Indian infrastructure giant Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, has formally committed to investing up to US $10 billion in Vietnam over the next decade, focusing on seaports, logistics, renewable energy, airports, and AI-enabled infrastructure. The announcement followed a high-level meeting with Vietnamese Communist Party General Secretary Tô Lâm in Hanoi on July 30, 2025
Comprehensive Infrastructure Strategy
Adani’s vision includes:
- A major investment of roughly US $2 billion for the Lien Chieu Port in Da Nang, aiming to develop a container terminal and general cargo berths with deep-water capabilities
- Exploration of further investment opportunities in Chu Lai Airport, Long Thanh Airport, inland waterways, and power transmission networks
- Investment in renewable energy, including wind farms, solar power projects, and studies into AI-based green infrastructure systems
The initiative aligns with Vietnam’s national development strategy focused on infrastructure, innovation, and sustainable growth
Why It Matters: Strategic and Economic Implications
Transformative Engagement
The US $10 billion pledges represent one of the largest-ever Indian investments in Vietnam. It illustrates a deeper, long-term strategic partnership in critical sectors like logistics, energy, and digital infrastructure
Regional Influence in Southeast Asia
Adani Ports and SEZs is already recruiting in Vietnam. Expanding in Da Nang could strengthen its global port portfolio—alongside Haifa, Colombo, and Dar es Salaam—and double Vietnam’s share in its international operations by 2030
Energy Expansion and Sustainability
With Vietnam’s push to scale solar and wind capacity to over 56 GW by 2030, Adani Green Energy is well-positioned to contribute—with a wider footprint in hydroelectric and clean power projects under consideration
