Adani Group Targets 10 GW Nuclear Capacity By 2035

The Adani Group plans to develop 10 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power generation capacity by 2035, the group said, positioning itself early to serve rising national demand for clean round-the-clock power. The Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Bill (SHANTI Bill), passed by Parliament in December 2025, is expected to unlock private sector participation across nuclear power generation, reactor supply and operation, fuel mining and research and development across the fuel cycle.

At Adani Power, the group is implementing the largest private sector power capital expenditure programme in India at over Rs two trillion (tn), with a target to reach 45 GW of capacity over the next five years. The group said it is establishing a three-layer structure across headquarters and sites to reduce bureaucracy, sharpen accountability and bring decisions closer to execution, moving non-core activities to global capability centres or nominated partners.

The group said it will jointly develop 5,000 megawatts (MW) of hydropower in Bhutan with Druk Green Power Corporation, reflecting a push into regional renewable partnerships. In aviation, partnerships with Leonardo and Embraer are intended to build an integrated helicopter and regional aircraft manufacturing ecosystem covering manufacturing, maintenance, repair and operations, services and pilot training. The company also noted that its drone systems and munitions supported the armed forces during Operation Sindoor.

In fiscal year 25-26 the group made a record capital investment of more than Rs one and a half trillion (tn) in hard infrastructure, representing over 30 per cent of India's new private-sector capital expenditure for the year. The Vizhinjam port in Kerala crossed one million (mn) TEUs in its first year, the fastest pace for any Indian port and a signal of India's role on the global transshipment map. The data centre business is on track for a three GW platform by 2030 and has a binding memorandum of understanding for a gigawatt-scale project with Google.
