Adani Group plans to invest around $100 billion over the next five to six years, largely in greenfield infrastructure spanning energy transition, transport and utilities. Group CFO Jugeshinder Singh says most of this outlay can be financed through internally generated cash flows, sharply limiting the need for fresh external capital.

Gautam Adani’s infrastructure conglomerate has outlined one of the boldest private capex blueprints in India’s history: an investment drive of roughly $100 billion spread across the next half decade, or about $15–20 billion a year. The pipeline is overwhelmingly greenfield, targeting renewables, green hydrogen, transmission, ports, logistics, airports and cement, with minimal emphasis on acquisitions.

Crucially, CFO Jugeshinder Singh argues the group can “do most” of this capex from internal accruals. Based on current and under‑construction assets, Adani’s 10‑year cumulative operating cash flows plus existing cash reserves are estimated at just under $120 billion, against scheduled debt maturities of about $21 billion. This math implies the bulk of the $100‑billion plan could be self‑funded, with only a modest net addition to leverage even as the group ramps annual capex from roughly ₹1.1–1.2 lakh crore to ₹1.5–1.6 lakh crore.

Key highlights

Capex plan: ~$100 billion over 5–6 years, or $15–20 billion annually, focused on greenfield projects.

Sectors: renewables, green hydrogen, transmission, ports, logistics, airports, cement and adjacent infrastructure platforms.

Funding: about ₹80,000 crore per year expected from internal cash flows, with smaller contributions from settlements and EPC profits; balance via a mix of domestic banks, global lenders and bond markets.

Cash-flow math: ~$118 billion in decade-long operating cash and reserves vs ~$21 billion of scheduled debt repayments, leaving room to cover most of the $100‑billion capex.

Financial profile: trailing 12‑month EBITDA at a record ~₹93,000 crore with net leverage around 3x, supporting the group’s claim that aggressive growth and gradual deleveraging can run in parallel.
