Adani bets big on India’s AI future

Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani has said the Adani Group is moving ahead with renewed confidence, focusing on large-scale investments across infrastructure, energy and digital businesses to capitalise on the growing demand created by artificial intelligence (AI).

  In his annual letter to shareholders, Adani said the conglomerate has moved beyond recent legal challenges in the US and is now concentrating on its next phase of expansion. He described the ₹24,930 crore rights issue by Adani Enterprises as a strong vote of confidence from investors despite a period of intense scrutiny.  He highlighted investments across energy, transport, logistics, utilities and industrial manufacturing, stating that the company continued to expand even during challenging circumstances.

  "Before AI can think, energy must flow," Adani said, stressing that future technological leadership will depend on strong physical infrastructure alongside digital innovation. The group invested more than ₹1.5 lakh crore during FY26, one of its largest annual capital expenditure programmes.
