Adani Group targets 10 GW nuclear capacity by 2035 under new SHANTI Bill

The Adani Group plans to develop 10 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power generation capacity over the next nine years, Chairman Gautam Adani announced on Wednesday at the group's annual general meeting.

If realized, the 10 GW target would represent one of the largest private-sector commitments to nuclear energy in India. “With land identified and a 10 GW targeted capacity by 2035, we are positioning ourselves early to serve the growing national demand for clean, round-the-clock power,” Adani said.

The announcement comes after the passage of the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Bill (SHANTI Bill) by Parliament in December 2025. The new law is expected to unlock private sector participation across a wide spectrum of nuclear activities, including power generation, reactor supply and operation, nuclear fuel mining, and research and development across the nuclear fuel cycle.

Adani said the group is putting in place a three-layer structure across both its headquarters and sites to reduce bureaucracy, sharpen accountability, and bring decisions closer to execution.

Successful AI adoption could add $500 billion by 2030.
