The Adani Group, one of India’s largest multinational conglomerates, has a broad range of interests in a variety of sectors, including agribusiness, energy, real estate, infrastructure, logistics, natural resources, aerospace, and defense. The group was started by Gautam Adani in 1988 as a commodity trading company and has since grown to become a major player in a number of important industries, contributing significantly to India’s infrastructure and economic development.
The Adani Group’s chairman, Gautam Adani, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the company would spend $10 billion on infrastructure and energy projects in the US. He congratulated Donald Trump, the newly elected US president, as well.
‘Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump,’ he wrote. “As India and the United States strengthen their partnership, the Adani Group is committed to leveraging its global experience to invest $10 billion in US energy security and resilient infrastructure projects, with the aim of creating up to 15,000 jobs.” Gautam Adani did not, however, provide any other details, such as the projects’ duration or scope, aside from their value.
Concurrent with the announcement, the American Petroleum Institute (API), a trade association for the US oil and gas sector, has called on Donald Trump to halt several of Joe Biden’s policies that they claim have put jobs and energy security at risk. In contrast, Trump’s victory speech featured the slogan “Drill, baby, drill” to highlight his position on the oil industry and his pledge to further boost production.
The Adani Group plans to install 10 GW of hydroelectric projects overseas in the upcoming years, according to a Reuters report. The report also said that the group is looking to build these kinds of projects in Nepal, Bhutan, Kenya, Tanzania, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Gautam Adani also hosted four visiting ambassadors from Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, and Belgium. He showed them the group’s renewable energy operations in Gujarat in detail.EdgeConneX, a global data center operator with headquarters in the United States, has also partnered with Adani Enterprises to build hyperscale data centers in India.
