Adani Group will invest Rs 63,000 crore in two major energy projects in Assam after its portfolio companies secured Letters of Award from the State government for a greenfield thermal power plant and large-scale pumped storage facilities.
According to a company statement, Adani Power will pump in Rs 48,000 crore to build a 3,200 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant under the Design, Build, Finance, Own and Operate model. The project, backed by coal linkage through the Centre’s SHAKTI policy, will be commissioned in phases from December 2030. It is expected to generate employment for up to 25,000 people during construction and sustain around 3,500 jobs once operational.
Adani Green Energy will invest Rs 15,000 crore to develop two pumped storage projects with a combined capacity of 2,700 MW. The company has received an LoA for 500 MW of storage capacity, which will be supplied from the proposed facilities. The storage systems aim to strengthen grid stability, support peak-time demand and aid greater integration of renewable power.

Gautam Adani, chairman of the group, said, “The North-East is emerging as a vital frontier in India's growth story, and we are proud to contribute to its transformation. Our 3,200 MW thermal power project and 2,700 MW PSP projects in Assam collectively represent not only the largest private sector investment in the region but also firm steps toward energy security, industrial development and job creation. These projects will not only energise Assam but also catalyse progress across the entire northeastern corridor.”
The projects align with Adani’s earlier commitment to invest Rs 50,000 crore in the Northeast. The group described the initiatives as a significant boost to Assam’s energy landscape, designed to enhance reliability and efficiency while setting higher environmental standards through modern technology.
Adani Power currently operates 18.15 GW across 12 thermal and one solar plant, and aims to reach 42 GW of generation capacity by 2031–32. The pumped storage systems proposed by Adani Green are expected to play a key role in Assam’s transition to cleaner and more resilient energy infrastructure.
