DECEMBER 20258ADANI GROUP TO INVEST 1 TRILLION IN AIRPORTS, INFRA OVER 5 YEARSINOXGFL EXPANDS SOLAR AND WIND MANUFACTURING CAPACITY IN GUJARATAdani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) has unveiled a major 1 trillion capital expenditure blueprint to scale airport infrastructure and adjacent real estate over the next five years, underlining the conglomerate's strategic push into India's aviation and infrastructure sectors.The investment will span airport terminals, air-side assets, city-side development such as hotels, entertainment and convention centres, and other facilities Gujarat's clean-energy landscape made a big leap on 18Dec2025 when INOXGFL opened new solar and wind factories near Ahmedabad. These facilities are considered as one of the largest renewable-energy production sites of the year, which will facilitate the energy transition in the country.The company unveiled a 3GW solar-module facility and a 1.2GW wind turbine facility. The new facilities add new energy to the national renewable production, and drive the transition of India to cleaner energy to the next gear.across its expanding portfolio, as the sector prepares for robust passenger growth.AAHL currently operates seven airports in key metros including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur and Guwahati, with Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) set to become its eighth when commercial operations commence on December 25, 2025. The group's focus on diversified infrastructure around airports reflects broader industry trends where non-aeronautical revenues are gaining prominence alongside traditional aviation income.On plans for public markets, AAHL's Director Jeet Adani said, "The total capex for airside, terminal and city-side development at all our airports will be around Rs 1 lakh crore (Rs 1 trillion) over the next five years." The company considers a demerger or an initial public offering between 2027-2030, depending on the realization of several milestones like full commissioning and financial independence of NMIA.The long-term aviation demand in India indicated that NMIA has a very high potential in the market, as it has plans to accommodate up to 20 million passengers over FY27 and ultimately accommodate much more traffic. The investment is a positive indication of investment trust in airport infrastructure as a high-growth and high-value industry in the overall economy. The 3GW solar-module plant in Bavla cost 400 crores and it has the state of the art automated automation. It will manufacture next generation N-type TOPCon bi-facial modules which will enhance efficiency by absorbing sunlight on both sides of the panels.Kalyangarh (1.2GW) wind-manufacturing factory focuses on nacelles and hubs- the fundamental components of wind turbines. The facility will be constructed to international standards to satisfy the needs of the existing 3 MW turbines as well as future 4 X MW models, increasing the wind-power capacity in India.According to Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, the opening of these show a great deal of dedication to clean energy, innovation and industrial development on the part of the state. He complemented this by saying that the projects will provide over 2,000 jobs that will entrench the image of Gujarat as a manufacturing center of renewable-energy.The leaders of INOXGFL make rather ambitious goals: the group is to reach the 11GW of solar-module capacity and 8GW of cell capacity by FY27. The goals are also meant to propel a major growth in revenues, enhance the energy security of India and also increase the renewable manufacture base of the country. TOP STORIESTOP STORIESTOP STORIES
