The Adani Group has received major backing from the Assam Government, securing Letters of Award (LoAs) for two large-scale energy projects that cumulatively bring in investments worth ₹63,000 crore to the state. The plan includes a 3,200 MW ultra super critical thermal power plant by Adani Power and 2,700 MW of pumped storage capacity by Adani Green Energy.
Adani Power: ₹48,000 Cr Ultra Super Critical Plant
Adani Power will develop a 3,200 MW greenfield plant under the Design, Build, Finance, Own and Operate (DBFOO) model. The company won the bid by offering the lowest tariff of ₹6.30 per kWh. The facility will be supported by coal linkage under the SHAKTI Policy of the Government of India.
The thermal project, set to begin phased commissioning from December 2030, is expected to generate 20,000–25,000 jobs during construction and sustain 3,500 positions during operations. Adani Power currently operates 18.15 GW and aims to scale to 42 GW by 2031–32.
Adani Green Energy: ₹15,000 Cr Pumped Storage Infrastructure
Adani Green Energy has received an LoA to develop two pumped storage plants (PSPs) totalling 2,700 MW, along with a 500 MW energy storage award to be serviced from these sites. The PSPs are designed to enhance grid stability, support renewable integration, and manage peak-time electricity demand.
Strategic Push for Northeast Power Infrastructure
Gautam Adani termed the combined investment a transformative step for the Northeast, calling the region a “vital frontier in India’s growth story.” The Group said the projects will strengthen energy security, accelerate industrial development, and provide a long-term economic boost to Assam and the broader northeastern corridor.
