The energy landscape of India is evolving rapidly, and Vidarbha is poised to play a starring role, according to Jeet Adani, Director at Adani Defence and Aerospace. Addressing the ‘Advantage Vidarbha 2026’ event in Nagpur, he revealed that Adani Group’s stakes in the region are not short-term deals but enduring partnerships spanning generations.
Central to this vision is forging energy resilience, creating superior jobs, community empowerment, and economic fortification. ‘We’re aligned with national imperatives,’ he noted—championing clean, dependable energy; nurturing integrated industry and logistics; and fostering inclusive progress for all.
Key assets include the state-of-the-art 3,300 MW Tirora supercritical plant, adhering to the highest global standards. The strategic revival of Butibori’s 600 MW capacity in 2025 highlights Adani’s expertise in asset turnaround and infrastructure reinforcement.
Long-term contracts ensure 6,600 MW supply to Maharashtra, merging solar from Khawda and thermal reliability, powering industries, urbanization, and digital innovation.
A monumental Rs 70,000 crore project at Linga, Kalmeshwar, integrates coal gasification with derivatives production. Expect 30,000 jobs, cutting-edge chemicals, sectoral self-sufficiency, and Nagpur’s global clean energy stature.
Defense and aviation get a boost via Indamer acquisition, expanding MIHAN’s MRO to 30 acres with 15 bays, elite certifications, and international ties, establishing Nagpur as a MRO leader.
Adani Foundation drives change in Gondia-Nagpur with 43 SHGs, nutrition programs, solar energy, water security, sports, and education enhancements, prioritizing health, schooling, and women.
In closing, Jeet Adani positioned Vidarbha as India’s developmental vanguard, a region destined to shape the decades ahead.
