Adani Group to foray into electric vehicles manufacturing
‘Adani’ plans to make electric commercial vehicles—coaches, buses and trucks
Gautam Adani’s logistics-to-energy conglomerate wants to enter into electric vehicles segment with brand ‘Adani’ registerd in the name of the Group entity S.B. Adani Family Trust.
As part of the broader moves into green projects, the group has plans to set up R&D facility at SEZ in Mundra, Gujarat for its electric mobility projects.

“By 2030, we expect to be the world’s largest renewable energy company without any caveat – and we have committed USD 70 billion over the next decade to make this happen,” Gautam Adani said an event on November 11, 2021.
Adani Group already is the world’s largest solar power developer.
