Even in the face of these challenges, your Adani Group remained anchored to an unwavering belief. India's future cannot wait. While others debated, your group built, advancing its journey as the world's most integrated infrastructure platform across energy, transport, logistics, utilities, and industrial manufacturing.
The theme of my address this year focuses on accelerating infrastructure, leveraging intelligence. These are no longer two separate priorities. They are the twin global engines that must shape India's strength, secure India's sovereignty, and accelerate India's journey to becoming one of the defining powers of this century.
The first engine, infrastructure, is the roads, ports, airports, transmission lines, power plants, renewable parks, gas networks, logistics platforms, cement capacity, water systems, and our industrial ecosystems that make national growth possible. The second engine, intelligence, is data centers, the use of AI, automations, predictive systems, digital platforms, real-time analytics, and machine-led decision support to make every one of these assets more responsive.
Infrastructure gives a nation muscle. Intelligence gives a nation mastery. And today the two are inseparable.
What we have always been defined by is not the noise that surrounds us but the strength of our response. Not the intensity of the challenge but the clarity of our purpose. Not the criticisms but the nation building we intensely believe in.
In FY 25-26 we made a record capital investment of more than rupees 1.5 lakh crore in hard infrastructure. To put that in perspective, this represented over 30% of India's total new private sector capital expenditure of the year. For us, this is more than a financial number. It is a statement of belief, and there can be no stronger testimony to our commitment to nation building than the scale at which we continue to invest in the infrastructure that will power India's next chapter.
Our consolidated portfolio revenue stood at rupees 2.92 lakh crore, thereby reflecting a year-on-year growth of 7.4%. EBITDA reached rupees 94,834 crores, with the net debt to EBITDA ratio at a healthy 3.3x, thereby demonstrating the strength and resilience of our operating businesses. Profit after tax also rose by 13.9% to rupees 46,376 crores, while our cash flow stood at rupees 67,995 crores. These record numbers give us the financial strength, liquidity, and confidence to fund our ambitious capex plans and continue building at unmatched scale across India's core infrastructure sectors.
In digital and industrial infrastructure, our data center business is firmly on the path to building a 3 gigawatt platform by 2030. The binding MOU for a gigawatt scale data center with a Google in Visakhapatnam reflects both the scale of the digital demand ahead and the confidence that global technology leaders such as Google, Microsoft, Uber, and Flipkart are placing on us.
We are placing worker dignity at the heart of our transformations across our own and contracted workforce of nearly 4 lakh people. Almost 85% are people who work on the ground at our sites. They are the people who turn our plants into reality. And we are committed to ensuring that every worker is treated with dignity. This means clean living conditions, hygienic food, access to medical support, safe working environments, and fair wages paid on time.
