The Adani Group has announced an investment of more than ₹1,060 crore to establish a cement grinding unit in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district, reinforcing its larger ₹1.1 lakh crore investment commitment in the state.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Pranav Adani said the facility will be developed in two phases with a combined annual production capacity of 40 lakh metric tonnes. The first phase is scheduled to become operational by 2028.
According to the company, the project is expected to create around 1,500 direct and indirect jobs while contributing over ₹6,000 crore to the state exchequer over time.
The investment forms part of the group’s broader expansion strategy in Madhya Pradesh, spanning hydro-pumped storage, cement, mining, smart meters and thermal power. During the Global Investors Summit held in Bhopal last year, Gautam Adani stated that the group’s planned investments could generate nearly 1.2 lakh employment opportunities in the state by 2030.
Pranav Adani noted that the Guna cement project represents another step forward in fulfilling these commitments and is expected to strengthen local economic activity and employment generation.
The group also highlighted its continued expansion across Madhya Pradesh’s infrastructure and energy sectors. It has already invested over ₹4,000 crore in the Ametha and Kymor cement plants located in Katni district. Meanwhile, Adani Power currently supplies 1,200 MW of electricity to the state and plans to add an additional 5,600 MW of generation capacity.
In addition, the company said it has commissioned wind energy projects in Lahori, Dhar, Ratlam and Ujjain, while also planning a new cement plant in Ujjain. The group added that its overall cement production capacity has reached 109 MTPA and continues to grow.
The upcoming Guna facility is also expected to create new opportunities for transport operators, suppliers and small businesses in the surrounding region, according to the company.
