Additionally, the group plans to scale up its cement manufacturing capacity in Kochi, reinforcing its presence in the construction materials sector.

The two-day Invest Kerala Global Summit has attracted approximately 3,000 participants, highlighting the state’s growing appeal as an investment destination. The Adani Group’s substantial financial commitment aligns with Kerala’s vision of fostering economic development and creating new employment opportunities.

By investing in critical infrastructure, logistics, and industrial expansion, the Adani Group is set to play a pivotal role in Kerala’s long-term economic growth, ensuring enhanced connectivity, increased trade, and greater industrial capacity in the years to come.
