Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd, has announced a Rs 30,000 crore investment in Kerala over the next five years to enhance the state’s infrastructure and economic growth. The announcement was made during the Invest Kerala Global Summit 2025.
Addressing the summit, Karan Adani said, “In total, the Adani Group is going to invest Rs 30,000 crore in the next five years in the state of Kerala.”
He reiterated the group’s commitment to transforming the state into a major logistics and transportation hub.
“The Adani Group has already invested Rs 5,000 crore in Vizhinjam and is committing an additional investment of Rs 20,000 crore. This is not only India’s first transhipment hub, but our vision is to make Vizhinjam the largest transhipment port in this part of the region,” he said.
The Vizhinjam Port has already marked a milestone by docking the largest container vessel to touch Indian shores, with a 24,000-container capacity. Its strategic location along the world’s busiest shipping lanes enhances its role in global trade.
“Further, we will be expanding the Trivandrum International Airport from 4.5 million to 12 million passengers, with Rs 5,500 crore. We will also be setting up a Logistics and E-Commerce hub in Cochin and increasing our cement capacity in Cochin,” Karan Adani said.
Additionally, the Adani Group will establish a Logistics and E-Commerce hub in Kochi and expand cement production capacity in the city.
“Today, Vizhinjam continues this rich tradition, placing India at the heart of global commerce. At the Adani Group, we are proud to contribute to this new era,” he highlighted.
“Vizhinjam is strategically located along the world’s busiest shipping lanes and, even before commissioning, made history by docking the largest container vessel to ever touch Indian shores, with a capacity of 24,000 containers.”
When concluding his address, Karan Adani quoted Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, saying, “The infrastructure sector is all about building assets for the nation and nation-building.”
