Adani Group representatives sign MoUs with Maharashtra government officials at the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos


The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos 2026 witnessed a major boost to India’s investment narrative as the Adani Group signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth ₹6 lakh crore with the Maharashtra government. The agreements, finalised on the sidelines of the global summit, underline Maharashtra’s growing stature as one of India’s most attractive destinations for large-scale domestic and foreign investments.

The pacts span a wide range of sectors and are planned to be executed over the next 7 to 10 years, reflecting long-term confidence in the state’s economic potential and governance framework.

Multi-Sector Projects Driving Long-Term Growth

Davos 2026: Adani Group to Invest ₹6 Lakh Crore in Maharashtra Projects



According to officials, the MoUs cover investments across several high-impact and future-oriented sectors. These include data centres, urban infrastructure such as integrated townships, renewable energy projects, coal gasification, semiconductor and display fabrication units, and arena development.

This diversified investment approach is expected to strengthen Maharashtra’s industrial ecosystem while supporting India’s broader goals of digital transformation, clean energy transition, and advanced manufacturing.

₹6 Lakh Crore Commitment Over a Decade



Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), described the scale and scope of the investment as a natural outcome of Maharashtra’s business-friendly environment.
“As a group, we have committed an investment of ₹6 lakh crore, which is over $60 billion, over the next 7–10 years,” he said.

Highlighting the diversity of the planned projects, Pranav Adani noted that the investments would span data centres, urban infrastructure, renewable energy, coal gasification, and arena development, creating a strong multiplier effect across the state’s economy.

Ease of Doing Business Attracts Big Corporations

Pranav Adani also praised the Maharashtra government for fostering an ecosystem that encourages large investments.
“The state has so much ease of doing business and they are so inviting towards doing large projects that it is natural for large corporations to come in,” he said.

This endorsement from one of India’s largest conglomerates reinforces Maharashtra’s reputation for policy stability, infrastructure readiness, and administrative efficiency.

Maharashtra Government Highlights FDI and Jobs

The MoUs were signed in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who emphasised the transformative impact of the agreements on the state’s economy. He highlighted that one of the most significant aspects of the deal is the large-scale inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Maharashtra.

“The most important thing about this deal is that the inflow of FDI in Maharashtra is happening on a very large scale,” the Chief Minister said, adding that the projects would generate substantial employment opportunities across sectors.

Coal Gasification and Employment Generation

Chief Minister Fadnavis also pointed out the employment potential of coal gasification projects, one of the key components of the MoUs.
“Coal gasification derivatives create jobs on a very large scale,” he noted.

These projects are expected not only to create direct jobs but also to stimulate ancillary industries, supply chains, and skill development initiatives across the region.

India’s Rise as a Global Data Centre Hub

A major focus of the investment package is the data centre sector, which Pranav Adani said is drawing global attention towards India.
“The whole world is looking towards India in the data centre sector today. Global companies are very keen to establish their base in India,” he said.

He further explained that rapid growth in internet usage, digital services, and data consumption has significantly increased the demand for data storage and processing infrastructure.

Strong Economy and Digital Push Fuel Investor Confidence

Pranav Adani expressed confidence that India is well on its way to becoming a global data centre hub, supported by a strong economy and improving ease of doing business. The combination of policy reforms, digital adoption, and infrastructure development is making India—and Maharashtra in particular—a preferred destination for technology-driven investments.

A Strategic Boost for Maharashtra and India

The ₹6 lakh crore investment commitment at Davos 2026 marks one of the largest single-state investment announcements at the World Economic Forum this year. For Maharashtra, it promises accelerated industrial growth, job creation, and increased global visibility. For India, it reinforces the country’s position as a major destination for long-term, large-scale investments across traditional and emerging sectors.
