The Adani Group is taking three foundational steps to build the organisation that will execute its vision over the next decade, including moving non-core activities to its Global Capacity Centres (GCCs) or third parties, said Chairman Gautam Adani while addressing shareholders at Adani Enterprises Ltd’s Annul General Meeting on Wednesday (June 24, 2026).
“Firstly, we are simplifying the way we work. We are putting in place a three-layer structure across both our headquarters and our sites to reduce bureaucracy, sharpen accountability and bring decisions closer to execution,” he said.
“Every role, every process and every layer must add value. Non-core activities will move either to our GCCs or to nominated partners,” he added.
Second, the Group will change the way it works with contractors.
“We see them as long-term partners in nation-building. We will build deeper, more stable partnerships where their growth is supported, their margins are protected and their interests are aligned with ours to help us deliver projects with greater speed, quality and ownership,” Mr Adani said.
Thirdly the Group is placing worker-dignity at the heart of its transformation.
“Across our own and contractor workforce of nearly 4 lakh people, almost 85% are people who work on the ground at our sites. They are the people who turn our plans into reality. And we are committed to ensuring that every worker is treated with dignity,” he emphasised.
“This means clean living conditions, hygienic food, access to medical support, safe working environments and fair wages paid on time,” he added.
Commenting on FY 25-26, he said the Group during the year made a record capital investment of more than ₹1.5 lakh crore in hard infrastructure.
“To put that in perspective, this represented over 30% of India’s total new private-sector capital expenditure for the year,” he said.
“For us, this is more than a financial number. It is a statement of belief and there can be no stronger testimony to our commitment to nation-building than the scale at which we continue to invest in the infrastructure that will power India’s next chapter,” he stated.
Stating that the theme of his address this year focuses on — Accelerating Infrastructure, Leveraging Intelligence, he said these were no longer two separate priorities.
“They are the twin global engines that must shape India’s strength, secure India’s sovereignty and accelerate India’s journey to becoming one of the defining powers of this century,” he said.
The first engine, infrastructure, is the roads, ports, airports, transmission lines, power plants, renewable parks, gas networks, logistics platforms, cement capacity, water systems and industrial ecosystems that make national growth possible, he pointed out.
The second engine, intelligence, is data centres, the use of AI, automation, predictive systems, digital platforms, real-time analytics and machine-led decision support to make every one of these assets more responsive, he stayed.
“Infrastructure gives a nation muscle. Intelligence gives a nation mastery. And, today, the two are inseparable,” Mr. Adani emphasised.
He said Adani Group is now one of the very few global companies that are “not reacting to the future but are prepared for it.”
“The fact is that we have been positioning for this day for years. We saw early that the world was entering a new era, one where geopolitical faultlines would deepen, supply chains would fragment, and energy security would return as a strategic priority,” he stated.
“We saw that the race for technological leadership and sovereignty would be constrained not by ambition, but by infrastructure,” he added.
Towards it’s long term vision the Group, he said, would enable India’s infrastructure-led growth, integrate AI with physical assets at scale, support energy security and supply chain resilience and bet on AI amplifying India’s 1.4 billion population into a growth multiplier.
He said the Group is building a data centre platform targeting 3 GW capacity by 2030. Adani Power with a capex of ₹2 lakh crore is targeting 45 GW thermal capacity by FY32. In nuclear energy via Adani Atomic Energy the Group plans 10 GW capacity by 2035.
