Adani to invest ₹63,000cr in Assam's energy sector
Assam just landed its biggest-ever private energy investment—Adani Power and Adani Green Energy are set to pour in ₹63,000 crore for two huge projects.
The plan? A 3,200 MW thermal power plant and a 2,700 MW pumped storage facility to seriously upgrade the state's electricity game.
Thermal plant to offer lowest tariff
Adani Power's thermal plant will get ₹48,000 crore and promises electricity at ₹6.30 per kWh—offering the lowest tariff in the bidding process.
Expect up to 25,000 jobs during construction and 3,500 long-term roles once it's running.
Meanwhile, Adani Green Energy is investing ₹15,000 crore in pumped storage projects to help balance the grid and support more renewables.
The first phase of the thermal power plant is set to go live by December 2030—marking a big step toward a more stable (and sustainable) future for Assam.
