He dropped out of college to pursue business and now this billionaire is planning to invest 1.2 lakh crore rupees in his empire in just one year. Yes, we are talking about Gautam Adani, who is planning to invest this amount across Adani Group companies that range from ports to energy, airports, commodities, cement and media.

The investment will be made in financial year 2024-25, as the group doubles down on its ₹8 lakh crore investment guidance over the next 7-10 years. The projected capital expenditure for FY25 is 40% higher than what the group spent in FY24.

Focus on green energy
