Adani Group Commits Rs 330.81 bn to Odisha

The Adani Group announced an investment of Rs 330.81 billion (bn) in Odisha, indicating the package will boost the state's industrial, energy and digital infrastructure. The group said the announcement forms part of a wider plan to expand its presence in the state to Rs 2,000 bn over the next ten years and to support about 200,000 new jobs. The reported figure covers projects across port, energy, cement and data centre sectors.

Most of the investment centres on a port expansion at Dhamra, where Rs 252.31 bn will be deployed to double capacity from 100 million tonnes (mn t) to 200 mn t and to create about 5,500 jobs. The group plans Rs 50.00 bn for a four million tonnes per annum LNG terminal and Rs 28.50 bn for a 10 million tonnes per annum iron ore pellet plant, together expected to add about 4,200 jobs. The projects are intended to strengthen the port as a maritime hub for eastern India.

The group is pursuing energy projects, announcing Rs 301.81 bn for a thermal power plant near Cuttack intended to bolster grid stability and to provide around 7,000 jobs. A cement plant near Cuttack valued at Rs 21.00 bn is planned to meet local infrastructure demand and to employ about 2,500 people. The projects are described as complementary parts of a broader industrial strategy for the state.

A data centre at Info Valley in Bhubaneswar has been allocated Rs 8.00 bn and is expected to create roughly 200 high-skilled roles in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital governance. The group noted that these commitments build on prior investments of about Rs 340.00 bn already made in Odisha.

Taken together, the port and associated projects are projected to generate about 9,700 direct jobs, while the broader package is expected to add employment in construction and operations. The announcement is presented as an effort to align private investment with regional industrialisation and to attract further capital to the state.
