Gautam Adani emphasises infrastructure's vital role in shaping India's future

Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, highlighted the crucial role of infrastructure in India's economy during the CRISIL-organised event "Infrastructure - Inspiration for India's Future" on Wednesday. First, almost every foreign visitor that I meet these days talks about the extraordinary infrastructure growth they see in India be it the quality of the multi-lane highways, the massive construction projects all over the country, access to ports across the nation’s coastline, the rapid penetration of green energy, a world class and modern transmission grid, dedicated freight corridors, the quality and access to airports across the country, several new metro rail networks, and the massive trans-sea links. In terms of numbers, our estimates show that by the end of FY32 the year India has targeted to become a 10 trillion-dollar economy the cumulative spend on infrastructure will exceed 2.5 trillion dollars. • India’s largest integrated energy player spanning across generation, transmission & distribution, LNG and LPG terminals, and city gas & piped gas distribution. • Artificial Intelligence labs, to capitalize on India’s fast emerging expertise to provide AI services to the world, and • Data Centres that will form the backbone of the energy intensive digital revolution.
