Vidarbha Set To Become Global Clean Energy & Logistics Hub: Jeet Adani

Speaking at the inauguration of the Khasdar Audyogik Mahotsav during Advantage Vidarbha 2026, Jeet Adani said Vidarbha is set to re-emerge as a key pillar of India’s economic and cultural growth, driven by large-scale infrastructure development and a strong focus on energy and logistics. He highlighted a ₹70,000 crore investment in an integrated coal gasification and downstream derivatives complex at Linga, expected to create 30,000 direct jobs and position Nagpur as a global hub for clean energy technologies, while strengthening national self-reliance through improved energy independence. He also pointed to the region’s strengthening power infrastructure, including the 3,300 MW supercritical power plant at Tiroda and the revival of the 600 MW Butibori plant in 2025. Together with solar generation, these projects provide 6,600 MW of dependable electricity for Maharashtra, supporting industrial growth, logistics expansion and the broader digital economy.
