Nagpur, February 6: Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Defense and Aerospace, stated on Friday that Vidarbha plays a crucial role in India’s energy narrative. He emphasized that the Adani Group’s presence in the region extends beyond mere transactions; it is designed to last for generations.
Speaking at the ‘Advantage Vidarbha 2026′ event, Jeet Adani highlighted the group’s commitment to building energy security, creating high-quality jobs, empowering communities, and strengthening India’s economic foundation.
In his address, he noted that Adani Airports aligns with three national priorities: enabling a clean and reliable energy future for India, developing an integrated industrial and logistics ecosystem, and fostering inclusive growth for communities and youth.
He elaborated on the group’s operations in Tiroda, where they manage Maharashtra’s largest and most advanced 3,300 MW supercritical power plant, built to meet the highest global standards of efficiency and environmental responsibility. In 2025, they revitalized the 600 MW Butibori power plant, showcasing their commitment to resolving stressed assets and enhancing India’s power infrastructure.
Jeet Adani further mentioned that through a 25-year supply agreement, they are now ensuring a reliable supply of 6,600 MW of power for Maharashtra, combining solar production from Khawda with robust thermal baseload supply. This serves as the backbone supporting Maharashtra’s industries, cities, and digital economy.
Among their transformative commitments is a ₹70,000 crore integrated coal gasification and downstream derivatives complex in Kalmeshwar, which will create 30,000 direct jobs, enhance advanced chemical manufacturing capabilities, and promote energy self-sufficiency for critical industries, firmly placing Nagpur on the global map for clean energy technologies.
In the aviation and defense sector, the acquisition of Indamer Techniques Private Limited has expanded their 30-acre MRO complex in MIHAN. With 15 aircraft bays, FAA and DGCA certifications, and integration with Air Works’ global network, Nagpur is rapidly emerging as an international hub for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul.
The Adani Foundation is supporting primary healthcare, education, and women’s empowerment through 43 self-help groups, the Fortune Suposhan nutrition program, and initiatives in solar lighting, clean water, sports, and school development in Gondia and Nagpur.
Jeet Adani concluded by stating, “I see Vidarbha not just as a region of Maharashtra, but as a key area that will help define India’s growth story in the coming decades.”
