Davos: The Adani Group on Wednesday outlined a USD 66 billion investment blueprint for Maharashtra, spanning aviation, clean energy, urban infrastructure, digital platforms and advanced manufacturing, as it positioned itself as a long-term partner in the state’s infrastructure-led growth agenda. Presenting its plans at the 56th World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, the conglomerate said the portfolio reflects a shift towards building integrated, future-ready platforms aligned with India’s priorities on energy transition, ease of doing business and manufacturing self-reliance.
In Maharashtra, the proposed investments are anchored by large-scale urban transformation and next-generation infrastructure projects. These include the redevelopment of Dharavi - one of India’s most complex urban renewal initiatives - aimed at converting Asia’s largest informal settlement into a planned and economically vibrant district.
The group is also betting on Navi Mumbai as a major growth hub, led by the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), one of India’s largest greenfield airports, which commenced operations on December 25. The airport is expected to expand aviation capacity for the Mumbai metropolitan region while catalysing logistics, hospitality and commercial development.
