Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, announced that the conglomerate plans to invest more than US$ 75 billion over the next five years to accelerate India’s transition to renewable energy, which he calls one of the largest future growth industries worldwide. During IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s centennial celebration, Adani discussed how the green energy sector will encompass various areas such as electricity-based manufacturing, green steel, green fertilizers, hydrogen ecosystems, and critical digital infrastructure components, and will have a tremendous impact over the next several decades on the overall development of all industrialized nations. Also, Adani Group recently completed the installation of its 10 gigawatt (GW) renewable energy facility in Khavda, Gujarat (the world’s largest solar generation facility under development), covering approximately 520 square kilometers. The facility will be completed by 2030 and will generate a total of 30 GW of renewable energy, powering more than 60 million homes in India every year and setting the benchmark for the cost-effectiveness of green energy worldwide.
Adani reiterated India's need to enhance its domestic mining and minerals capability while fulfilling its strategic requirements. He pointed out the crucial importance of various minerals and geological sciences as enablers of clean technology advances and as a support for future technological developments. The minerals that are critically needed to support renewable energy, Electric Mobility, Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure, and semiconductor technology include rare earths, lithium, copper, silicon, and uranium. According to Adani, all of these AI chips, hyperscale cloud infrastructure, and digital engines are made from mineral resources extracted from the earth. Adani noted that mining has become increasingly integral to building the new digital services economy.
