Infrastructure Investment Drive
VISAKHAPATNAM
The Adani Group announced a major expansion plan in Andhra Pradesh, revealing that it will invest Rs 1 lakh crore over the next ten years across key sectors such as ports, cement, energy, data centres, and advanced manufacturing. This new commitment comes in addition to the Rs 40,000 crore the Group has already invested in the state in areas like logistics, infrastructure, ports, cement, and renewable energy.
Speaking at the Andhra Pradesh Investor Summit, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) Managing Director Karan Adani shared the company’s ambitious vision for the future. He unveiled the Group’s $15-billion Vizag Tech Park project, which aims to build one of the world’s largest green-powered hyperscale data-centre ecosystems. The project is being developed in partnership with Google, marking a major step in India’s digital and technological growth.
Karan Adani said the Group’s ongoing operations in Andhra Pradesh have already generated over one lakh direct and indirect jobs, with more large-scale employment expected from upcoming projects. He praised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, calling him “an institution and the original CEO of Andhra Pradesh,” and commended Minister Nara Lokesh for encouraging efficiency, technological progress, and a startup-driven approach to governance.
He described Andhra Pradesh as more than just an investment location, calling it a “launchpad for India’s next decade of transformation.” He said the Vizag Tech Park is designed to strengthen the nation’s digital independence by using clean energy and advanced technology.
Karan Adani added that the greatest impact of these investments will be the opportunities created for local people — more jobs, improved skills, and stronger economic growth for families across the state. The Group plans to scale up its efforts in the years ahead, signaling long-term commitment to Andhra Pradesh’s development.
