Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, visited key project sites in Jharkhand and Bihar to review ongoing and planned power investments exceeding ₹40,000 crore, reinforcing the group’s expanding footprint in eastern India’s energy sector.
The visit underscores the conglomerate’s focus on large-scale infrastructure development in a region that has historically seen limited industrial capital deployment, while aligning with rising power demand and long-term capacity expansion goals.
In Jharkhand, Adani reviewed operations at the 1,600 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant in Godda, developed with an investment of over ₹16,000 crore. The facility supplies electricity exclusively to Bangladesh under a long-term power supply agreement, giving the project cross-border economic significance. According to reports, the plant has created thousands of direct and indirect jobs and contributed to improvements in regional rail connectivity and logistics infrastructure. During the visit, Adani interacted with engineers, technicians, frontline workers, and tribal women from nearby communities, highlighting the company’s emphasis on local engagement.
In neighbouring Bihar, Adani assessed progress at the proposed 2,400 MW ultra-supercritical power project at Pirpainti near Bhagalpur. The project entails an investment of over ₹27,000 crore and is expected to be commissioned over the next four to five years. It is aimed at supporting Bihar’s growing industrialisation and increasing urban electricity demand. As announced earlier, Adani Power has received a 25-year long-term Letter of Award from the Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd for electricity procurement.
The review of these large-scale projects highlights the Adani Group’s strategic push into eastern India’s power sector. With substantial investments in Jharkhand and Bihar, the group is positioning itself as a key private infrastructure investor while contributing to regional development and long-term energy security.
