Gautam Adani on India GDP growth
From Watch Gautam Adani LIVE : World's 3rd Richest Man | Gautam Adani On India Today | India Today Live · · India Today
“In our 75 years of Independence it took us 58 years to get to our first trillion dollars of GDP, 12 years to the next trillion and just five years for the third trillion. But now if you look at our pace of social and economic reforms I see India adding a trillion dollars to its GDP every 12 to 18 months within the next decade. I'm very optimistic about the growth and prosperity of India. This optimism comes from the fact that in 2050 we'll have a young India of 1.6 billion people with a median age of 38. We'll also have the world's largest middle-class population. This demographic dividend combined with the largest middle class will spur growth and prosperity in India and making it a 30 trillion dollar economy. So clearly this century belongs to India.”

About Gautam Adani
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." Adani stated that India must not "import fear" from the Western world regarding artificial intelligence eliminating jobs, and said AI should be built to expand productivity and create new jobs. 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. He said the group has over 400,000 participants and added that it is adding assets worth ₹1 lakh crore in a single year. He outlined three transformations for the group, including a three-layer model, and said the group is building air-conditioned accommodation for 50,000 workers in Mundra and Khavda. On May 10, Adani led a groundbreaking ceremony in Bihar's Saran district for the Adani Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital, organized jointly by the Adani Foundation and Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital, and said the group aims to invest ₹50,000-60,000 crore in Bihar over the next three to four years.
