Adani Group is now going to play a big bet in India’s defense sector. The company has planned to invest ₹1.8 lakh crore by 2026, in which the focus will be on future warfare. Drones, autonomous systems, AI and precision weapons will be the core of this strategy.

Adani Defense & Aerospace has now moved beyond planning to rapid deployment mode in 2025 and some military hardware was also used in Operation Sindoor.

The company is working on unmanned systems (air, sea, land), advanced guided weapons, sensors, AI-based multi-domain operations, MRO and training infrastructure. Adani Defense has become the country’s largest private defense player with Drishti UAVs, counter-drone systems, Agnikaa loitering munitions and ARKA MANPADS.

At the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025, Karan Adani, CEO, Adani Ports & SEZ Limited, gave detailed information on the growing activities of the Adani Group in Telangana, ongoing projects and the impact of the state government policies. The event organized in Hyderabad was attended by state Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and many industry leaders and stalwarts.

Karan Adani started his address by praising the working system of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He said that Telangana today is one of those states where administrative decisions are taken with utmost speed and transparency. He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy ji, the state is working with a clear vision and purpose, which is rarely seen in Indian politics. According to him, this is the reason why the industry feels confident about long-term investment in Telangana.

Praise for better governance model for industries

Karan Adani said that the Telangana government has created a business environment which is very favorable for big industries by emphasizing on fast clearance system, clear rules and long-term economic planning. He said that transparency, quick decision-making and long-term economic planning – these three things give maximum strength to those industries which want to invest on a large scale. He also said that the state’s stability and clear policy framework gives businesses the opportunity to move forward with bigger goals.

In his address, he especially drew attention to the Defense and Aerospace Center of Adani Group based in Hyderabad. This is India’s first long-endurance UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) manufacturing centre. From here, state-of-the-art drones are manufactured for the Indian Armed Forces, and are also supplied to many international customers. He informed that – This facility has been established in accordance with the National Self-Reliance Mission (Atmanirbhar Bharat). More than 1,500 people are directly employed here, and a large number of indirect jobs are being generated in the supply chain. This center makes India’s defense manufacturing capability globally competitive.

A giant leap in digital infrastructure—green data centers

Karan Adani also described the Rs 2,500 crore green data center being developed by the group in Telangana as a major project. This will be a high-performance data center with 48 MW capacity. State-of-the-art infrastructure is being created for AI, cloud services and heavy digital workloads. This center will strengthen the country’s digital security, data capacity and technical preparedness.

Karan Adani said that the group has also emphasized on strengthening the road and logistics network of Telangana in the last few years. More than 100 kilometers of road network has been constructed in various districts—Mancherial, Suryapet, Kodad and Khammam—with an investment of approximately Rs 4,000 crore. According to him, the movement of goods through these road corridors has increased. Transportation costs have decreased. Business and industries are getting direct benefits.

Expansion in cement production capacity

In view of the boom in construction activities in Telangana, Adani Cement has also increased its capacity in the state. Units have been established in Ganeshpahar, Tandur and Devapur. Total production capacity is 7 MTPA. An investment of more than Rs 2,000 crore has been made. These plants are continuously providing support to the infrastructure development of the state as per the need.

Adani Group has invested around Rs 10,000 crore in Telangana in the last three years. More than 7,000 direct and indirect jobs have been created. These investments include diverse sectors like defence, digital infrastructure, logistics, road development, and cement manufacturing. At the end of the speech, Karan Adani thanked the state government for its continuous support. He said that Adani Group is ready to pursue more projects in Telangana. However, his entire speech mainly focused on the expansion of ongoing projects and he did not make any new major announcements.

Have you thought that we should get world-class pilot training in India itself, that too on advanced simulators, and we can see our own airlines on global standards? Now this dream seems to be coming true. Adani Group and Prime Aero Services are together taking majority stake worth around ₹820 crore in Flight Simulation Technique Center (FSTC) — this deal can strengthen India’s aviation strength manifold. FSTC is India’s largest independent flight-training and simulation company, with 11 advanced full-flight simulators, 17 training aircraft, both DGCA and EASA international certifications, and high-tech centers — simulation centers in Gurugram and Hyderabad, as well as two large flying schools in Bhiwani and Narnaul. Adani aims to build a fully integrated aviation service platform: civil aircraft maintenance, general aviation MRO, defense MRO, and now pilot training — all under one roof. This step can take India’s defense and commercial aviation sector to a new level. In the coming years, when airlines can bring 1500+ new aircraft, the demand for pilots will increase, training infrastructure will be strengthened, and advanced military simulation, mission rehearsals will be possible in the defense sector. If you think that this is not just a business deal but a GAME-CHANGER in the direction of preparing India’s next generation defense and commercial pilots.

Gautam Adani on Indology Mission: Taking a big step towards giving global recognition to the Indian knowledge tradition, Gautam Adani has announced to give Rs 100 crore for the development of ‘India Knowledge Graph’. This announcement was made at the first Adani Global Indology Conclave held in Ahmedabad with the aim of preserving, organizing and modernizing Indian civilizational knowledge. This program was jointly organized by Adani Group and Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) of the Ministry of Education.

Big announcement on Indology Mission

Adani said that this contribution is a payment of debt towards the great civilization of India. The India Knowledge Graph aims to compile India’s historical contributions to astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, governance, linguistics and other fields into a modern digital framework that will be optimized for artificial intelligence.

Scholars, technical experts, policy-makers and spiritual leaders attending the conference described this initiative as an important step towards making India a ‘Vishwa Guru’. Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati said that Gautam Adani’s initiative takes forward his dream that India should play its role as a global teacher.

Big step towards becoming a world leader

Adani also warned that if a civilization does not protect its cultural structures in the digital age, then future generations may be influenced by the cold rationality of the algorithms of machines and move away from their cultural and historical identity.

Under this mission, Adani Group and IKS have decided to support 14 PhD researchers from IITs, IIMs and leading universities for five years. The areas of study of these researchers include Panini grammar, computational linguistics, ancient astronomy, indigenous health systems, sustainability principles embedded in traditional engineering, political thought and classical literature.

The aim is to make India’s civilizational knowledge wealth more accessible, reliable and future-oriented through modern research methods—such as data science, systems thinking and multimodal archiving.

JP Power Share: Amazing rise is being seen in the shares of Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power) today. In intraday trading, the shares jumped by 9 percent and were seen trading at the level of Rs 18.63. There is a reason behind this rise in shares today.

Why did Power Share become Rocket?

In fact, there are reports that Adani Group may defeat mining sector major Vedanta in the race to buy bankrupt infrastructure company Jaiprakash Associates (JAL). In the same sequence, small-cap share JP Power’s share on National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE rose by 9.12 percent to reach the day’s high of Rs 19.25.

Bankrupt Jaiprakash Associates has about 24 percent stake in JP Power. In such a situation, the market is hopeful that if Adani Group wins the bidding race, then it will bring profit to JP Power’s business in the market.

How did Adani defeat Vedanta?

First of all, when the auction was held in September to find a buyer for debt-ridden JP Associates, Vedanta was at the forefront of the race by bidding Rs 17,000 crore. Vedanta proposed to pay it in five years, whereas Adani Enterprises Limited, although bid Rs 12500 crore, has proposed to pay in two years. Perhaps it is believed that the company will ultimately fall into Adani’s lap because the Committee of Creditors (CoC) of JAL is considering Adani Group’s proposal to be better than Vedanta Group’s proposal. JAL’s business is spread across many big sectors like real estate, cement, power, hotels and roads.

Jaypee Infra MD arrested

Recently, Manoj Gaur, Managing Director of JP Infratech Limited, another company of Jaypee Group, has been arrested by ED in a case related to money laundering. ED alleges that Jaiprakash Associates, through Manoj Gaur, has committed a fraud of Rs 12,000 crore and embezzled the money of home buyers.

With this strategic initiative, Adani Group now joins the ranks of global energy companies that are investing in large-scale storage infrastructure. This step is being considered an important and transformative milestone in India’s clean energy journey. Ahmedabad-based Adani Group operates diverse businesses in the energy, logistics, metals and consumer sectors. Also, it is pursuing its development in line with India’s Net-Zero and sustainability goals.
