Moving away from polluting coal, billionaire Gautam Adani on Wednesday laid out a blueprint to make his group the world’s largest solar power company by 2025 and the biggest renewable energy firm by 2030 through aggressive capacity addition push in these areas.
The $15-billion Adani Group — a sprawling conglomerate with interests in energy, agri-business, real estate and defence, among others — plans to double its renewable power generating capacity of current 2.5 gigawatts (GW) by 2020 and further to 18 GW by 2025, Adani wrote in a Linkedin post.
“Our vision is to become the world’s largest solar power company by 2025 and largest renewable power company by 2030,” the Adani Group chairman wrote.
