During the visit, Adani inaugurated vocational training for differently abled in food and beverage at Pehla Kadam.

Speaking at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s 100th-year celebration, Adani Group Chairman said, “As you graduate, you step into a moment of extraordinary promise, where the global green energy transition is emerging as the largest industry of our time, worth several trillion dollars over the coming decades. It will fuel the rise of electricity-based manufacturing, green steel, green fertilisers, hydrogen ecosystems, and the critical infrastructure on which AI and digital economies depend, which is also why we are investing over USD 75 billion in the space of energy transition over the next five years.”
