Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises, revealed this commitment during the Bihar Business Connect-2023, a global investors summit that concluded on the same day.

Addressing the audience, Adani stated, "Our group has resolved to invest Rs 87 billion in additional sectors within Bihar, a move that is poised to generate direct or indirect employment for approximately 10,000 people in the state."

This earlier investment has resulted in the creation of direct or indirect employment for 3,000 individuals. Adani expressed the group's intention to amplify its investment nearly tenfold in the state.
