The Adani Group is set to invest around Rs 63,000 crore in Assam for major power infrastructure, including the state’s largest private coal-fired power plant and new pumped-storage projects.
Adani Power (APL) will deploy Rs 48,000 crore to develop a 3,200 MW ultra-supercritical power plant, while Adani Green Energy (AGEL) will invest Rs 15,000 crore in two pumped-storage plants with a combined capacity of 2,700 MW. These initiatives form part of Gautam Adani’s larger Rs 50,000-crore commitment to India’s Northeast, aimed at enhancing energy security, fostering industrial growth, and generating employment.
The projects are expected to create thousands of jobs and represent the largest private-sector investment in the region. The coal-fired power plant, planned for phased commissioning starting December 2030, will incorporate advanced technology to reduce emissions, reflecting the group’s focus on sustainable energy development.
