Speaking at JP Morgan India Investor Summit, Adani Group chairman said the USD 20 billion investment will be in renewable energy generation, component manufacturing, transmission and distribution. Adani Group’s “integrated value chain, our scale, and experience put us on the path to be the producer of the least expensive green electron anywhere in the world,” he said.

The announcement came weeks after India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani announced an investment of Rs 75,000 crore (USD 10 billion) in clean power and hydrogen fuel over three years.
