Adani Group’s Mega Move: ₹75 Lakh Crore Investment in Rajasthan

One of the most prominent highlights of the summit was the announcement by the Adani Group, one of India's largest business conglomerates. The group pledged a colossal ₹75 lakh crore investment for Rajasthan. Speaking at the event, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, highlighted India’s growing influence on the global stage.

"In just ten years under your vision, India has already mobilized and invested eight trillion dollars... Prime Minister, you represent hope, you represent aspiration, and today families across India feel empowered to dream and the promise of a better tomorrow feels very tangible under your leadership," said Karan Adani.

He also emphasized India’s growing stature on the world stage, saying, “The world no longer views India as an emerging power. It looks to us as a leader of the Global South.”

The Adani Group's investment will span several key sectors, such as renewable energy, infrastructure, logistics, and ports. This commitment is seen as a major step in Rajasthan's quest to become an industrial and energy hub in India.
