“Three months ago, in Assam, we pledged an investment of ₹50,000 crore. Today, once again, humbled and inspired by your leadership, I announce that the Adani Group will invest an additional ₹50,000 crore across the northeast over the next 10 years,” said Adani.

Adani said the conglomerate’s focus will span green energy — including smart-meters, hydro, pumped storage, power transmission, roads & highways, digital infrastructure, logistics, as well as capacity-building through skilling and vocational training centres.

“But more than infrastructure, we will invest in people. Every initiative will prioritise local jobs, local entrepreneurship, and community engagement,” said Adani.

Adani lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Act East, Act Fast, Act First” policy with respect to the northeast.

“Over the past decade, in the hills and valleys of the Northeast, a new chapter in India’s growth story is unfolding. A story rooted in diversity, resilience, and untapped potential. This region is now a source of our cultural pride, economic promise, and strategic direction. And behind this rise is the vision of one leader who recognised no borders, only beginnings. Prime Minister, when you said, “Act East, Act Fast, Act First,” you gave the Northeast its wake-up call,” said Adani.

“Sixty-five personal visits. ₹6.2 lakh crore of investment since 2014. Doubling the road network to 16,000 kms. Doubling the number of airports to 18,” said Adani on PM Modi’s achievements in the northeast.

“This is what Viksit Bharat 2047 is all about. Prime Minister, we will walk — in step with your vision. Chief Ministers, we will hold hands with your people. Minister of Northeast, we will echo your mission,” said Adani.

Earlier this year, Adani pledged to invest ₹50,000 crore in Assam over the next five years, focusing on clean energy and infrastructure development, including road construction projects.
