BHOPAL, Feb 24: Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, revealed on Monday plans for substantial multi-sector investments exceeding Rs 1.10 lakh crore in Madhya Pradesh, projected to generate over 1.2 lakh jobs in the state by 2030.
During his address at the MP Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025, Adani mentioned ongoing discussions with the state government regarding a greenfield smart city, an airport initiative, and a coal-gasification project, all requiring an additional investment of Rs 1,00,000 crore.
He emphasized that the Group’s endeavors in the region “are far from complete”.
“I am thrilled to announce investments surpassing Rs 1,10,000 crore across pumped storage, cement, mining, smart meters, and thermal energy. These investments will generate more than 1,20,000 jobs in Madhya Pradesh by 2030,” he stated.
Adani highlighted that these plans signify milestones in a collective journey aimed at transforming the state into a national leader in industrial and economic advancement.
“As Madhya Pradesh embraces this significant stride, the Adani Group proudly stands alongside you. We have previously invested over Rs 50,000 crore in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, and agribusiness, creating upwards of 25,000 jobs. However, our journey here is far from complete,” he remarked.
He acknowledged the transformative leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in reshaping India.
“You have converted our nation from following global trends to one that now sets them,” Adani stated, referencing initiatives like Make in India, Digital India, and Aatmanirbhar Bharat, which have propelled the country into an era of self-sufficiency and innovation.
He noted that India’s confidence has never been higher, asserting, “Our nation has never commanded greater respect on the global stage.”
According to Adani, as a country grows more self-assured, international belief in it follows suit, a resurgence propelled by the Prime Minister’s unwavering efforts.
He also commended the state’s administration for its relentless commitment to enhancing the ease of doing business and infrastructure, positioning Madhya Pradesh as one of India’s most investment-friendly states.
“The projected GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) of over Rs 15 lakh crore in FY25 reflects your pro-business perspective and dedication to growth. Leadership entails more than just constructing roads and bridges; it involves creating pathways for limitless opportunities. You are making these avenues a reality for Madhya Pradesh,” he articulated, addressing Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. (Agencies)
