In a massive boost to India’s green energy and logistics infrastructure, the Adani Group has committed to investing ₹1.5 lakh crore ($18 billion) in the Kutch region of Gujarat over the next few years. The announcement was made by Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd, during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference on January 11, 2026.
This strategic capital infusion is designed to transform Kutch into a global epicenter for sustainable energy and multimodal logistics, aligning with the national vision of a “Viksit Bharat 2047.”
The Two Pillars of Growth: Khavda and Mundra
The investment roadmap focuses on two “mega-projects” that will redefine the industrial landscape of Western India.
1. The Khavda Renewable Energy Park
A major portion of the funds is dedicated to the Khavda project, which is set to become the world’s largest renewable energy park.
- Capacity Goal: Commissioning the full 37 GW of solar and wind capacity by 2030.
- Scale: Spanning over 520 sq. km, the park will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 16 million homes.
- Impact: Adani described this as India’s “statement to the world” that economic growth and climate responsibility can coexist.
2. Doubling Mundra Port Capacity
Mundra, described by the group as its “Karma Bhoomi,” is already India’s largest commercial port. The new investment plan includes:
- Capacity Expansion: Doubling the port’s handling capacity within the next decade.
- Industrial Ecosystem: Strengthening the integrated complex which already houses India’s largest copper smelter, a coal-to-PVC plant, and a massive solar manufacturing hub.
Economic and Regional Transformation
The investment is expected to create tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Kutch-Saurashtra belt. By leveraging Gujarat’s 1,600 km coastline and stable policy environment, the Adani Group aims to:
- Enhance Logistics Efficiency: Reducing the cost of trade for Indian exporters.
- Bolster Energy Security: Providing round-the-clock green power to the national grid.
- Attract Downstream Industries: Building a cluster of manufacturing units around the Mundra and Khavda hubs.
“Gujarat is not just a destination for investment for the Adani Group; it is our foundation. Our growth is inseparable from the growth of the nation.” — Karan Adani

Alignment with National Priorities
The timing of the announcement, made in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlights the group’s alignment with India’s goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. As global supply chains fragment, the development of integrated “green” industrial zones in Kutch is seen as a move to position India as a resilient and sustainable manufacturing alternative to China.
