Adani Group has said it will invest ₹1.5 lakh crore in Gujarat’s Kutch region over the next five years, underlining its focus on ports, renewable energy and industrial infrastructure in the state. The announcement was made by Karan Adani, MD of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference, where the group outlined timelines rather than broad intent. So what exactly is being built, and why is Kutch central to this plan?
What Is Adani Planning To Build In Kutch?
The investment plan is anchored around two large projects. The first is the Khavda renewable energy park, where Adani plans to commission the full 37 GW capacity by 2030. Once completed, this will be one of the largest renewable energy projects in the world.
Karan Adani said Khavda is not just about adding power capacity. At this scale, the project is expected to support industrial demand, improve energy availability, and strengthen India’s clean energy push. The long development timeline also suggests the group is building for sustained demand rather than short-term gains.
The second pillar is logistics. Adani plans to double the capacity of Mundra Port over the next decade. Mundra is already one of India’s largest commercial ports and a key gateway for both imports and exports. Expanding capacity is aimed at preparing for higher cargo volumes as trade and manufacturing activity increase.
Together, renewable energy at Khavda and port-led logistics at Mundra account for a large part of the ₹1.5 lakh crore commitment, with execution spread over the next decade.
Why Does Mundra Remain So Important For Adani?
Mundra is often referred to as “karma bhoomi” within the Adani organisation, and this is due to scale. Over time, the port has evolved into an integrated industrial and logistics platform rather than an isolated asset.
It has the country’s largest copper smelter plant, a coal-to-PVC complex, and an emerging solar manufacturing sector. The presence of such facilities around a major seaport cuts the cost of transportation and boosts the efficiency of the transportation of such commodities to a significant extent.
A doubling of Mundra’s capacity, therefore, is not only about handling an increased number of ships. It would enhance industrial development around the port, and as more industries begin to relocate to India, a bigger port with efficient capacity would handle a larger share of exports.
Mundra is also significant for Adani as it connects Adani's ports, energy, and industrial divisions together as an integral part of Adani's strategy.
How Does This Fit Into India’s Growth Plans?
The announcement comes at a time when the global economy remains uncertain, but India continues to grow at close to 8%. Karan Adani said the group’s investments align with national priorities such as job creation, industrial competitiveness, and sustainability.
He also highlighted Gujarat’s role as one of India’s most industrialised states, with a large share in GDP, industrial output, and port cargo handling. Within the state, Kutch has seen a steady transformation from a remote region into a strategic hub for energy, logistics, and heavy industry.
The group reiterated that Gujarat remains the foundation of its growth, reflecting Chairman Gautam Adani’s long-held view that the company’s expansion is closely linked to India’s economic rise. As India moves towards its Viksit Bharat 2047 goal, the real test of this ₹1.5 lakh crore plan will be timely execution and capacity delivery.
