Adani Group to invest ₹20,000 Cr in Bihar’s power, cement, and infrastructure projects, creating 50,000 jobs

Adani Group is set to invest ₹20,000 crore in Bihar, focusing on key sectors such as energy, cement, logistics, and infrastructure. A significant portion of the investment, ₹20,000 crore, will go towards the establishment of an ultra-supercritical thermal power plant. This power project is expected to generate at least 12,000 jobs during its pre-commissioning phase, with an additional 1,500 skilled jobs during its operational phase. The plant will contribute to improving Bihar's energy infrastructure, a critical step in the state’s industrialization.

Alongside the power plant, Adani Group plans to expand its cement manufacturing capacity with an investment of ₹2,500 crore. This will boost the group’s cement production in Bihar to 10 million tonnes per annum. The first phase of this expansion will involve a Greenfield cement plant at Warisaliganj, which was inaugurated in July 2024. The cement expansion will create 9,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, with more phases planned to further increase the capacity.

The group also aims to strengthen its presence in the logistics, gas distribution, and agri-logistics sectors in Bihar, with a ₹2,300 crore investment. This investment will enhance warehousing and handling capacities, while expanding Adani's footprint in the electric vehicle (EV), city gas distribution (CGD), and compressed biogas (CBG) markets. The investment will generate an additional 27,000 direct and indirect jobs in these sectors, further boosting local employment opportunities.

In the energy sector, Adani Group is investing ₹2,100 crore in smart meter manufacturing and installation. The initiative will see the installation of over 28 lakh smart meters across five cities—Siwan, Gopalganj, Vaishali, Saran, and Samastipur—automating power consumption monitoring. This project is expected to create approximately 4,000 local jobs and improve electricity management across these cities, contributing to more efficient power distribution and consumption.

The group is also focusing on infrastructure development with a ₹1,000 crore investment in strategic projects like Gati Shakti Railway Terminals, Inland Container Depots (ICDs), and industrial warehousing parks. These projects are designed to enhance Bihar's logistics and industrial infrastructure, improving connectivity and supporting economic growth. The combined investments in energy, cement, logistics, and infrastructure are expected to create tens of thousands of local jobs, fostering long-term economic development in Bihar.
