The Adani Group has played a pivotal role in India’s infrastructure development. It has tapped new opportunities in the road, metro and railway sectors by taking up projects related to national highways, expressways, tunnels, metro networks and railways. This move is in line with the government’s drive to expand transport infrastructure across India. By venturing into these critical sectors, the company is naturally playing a key role in improving connectivity, which is in line with ongoing efforts to improve India’s transport and urban infrastructure.

Adani for Railways

The Adani Group has established many railway lines both within India and internationally. In India, Adani owns the country’s longest private railway network, covering approximately 300 km. These private rail routes are strategically linked to key assets such as ports, mines and business centers, facilitating efficient transportation of goods. Some of the railway projects include Kutch Railway, Sarguja Rail Corridor and Krishnapatnam Rail Company among others. The Adani Group has also expanded its presence in the travel booking and information sector through strategic investments. This includes acquiring a 30% stake in Trainman, an online train ticket booking platform. Additionally, in October 2021, the group bought a minority stake in Cleartrip Pvt Ltd, an online travel aggregator owned by Flipkart. These investments mark the group’s growing footprint in the digital travel area.

Adani for Roadways

As part of its expansion, the group mentions on its website that it is focusing on nationwide projects led by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), Ministry of Railways, Metro Corporations of various states and others similar initiatives managed by both central and state authorities. The group has secured three significant projects under the HAM model by NHAI: Bilaspur-Pathrapali in Chhattisgarh, Suryapet-Khammam and Mancherial-Repallevada in Telangana, covering a total of about 650 lane kilometers.
