The announcement was made by Mr. Karan AdaniManaging Director of Adani Ports and SEZ Limited (APSEZ), during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) held in Rajkot on Sunday.

India’s Transformation Under PM Modi’s Leadership

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Karan Adani lauded Prime Minister Modi for redefining India’s growth trajectory. “Under your leadership, India has undergone a fundamental transformation—not just in scale, but in our mindset,” Adani stated. He noted that the Prime Minister has taught the nation to view development as a “civilizational mission” rather than a series of isolated projects, shifting the focus toward long-term institution building.

Gujarat: The Living Proof of Execution

Mr. Adani highlighted Gujarat’s pivotal role in India’s economy, noting that the state currently contributes:

• over 8% of India’s GDP.

• 17% of the nation’s industrial output.

• 40% of India’s total cargo through its strategic ports.

He attributed this success to the governance model established by PM Modi during his tenure as Chief Minister, which prioritized “ease of doing business” through policy stability and faster decision-making long before it became a national standard.

Mega Projects: Mundra and Khavda

A significant portion of the newly announced Rs., 1.5 lakh crore investment will be directed towards the expansion of the Kutch region. Key highlights include:

• Khavda Renewable Energy Park: The Adani Group aims to complete the world’s largest renewable energy park with a 37 GW capacity by 2030.

• Mundra Port Expansion: Mr. Adani announced plans to double the port capacity at Mundra over the next ten years, reinforcing its status as India’s largest commercial port and a multimodal logistics gateway.

A Vision for a 5-Trillion Dollar Economy

As the global economy faces fragmentation, Mr. Adani emphasized that India remains a “bright spot,” growing at nearly 8% and moving steadily toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy.

“Every one of these investments aligns with India’s national priorities—employment generation, industrial competitiveness, and sustainability,” he concluded. “Gujarat is not just a state of investment for us; it is our foundation.”
