Adani Group, owned by Asia’s richest man Gautam Adani, will invest Rs 60,000 crore in the mineral-rich state of Odisha over the next ten years, a top executive said on Thursday. The group will commission a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal with a capacity of 5 million tonnes in the state’s Dhamra port this month, with plans to double that capacity within the next five years, according to Karan Adani, chief executive officer of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, during a speech at an investment summit in the state.
Our ongoing commitment to Odisha is demonstrated by our planned capital investment of more than Rs 60,000 Cr over the next ten years. “I expect tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs to be created,” Adani said in his speech.
