“I must confess that I am greatly surprised by the conversations around our debt. We are financially very strong and secure. Such noises are coming mainly from two categories. The first category is of the people who are not doing deep diving to understand the detailed nuances of debt and finances of company. I'm sure if they make an effort to understand the financial statements, all the misgivings about debt will disappear. However, there is second category of people with a vested interest deliberately creating confusion and misunderstanding to tarnish the reputation of the group. The fact of the matter is that in the past nine years our profit has been growing at twice the rate of our debt and because of which our debt to EBITDA ratio has come down from 7.6 to 3.2 which is very very healthy for a large group where most of the companies are in the infrastructure space with assured and predictable cash flow unlike manufacturing.”

Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, addressed the CII Annual Business Summit 2026 on May 11, where he said that the global economy is no longer "flat" but "fractured," with supply chains being redesigned around national interest. He argued that energy security and digital security are now "the twin foundations of national power" and that a country that controls both its energy and its compute will "shape the century ahead."

He noted that the Adani Group has commissioned 35% of a 30 GW renewable energy plant at Khavda in Gujarat and announced a $100 billion commitment to the data center business, including a partnership with Google to build a gigawatt-scale campus in Visakhapatnam. On May 1, International Labour Day, Adani launched a dialogue series titled "Apni Baat, Apno Ke Saath" for Adani Group employees.
