The Northeast region of India just received a big promise that could change the future for millions. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, announced a huge investment of ₹1 lakh crore to boost growth and opportunity across the Northeastern states over the next ten years.
The exciting announcement happened during the Rising Northeast Global Investors Summit in New Delhi. The event was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, and several Chief Ministers from the Northeast. It was a grand event full of hope and vision.
This new investment is double what the Adani Group had earlier announced in February 2025 during the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit. Back then, the group promised ₹50,000 crore. But now, Mr. Adani has raised that to ₹1 lakh crore, showing his deep commitment to the region.
This investment will focus on many areas that are important for development, including:
- Green Energy
- Power Transmission
- Roads and Highways
- Digital Infrastructure
- Logistics and Warehousing
- Skill Development and Job Training
Mr. Adani said, “We are not just building roads or power lines. We are building dreams, opportunities, and hope for the people of the Northeast.”
Gautam Adani praised how the Northeast has changed in recent years under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Since 2014, over ₹6.2 lakh crore has been invested in the region’s development. The road network has doubled—from 8,000 km to 16,000 km. The number of working airports has also gone up from 9 to 18, making travel easier than ever before.
The Prime Minister’s strong and visionary policy “Act East, Act Fast, Act First” has made this possible. Mr. Adani said this is not just a slogan but a sign of big thinking and strong will.
What makes this announcement even more special is the focus on people. Mr. Adani clearly said, “We will invest in people first.” This means local jobs, new businesses, and training centers to help the youth of the Northeast learn useful skills and find work.
This people-first idea is deeply connected to India’s national mission, Viksit Bharat 2047, which aims to make India a fully developed country by its 100th year of independence.
Mr. Adani’s closing message was full of emotion and partnership. He said, “To our brothers and sisters of the Northeast, we at Adani will stand beside your dreams, your dignity, and your destiny.”
This massive ₹1 lakh crore investment has sparked fresh hope in the region. With strong support from the government and a powerful push from private companies like Adani Group, Northeast India is on its way to becoming a shining example of growth, opportunity, and unity.
