Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani on Wednesday announced the conglomerate’s entry into the nuclear energy sector, unveiling plans to develop 10 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power capacity by 2035 as part of its long-term clean energy roadmap.

Speaking at the group’s annual general meeting in Ahmedabad, Adani said the venture would be spearheaded through Adani Atomic Energy and marked a significant step towards strengthening India’s future energy security.

“Our entry into nuclear energy through Adani Atomic Energy is another confident step towards securing India’s long-term energy future. With land identified and a 10 GW targeted capacity by 2035, we are positioning ourselves early to serve the growing national demand for clean, round-the-clock power,” Adani said.

The nuclear energy push forms part of a wider expansion across the group’s energy portfolio. Adani said the company is executing a ₹2 lakh crore capital expenditure programme in thermal power, with plans to increase its installed capacity to 45 GW over the next five years. The group has also partnered with Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop 5,000 MW of hydropower projects.

Highlighting the group’s investment plans, Adani said it invested more than ₹1.5 lakh crore in infrastructure during the 2025-26 financial year, accounting for over 30 per cent of India’s total private sector capital expenditure during the period.

The conglomerate is also ramping up its presence in digital infrastructure. It plans to build a 3 GW data centre platform by 2030 and has signed a binding agreement with Google to develop a large-scale data centre project in Visakhapatnam.

On the logistics front, Adani said the group’s ports business handled more than 500 million tonnes of cargo during 2025-26 and is aiming to double that figure to 1 billion tonnes by 2030. In aviation, he noted that Navi Mumbai International Airport became operational in December 2025 and is expected to eventually handle up to 90 million passengers annually.

The group reported consolidated revenue of ₹2.92 lakh crore for 2025-26, a 7.4 per cent increase compared to the previous year, while profit after tax rose 13.9 per cent to ₹46,376 crore.

Adani also announced an internal restructuring aimed at improving operational efficiency. The group will adopt a three-tier organisational structure designed to reduce bureaucracy, accelerate execution and strengthen support for its workforce of nearly four lakh employees and contract workers.

He said the group’s long-term strategy is focused on combining physical infrastructure with digital intelligence, with investments spanning energy, transport, logistics and data infrastructure to help drive India’s economic growth.
