The capital investments will be focussed on the energy and utilities and the infrastructure and logistics sectors, said Sagar Adani, executive director of Adani Green Energy Ltd and nephew of Adani Group chair Gautam Adani. Sagar Adani spoke with Mint on Wednesday in his first media interview since US authorities in November charged him along with Gautam Adani and group executive Vneet Jaain with securities fraud. He did not comment on the subject. Gautam Adani said in his recent annual address to shareholders of flagship company Adani Enterprises Ltd that the group would invest $15-20 billion ( ₹1.3-1.7 trillion) annually over the next five years. That investment figure was the base case, said Jugeshinder Singh, Adani Group’s chief financial officer, adding that under ideal circumstances the investments could be higher. Adani Group invested ₹1.26 trillion in FY25 and is looking to increase its capital expenditure this financial year, Singh said, adding that the group accounts for a fifth of the private capex in India. While the bulk of the group’s capex needs will be met through the cash it generates, the conglomerate will need additional fund infusion, including to service its debt, Singh said. The Adani Group has about ₹1.6 trillion in debt maturities between 2025-26 and 2029-30, as per an investor presentation. “We will borrow to refinance the debt that we need to pay back. (Including refinancing and capex) we’ll need roughly ₹2.5 lakh crore ( ₹2.5 trillion) in new borrowings over the next five years,” the CFO said.

We only do two things as a group—one is energy and utilities and the second is transport and logistics,” he said. “All the other things we do are around these two fundamental pillars.” For instance, in the cement sector, three-fourths of the cost are energy, raw materials, and logistics, Adani explained. Adani Group, which has become the second-largest cement maker in India by a wide margin through a string of acquisitions starting 2022, is betting on group synergies to source cheap electricity and coal and on low transportation costs to beat peers in terms of margins, Adani said. “No one can supply electricity at scale and cost better than us, and no one can handle and operate logistics in a more streamlined way that we can,” he said. The group also plans to invest in copper, aluminium and other metals in the coming years.
