Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Defence and Aerospace, on Friday said that Vidarbha stands at the core of India’s energy story, and the Adani Group’s presence in the region is not transactional; it is generational. Addressing the inaugural session of ‘Advantage Vidarbha 2026’ here, Jeet Adani said, “We are here to build energy security, create high-quality jobs, uplift communities, and strengthen India’s economic foundations.”

 

Highlighting the group’s presence in the region, Jeet Adani further said, “At Tiroda, we operate Maharashtra’s largest and most advanced 3,300 MW supercritical power plant - built to the highest global standards of efficiency and environmental responsibility. In 2025, we revived the 600 MW Butibori power plant, demonstrating our commitment to resolving stressed assets and strengthening India’s power infrastructure. Through a 25-year supply agreement, we now ensure 6,600 MW of dependable electricity for Maharashtra, combining unparalleled solar generation from Khavda with robust thermal base load supply.

 

This is the backbone supporting Maharashtra’s industries, its cities, and its digital economy.” In addition to this, he said, the group’s most transformative commitment is the Rs 70,000 crore Integrated Coal Gasification and Downstream Derivatives Complex at Linga, Kalmeshwar. The project will create 30,000 direct jobs, build advanced chemical manufacturing capabilities, boost energy independence for critical industries, and place Nagpur firmly on the global map of clean energy technology. We are also strengthening Vidarbha’s role as a logistics gateway through our 75-acre ICD at Borkhedi and the acquisition of 24 border check-posts across Maharashtra. These assets reduce freight cost, boost exports, and improve global competitiveness for thousands of businesses. In aviation and defence, the group’s acquisition of Indamer Technics Pvt. Ltd. has expanded its 30-acre MRO complex at MIHAN. With 15 aircraft bays, FAA and DGCA certifications, and integration with the Air Works global network, Nagpur is rapidly emerging as an international centre for aircraft MRO.
