Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, has recently announced plans to invest over Rs 1 lakh crore in West Bengal by 2035, spanning sectors including ports, logistics, power generation and transmission, roads, bridges, ropeways, green cement, and hyperscale data centers. During a foundation stone-laying ceremony for the Adani Arogya Mandir in Kolkata, he described the project as a 2,000-bed, not-for-profit medical institution, with 1,000 beds reserved for economically weaker sections eligible under state and central health insurance schemes, and stated the group would invest over Rs 4,000 crore in the hospital. Adani also expressed support for restoring historic buildings and revitalizing Kumartuli, and referred to Bengal as a potential "second karmabhoomi" for the group. In public addresses, Adani has emphasized the need to "build ahead of demand" in India, arguing that the country should create energy, port, logistics, and digital infrastructure before constraints emerge. Speaking at a CareEdge Ratings infrastructure summit, he called for credit frameworks that recognize the value of strategic infrastructure, stating that "India does not need lower standards. India needs wider lenses." Following the dismissal of a US Department of Justice case against him, Adani said the legal process strengthened his faith in the rule of law and credited employees, workers, suppliers, and partners for supporting the group during the period of scrutiny. He also reflected on lessons from his parents about trust and sacrifice, and said the years described as the group's most difficult were also among its best in its history.

“Over the coming decade, our intent is to deploy over one lakh crore rupees across Bengal. This will span ports, logistics, power generation, power transmission and distribution, roads, bridges, ropeways, green cement as well as hyperscale data centers.

“We must therefore now build ahead of demand. We must create energy capacity before energy becomes a constraint.
