Adani Group logs 7% FY25 growth, sets $20 bn capex target for 5 years
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Tuesday announced robust financials and landmark achievements across verticals during the group's Annual General Meeting for FY25. He reported a 7 per cent rise in consolidated revenues to ₹2,71,664 crore and an 8.2 per cent increase in adjusted Ebitda to ₹89,806 crore, with a healthy net debt-to-Ebitda ratio of 2.6x.
'Even in a year of turbulence, we saw record-breaking revenue, unprecedented growth, and historic profitability,' said Adani, addressing shareholders. 'Across all our sectors, we did more than just scale. We created impact, inspired change, and, most importantly, deepened our national commitment.'
Powering growth across sectors
Adani Power crossed the milestone of generating over 100 billion units of electricity — a feat unmatched by any private sector company in India. The company is on track to achieve 31 GW of capacity by 2030.
Adani Green Energy, meanwhile, is building the world's largest renewable energy park in Khavda, Gujarat, visible even from space. 'From Khavda to the world, our target of 50 GW by 2030 is proof that scale and sustainability can coexist,' Adani said. By combining thermal, renewable, and pumped hydro capacities, Adani Green aims for 100 GW by the end of the decade.
Adani Energy Solutions has secured ₹44,000 crore worth of transmission orders, while Adani New Industries is expanding solar module production to establish a 10 GW integrated facility by next year. Adani Ports handled a record 450 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in FY25, with Adani calling it 'the beating heart of India's trade.' ALSO READ |
Push for cement, greenfield airport
Adani Airports served a record 94 million passengers in FY25 and conducted a successful test flight at the upcoming Navi Mumbai Airport, expected to open later this year. Once fully operational, the airport will handle 90 million passengers annually, boosting Adani's share in India's airport traffic to 35 per cent.
In defence, Adani's drones were deployed in Operation Sindoor, while its anti-drone systems helped protect citizens and security forces. Adani Total Gas expanded its reach to one million PNG customers and installed 3,400 EV charging stations across 22 states.
Mumbai's Dharavi transformation
Calling it the group's most transformative venture, Adani spoke at length about the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, aimed at revamping Asia's largest slum. 'Over one million people will move from narrow lanes to a township that features spacious layouts, dual toilets, open spaces, schools, hospitals, transit hubs, and parks,' he said.
The project is part of the group's broader social mission. 'Exactly three years ago, on my 60th birthday, my family pledged ₹60,000 crore to redefine healthcare, education, and skill development in India,' he said. This includes setting up Adani Healthcare Temples — 1,000-bed world-class medical campuses in Ahmedabad and Mumbai, in partnership with Mayo Clinic.
The group is also building a ₹2,000 crore world-class skill university in Mundra, in collaboration with global partners like ITE Education Services Singapore and Indo German Chamber of Commerce.
Standing strong amid scrutiny
Gautam Adani also addressed the controversies surrounding Adani Green Energy, noting that despite investigations by the US Department of Justice and SEC, 'no one from the Adani Group has been charged with violating the FCPA or conspiring to obstruct justice.'
'We live in a world where negativity often echoes louder than the truth,' he said. 'But our governance is of global standards, and our compliance frameworks are non-negotiable.' He reiterated the group's resilience: 'True leadership is not built in sunshine. It is constructed in the fire of crisis.'
India at the centre of global change
Reflecting on the broader geopolitical and economic landscape, Adani said, 'Over 60 nations went to polls. Borders were redrawn, alliances tested, economies shaken. Yet India stood apart, growing faster than any major nation.'
He further credited the Indian government at both central and state levels for laying the foundation for what he called 'a truly historic transformation.'
Adani's next five year plan
Charting the road ahead, Adani revealed a bold capital expenditure plan of $15–20 billion annually over the next five years. 'These are not just investments in our group, but investments in the possibilities for doing our part to build India's infrastructure,' he said.
Closing his address with a personal note, Adani recalled his mother's words: 'History does not remember sailors who sailed in still waters – it remembers those who fought the wildest storms and yet returned home.'
'And my dear shareholders, that is exactly what we have done,' he said.

"Most Transformative Project": Gautam Adani On Dharavi Redevelopment
New Delhi: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Tuesday described the Dharavi slum redevelopment as the group's "most transformative" project, reimagining Asia's largest slum into India's most ambitious urban rehabilitation project. Speaking at the group's Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2025, Mr Adani said, "Our Dharavi Social Mission is uplifting youth through skilling, healthcare and employment programs. Over 1 million people will move from narrow lanes to a township that will feature spacious layouts, dual toilets, open spaces, schools, hospitals, transit hubs and parks." Mr Adani spoke of the group's commitment to social infrastructure, recalling a major philanthropic pledge. "Exactly three years ago, on my 60th birthday, my family pledged Rs 60,000 crore to redefine healthcare, education, and skill development in India," he said. As part of that vision, the group is establishing "Adani Healthcare Temples", 1,000-bed campuses in Ahmedabad and Mumbai offering integrated access to medical colleges, research centres, and wellness spaces. Mayo Clinic is advising the initiative to build an "AI-powered, patient-first healthcare ecosystem," Mr Adani added. The group has also committed Rs 2,000 crore to set up a world-class skill university and finish school in Mundra. "Through Schools of Excellence, global certifications and partnerships with leaders like ITEES Singapore and IGCC, we aim to create an industry-ready workforce," Mr Adani said. Dharavi, Asia's largest slum and one of Mumbai's most densely populated areas, is undergoing a major transformation aimed at significantly improving living conditions for its residents. As part of the initial phase, the government allocated 40 acres of railway land in Matunga. This land will be used to construct new housing for approximately 15,000 to 20,000 people who will be displaced during the redevelopment process. The redevelopment plan envisions the construction of multi-story residential and commercial buildings. It also includes upgrades to roads and bridges, provision of clean drinking water and sanitation facilities, and the development of social infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, colleges, and recreation centres. "I promise you that the legacy of the Adani Group will not be reflected in the height of the towers it builds, but in the height of the beliefs we execute on. That is our truth. That is our promise," Mr Adani said at the AGM.

Group's capex to cross 1 lakh crore annually: Gautam Adani
Image credits- Pinterest AHMEDABAD: The Adani Group's annual capital expenditure is set to cross the Rs 1 lakh crore mark, with Chairman Gautam Adani announcing plans to invest $15–20 billion each year over the next five years. Addressing shareholders and board members at the conglomerate's annual general meeting (AGM) on Tuesday, Adani described the Group's upcoming capex as record-breaking in scale and ambition. 'These are not just investments in our Group, but investments in the possibilities for doing our part to build India's infrastructure,' said Adani. The ports-to-power conglomerate reported consolidated revenue of Rs 2,71,664 crore for FY25, marking a 7% year-on-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 8.2% to Rs 89,806 crore, while the Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained stable at 2.6x. Amid global economic uncertainty, Adani described India's momentum as 'the result of vision, of intent, of policy', contrasting it with geopolitical volatility in other major regions including the Middle East, Europe, and the US. The Group's operating businesses, he noted, posted record-breaking performances across sectors. Adani Power crossed 100 billion units of generation, becoming the first private player to reach the milestone. Adani Green made significant progress on its mega renewable energy park in Khavda, part of its push towards a 50 GW target by 2030. With the inclusion of thermal and pumped hydro assets, the Group expects to build 100 GW of capacity within five years. Meanwhile, Adani Energy Solutions secured Rs 44,000 crore worth of transmission orders and is executing Rs 13,600 crore in smart metering projects. 'A nation's future is not written in policy documents – it is written in the risks its entrepreneurs dare to take,' said Adani. 'We are not laying concrete. We are laying conviction – highways that carry ambition, ports that ship hope, and grids that light up futures.' The industrialist also paid tribute to the Indian armed forces for their role in Operation Sindoor and expressed condolences over the tragic crash of Air India Flight 171. 'Our brave men and women in uniform stood tall. Not for fame, not for medals – but for duty,' he said. 'Their courage reminded us that peace is never free, it is earned. And that the freedom to dream, to build, and to lead stands firmly on the shoulders of those who protect.'

Operation Sindoor: Gautam Adani's BIG revelations…, anti-drone systems used against Pakistan were made by…
Billionaire Gautam Adani revealed on Tuesday that drones and anti-drone systems developed by his conglomerate were instrumental in Operation Sindoor, a precision counter-terror strike carried out by the Indian Armed Forces in response to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack. Speaking at the group's annual shareholder meeting, Adani said , 'Operation Sindoor called, and we delivered.' He highlighted that loitering munitions produced by Adani Defence executed precision strikes, while its counter-drone systems safeguarded Indian assets against retaliatory threats. 'Our drones became the eyes in the skies as well as the swords of attack, and our anti-drone systems helped protect our forces and citizens,' he said. Adani Partnership With Israel Developed in partnership with Alpha Design Technologies (26 per cent owned by Adani Defence) and Israel's Elbit Systems, the SkyStriker loitering munition or kamikaze drones can carry 5-10 kg warheads, fly silently at low altitudes up to 100 km, and precisely strike targets. 'As I have always believed – we don't operate in safe zones. We operate where it matters – where India needs us the most,' Adani said. Adani began the address to the annual general meeting by saluting the brave soldiers guarding borders. Adani On Operation Sindoor 'This year, during Operation Sindoor, our brave men and women in uniform stood tall. Not for fame, not for medals – but for duty. Their courage reminded us that: Peace is never free, it is earned. And that the freedom to dream, to build, and to lead – stands firmly on the shoulders of those who protect,' he said. India, he said, understands the value of peace. 'But if someone dares to threaten it, India also knows how to respond in their own language,' he said referring to Operation Sindoor. Adani said the world around has changed dramatically over the past 12 months. 'Over 60 nations went to the polls. Borders were redrawn, alliances tested, and economies shaken. In the Middle East, war continued to cast shadows on energy and logistics. In Europe, economic confidence stumbled. The United States had its own challenges. And yet, in the middle of all this noise, India stood apart and grew faster than any other major nation,' he said. This, he said, was not a coincidence. 'It is the result of vision. Of intent. Of policy. I say this with full conviction that the Indian Government, both at the Centre and across the states, has laid down the foundation for a truly historic transformation – a transformation not of a few, but for an entire nation whose best chapters are just beginning.' Despite global headwinds – from geopolitical instability in the Middle East to economic turbulence in the West – the Adani Group's chairman said India stood out as a beacon of growth due to visionary policymaking and bold national intent. 'India is writing history not of a few, but of a billion dreams.' In a year marked by scrutiny, including US regulatory inquiries, Adani reaffirmed the Group's adherence to global governance standards. 'No one from the Adani Group has been charged with violating the FCPA or conspiring to obstruct justice,' he said, pointing out that truth often speaks softer than negativity but carries more weight. Financially, the Group recorded Rs 2.71 lakh crore in revenue and Rs 89,806 crore in adjusted EBITDA. A healthy net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.6x was maintained, even as annual CAPEX is projected to touch USD 15-20 billion over the next five years. 'And our numbers tell their own story. Even in a year of turbulence, we saw record-breaking revenue, unprecedented growth and historic profitability. We are proof of a Group that dares to dream beyond constraints and powered by a nation that breathes possibility into every tomorrow ahead of us,' Adani said. (With Inputs From PTI)
