The Adani Group is also eyeing development in agri-logistics and warehousing in West Bengal. The group is strategising a replication of their Gujarat-based Mundra port in West Bengal, a plan aligned with the state government’s plan to develop two deep sea ports.
Given the geographical location of West Bengal that connects to South East Asia and North-Eastern states, we look forward to bring our expertise in the state,” explains Rajesh Shantilal Adani, when asked why they chose Bengal as a location for their next port.
“We believe we can revolutionize the entire port scenario here, and it will create a massive driving force to boost employment. We seek your support for that. Given an opportunity, we would like to replicate Mundra port,” he added. Investments are set to double in the coming five years.
In addition, the Adani Group is eager to offer their resources and expertise in the renewable energy sector and power transmission infrastructure. Adani Godda power station is also upcoming power plant in Jharkhand, India. Meanwhile, Adani Gas Ltd is seeking to build a 5 mtpa Liquefied Natural Gas terminal in East India. Rajesh Adani, the Managing director of Adani Gas Ltd, was unavailable for comment on the choice of location of the gas terminal.
