    About The Adani Group

    The Adani Group is one of India's leading business houses with revenue of over $8 billion for financial year 2012.

    Founded in 1988, Adani has grown to become a global integrated infrastructure player with businesses in key industry verticals - resources, logistics and energy. The integrated model is well adapted to the infrastructure challenges of the emerging economies. It multiplies the benefit of synergy and economies of scale both for the Group and for the customers.

    We live and work in the communities where we operate and take our responsibilities to society seriously. The Group protects biodiversity in ecologically sensitive areas like Mundra and undertakes initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions. At Adani, we deliver benefits to our customers and customers' customers.

    Resources means obtaining coal from mines and trading; in future it will also include oil and gas production. Adani is developing and operating mines in India, Indonesia and Australia as well as importing and trading coal from many other countries. Currently, we are the largest coal importer in India. We also have extensive interests in oil and gas exploration.

    Extractive capacity is scheduled to increase from 3 million MT of thermal coal in 2011 to 200 million MT per annum by 2020, making Adani one of the largest mining groups in the world.

    Logistics denotes a large network of ports, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and multi-modal logistics - railways and ships. Adani owns and operates three ports - Mundra and Dahej in India and Abbot Point in Australia. The Mundra Port, which is the largest private port in India, benefits from deep draft, first-class infrastructure and SEZ status.

    Adani is also developing ports at Hazira, Mormugao, Visakhapatnam and Kandla in India and Dudgeon Point in Australia. Our aim is to increase our annual cargo handling capacity from 64 million MT in 2012 to 200 million MT by 2020.

    Energy involves power generation & transmission and gas distribution. Adani is the largest private thermal power producer in India. Our power generation capacity is expected to increase from 4,660 MW in 2012 to 10,000 MW by the end of 2013. We are currently developing six power projects for generating 16,500 MW of power across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Our aim is to generate 20,000 MW by 2020.
