In a significant development for Odisha’s energy landscape, Mr. Karan Adani, along with the senior executive team of the Adani Group, today met Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo at Kharavel Bhavan.
The bilateral meeting brought together the state’s top energy leadership, including Additional Chief Secretary (Energy) Vishal Kumar Dev, OPTCL Chairman and Managing Director Bhaskar Jyoti Sarma, GRIDCO Managing Director Dr. Satyapriya Rath, and other senior officials from the Energy Department.
Discussions centred on accelerating the rollout of clean energy infrastructure in the state, with special focus on Pumped Storage Plants (PSP), large-scale solar power generation, and nuclear power projects. The talks aimed at strengthening long-term energy security, enhancing grid reliability, and advancing Odisha’s sustainable energy goals.
The Adani Group reiterated its strong interest in investing in Odisha’s clean energy sector. Building on earlier interactions with the Deputy Chief Minister, the company expressed its intent to establish two power plants of 3,000 MW capacity each — a combined 6,000 MW addition that could significantly boost the state’s carbon-free power generation capacity.
Recognising the critical need for continuous, carbon-free baseload power, both sides placed special emphasis on renewable and advanced clean energy solutions. The Adani team also extended a formal invitation to the Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister to visit their operational renewable energy projects in other states.
The meeting signals growing momentum in Odisha’s green energy ambitions and underscores the Adani Group’s continued confidence in the state’s investment potential.
As Odisha positions itself as a key player in India’s clean energy transition, today’s high-level engagement could pave the way for transformative projects in the years ahead.
