Adani Group plans to add Rs 2 lakh crore ($24 billion) worth of new assets this year as the business conglomerate overhauls its internal structure to accelerate project execution, its Chairman Gautam Adani said.

Further, Adani Group will adopt a three-layer organisational model to speed up decision-making and boost execution across its businesses, Adani said while addressing 4 lakh employees on International Labour Day.

“In our first 35 years, we collectively built assets worth about Rs 2 lakh crore. And today, such is our standing that within this single year alone, we are going to add another Rs 2 lakh crore in new assets,” Adani said, adding that the Adani Group would contribute to the journey of making India a developed nation by 2047, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Citing the examples of various projects such as Mundra and the just-completed Ganga Expressway, Gautam Adani said, “When we complete a project, we are not simply finishing a task; we are shaping the future of our country.”

He highlighted that the Mundra project had transformed a swathe of barren land into India’s largest port — accelerating the nation’s trade and connecting the country to the rest of the world.

Similarly, the Vizhinjam Port in Kerala will carve out a new identity for India on the global maritime map and propel the country forward toward becoming a robust transshipment hub. And Khavda in Kutch — where the group is currently building one of the world’s largest green energy projects — is laying the foundation for a safe and clean future for generations to come.

Regarding the Navi Mumbai International Airport, he said it has become the pride of the country as one of the finest airports in the world and will add a new dimension to India’s aviation capacities, increasing connectivity and opening the doors to new opportunities for millions of people.

On the 594-km greenfield Ganga Expressway project in Uttar Pradesh, which was inaugurated by the Prime Minister earlier this week, he said the project would transform the lives of over 8 crore people by cutting the journey from Meerut to Prayagraj to a mere 5–6 hours from the earlier 10–11 hours.

Talking about the Dharavi slum redevelopment project, he said that it is the world’s largest and most “challenging endeavour in human transformation”.

Three-layer organisational model

The firm is also adopting a new three-layer organisational model designed to flatten hierarchies and reduce bureaucratic delays. Adani stated that the restructuring aims to cut decision-making time from days to hours.

“The three-layer model is designed to eliminate bureaucratic delays and bring greater clarity in responsibility. We want decisions that currently take three days to be made in just three hours,” he said.

Alongside this, Gautam Adani also introduced a “partnership model” that seeks to streamline engagement with contractors and vendors.

Addressing the ‘Adani Pariwar’, the Chairman detailed a roadmap focused on a flattened three-layer organisational model, a strategic partnership framework, and a formalised learning ecosystem intended to empower the group’s four lakh workers.

“If we are to maintain our momentum and build a stronger future, we must move forward with determination on certain fundamentals. Based on these experiences, we’ve begun work on three major transformations, three pillars,” he stated.
