Telangana and Adani Group Ink Transformative Partnership at WEF Davos
In a landmark move that promises to propel Telangana’s economic growth along a sustainable and inclusive path, the state government and the Adani Group signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) at the World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos, Switzerland. These MoUs, totaling over Rs 12,400 crore, mark a significant collaboration between the public and private sectors, paving the way for investments in green energy, data infrastructure, cement manufacturing, and defense technology.
A Green Push for the Future:
At the forefront of this transformative partnership is Adani Enterprises Limited’s (AEL) commitment to invest over Rs 5,000 crore in a 100 MW data center powered by renewable energy. This green data center, to be developed over the next 5-7 years, will not only cater to the burgeoning digital needs of the state but also create a blueprint for sustainable data infrastructure development. AEL’s focus on collaborating with local MSMEs and startups to build a competent supplier base further underscores the project’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth.
Pumping Up Renewable Energy:
Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) is playing its part in Telangana’s renewable energy revolution by investing over Rs 5,000 crore in setting up two pump storage projects (PSPs) – an 850 MW project at Koyabestagudem and a 500 MW project at Nacharam. These PSPs will not only add much-needed clean energy to the state’s grid but also contribute to grid stability and energy security.
Building a Robust Manufacturing Ecosystem:
Ambuja Cements, another Adani Group company, is making a significant contribution to Telangana’s industrial landscape with a planned investment of Rs 1,400 crore in a 6 MTPA cement plant. This project, to be completed within the next five years, will not only boost Ambuja’s production capacity but also create over 4,000 direct and indirect jobs, providing a much-needed impetus to the state’s economy.
Bolstering India’s Defense Prowess:
Adani Defence Systems and Technologies Limited is poised to play a pivotal role in strengthening India’s defense capabilities through its Rs 1,000 crore investment over ten years. This investment will establish a comprehensive ecosystem at the Adani Aerospace Park dedicated to the research, development, design, manufacturing, and integration of counter drone and missile systems. This initiative not only promises to create over 1,000 jobs but also significantly enhance India’s self-reliance in critical defense technologies.
A Catalyst for Progress:
The Telangana government and the Adani Group’s MoU signings at WEF Davos mark a new chapter in the state’s economic development journey. These transformative projects, spanning across green energy, data infrastructure, manufacturing, and defense technology, hold immense potential to create jobs, attract further investments, and propel Telangana’s growth along a sustainable and inclusive path.
