Adani Group has played a pivotal role in India’s infrastructure development. It has capitalised on emerging opportunities in the road, metro, and rail sectors by taking on projects related to national highways, expressways, tunnels, metro-rail networks, and railways. This move aligns with the government’s push for expanding transportation infrastructure across India. By venturing into these critical sectors, the Company is naturally playing a key role in enhancing connectivity, which is in line with ongoing efforts to improve India’s transportation and urban infrastructure.

Adani for Railways

The Adani Group has established numerous railway lines both within India and internationally. In India, Adani owns the country’s longest private railway network, covering approximately 300 km. These private rail routes are strategically linked to key assets such as ports, mines, and business centers, facilitating the efficient movement of cargo. Some of the rail projects include Kutch Railway, Sarguja Rail Corridor, and Krishnapatnam Rail Company among others. The Adani Group has also expanded its presence in the travel booking and information sector through strategic investments. This includes acquiring a 30% stake in Trainman, an online train ticket booking platform. Additionally, in October 2021, the Group purchased a minority stake in Cleartrip Pvt Ltd, an online travel aggregator owned by Flipkart. These investments mark the Group’s growing footprint in the digital travel space.

Adani for Roadways

As part of its expansion, the Group on its website mentions that it is focusing on nationwide projects spearheaded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), the Ministry of Railways, Metro Corporations in various states, and other similar initiatives managed by both Central and State Authorities. The Group has secured three significant projects under the HAM model by NHAI: Bilaspur-Pathrapali in Chhattisgarh, Suryapet-Khammam, and Mancherial-Repallewada in Telangana, covering a total of approximately 650 lane kilometers.

Adani for Aviation

When Adani Group entered the civil aviation sector, the expectation from them was that they would leverage their experience in infrastructure development to enhance Indian airports.

Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), established in 2019 as a fully owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd, marked the group’s entry into the airport industry. The company won the bid to operate, manage, and develop six airports—located in Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram — securing concession agreements with the Airports Authority of India for all these locations.

In addition, AAHL holds a 73% stake in Mumbai International Airport Ltd, which also controls 74% of Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd. With a total of eight airports under its management, AAHL has become the largest airport infrastructure company in India, handling 25% of the country’s air passenger traffic and 33% of its air cargo.

Adani – Largest commercial port operator

As the largest commercial port operator in the country, Adani Group has a key role in India’s expanding trade. Their operations span across 13 ports across eight states, namely, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and West Bengal, ensuring a strong national footprint. Our port facilities are equipped with advanced cargo-handling infrastructure, designed to accommodate the largest vessels docking at Indian ports. We handle a wide range of cargo types, including dry cargo, liquid cargo, crude, and containers.

Adani’s focus on PPP projects

In its role as a developer, the Company is primarily focusing on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, utilizing models such as Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT), and Hybrid-Annuity Mode (HAM).
