“PM has taken us from a country seeking a voice on global platforms to a nation that now creates the global platforms. The Solar Alliance platform, an initiative you conceptualized, and your leadership at the G20 platform set a benchmark for a more inclusive world order. Adding the Global South to the G20 is a defining moment in modern history, said Adani.
“At the previous summit, I announced our investment of over Rs. 55,000 crore by 2025. We have already surpassed Rs. 50,000 crore across the various sectors I had promised and have vastly exceeded our target of 25,000 direct and indirect jobs”, said Adani.
Delighted with surpassing this target, he committed to further investments, unveiling ambitious plans for the Adani Group. The group is set to construct the world’s largest green energy park in Khavda, Kutch, covering 725 square kilometers and generating 30 GW of renewable energy–a project visible even from space.
