear example of how Indian knowledge traditions hold global relevance, adding that the world has recognised its message of balance between body and mind. Millets, once a part of everyday Indian food culture, have now emerged as an important global topic linked to nutrition, climate compatibility, and food security.

On sustainable development, she noted that the Adani Group has committed to investing more than 100 billion dollars in infrastructure projects linked to the energy transition.

She pointed to the renewable energy project in Khavda, Gujarat, which is progressing toward becoming the world's largest renewable energy park. The project has a proposed capacity to generate 30 gigawatts of electricity through solar and wind power.

Dr. Adani said, 'We believe sustainability should not remain only a chapter in an annual report. It must become part of behaviour and implementation.'

She concluded by stressing that industries need a long-term outlook to support India's development, social progress, and environmental balance, ensuring that economic growth brings lasting value to society and future generations.
