Against the backdrop of global economic discussions in Davos, the Adani Group has laid out a massive long-term investment plan for Maharashtra, reinforcing its focus on infrastructure-led growth and future-ready development.
Presenting its roadmap at the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, the Group announced a proposed investment of $66 billion across key sectors in Maharashtra. These include aviation, clean energy, urban infrastructure, digital platforms, and advanced manufacturing. The conglomerate said the plan positions it as a long-term development partner for the state.
The Adani Group noted that the proposed portfolio reflects a strategic shift towards building integrated platforms aligned with India’s priorities, including energy transition, manufacturing self-reliance, and ease of doing business.
In Maharashtra, the investments are centred on large-scale urban transformation and next-generation infrastructure. A major focus area is the redevelopment of Dharavi, described as one of India’s most complex urban renewal projects. The initiative aims to transform Asia’s largest informal settlement into a planned and economically active urban district.
Another key pillar is Navi Mumbai, which the Group is backing as a major growth hub. This is anchored by the Navi Mumbai International Airport, one of India’s largest greenfield airports, which began operations on December 25. The airport is expected to significantly expand aviation capacity for the Mumbai metropolitan region and drive growth in logistics, hospitality, and commercial development.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis welcomed the investment push, saying, “We will welcome any investor, whether it is the Adani Group or others, who brings investment to Maharashtra, because without investment, jobs will not be created for our youth.”
Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises, outlined the scope of the plan and said the proposed investments would be rolled out over the next 7 to 10 years.
Additional projects include green and integrated data centre parks with a combined capacity of 3,000 MW, an integrated arena district near the airport, coal gasification facilities, pumped-storage hydropower projects totalling 8,700 MW, and proposed semiconductor and display fabrication units aligned with the government’s evolving framework for private participation.
The Group said the investment programme highlights its transition from asset creation to ecosystem development, with a strong focus on scale, integration, and sustainability. As leaders convened in Davos to discuss global growth and resilience, the Adani Group’s WEF 2026 engagements underscored its intent to align private capital with India’s broader economic ambitions.
