Adani Group to Invest Over Rs 4,000 Crore in Bengal Healthcare Project; Plans Total Investment of More Than Rs 1 Lakh Crore by 2035

Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Thursday announced an investment of more than ₹4,000 crore in the proposed Adani Arogya Mandir in West Bengal. The healthcare initiative is expected to generate over 10,000 employment opportunities across the state's healthcare sector. The announcement was made during the foundation stone ceremony for the project in New Town. Adani said the healthcare facility is part of a much larger investment plan under which the Adani Group intends to invest more than ₹1 lakh crore in West Bengal by 2035 across multiple industries.

The Adani Arogya Mandir is planned as a 2,000-bed, not-for-profit medical facility. Half of the beds, or 1,000, will be set aside for economically weaker sections covered by eligible state and central government health insurance programmes. Along with the hospital, the project will include a medical college and advanced healthcare and research facilities, creating an integrated medical and education hub.

“We will invest over ₹4,000 crore in this hospital, college and research facility,” Adani said during the event. Adani attended the ceremony with his wife Priti Adani and son Karan Adani, where they performed the traditional 'bhumi pujan' and formally laid the foundation stone for the project. According to Adani, the hospital, medical college and associated institutions could create more than 10,000 jobs and contribute to the growth of West Bengal's wider healthcare ecosystem.

He described the healthcare project as an initial part of the group's broader investment plans for the state, saying that improvements in infrastructure can create opportunities on a much larger scale. The Adani Group's proposed investment of more than ₹1 lakh crore by 2035 will cover several sectors, including ports and logistics, power generation, transmission and distribution, roads and bridges, ropeways, green cement and hyperscale data centres.

The group also announced plans to support the restoration of Kolkata's historic Writers' Building. The landmark was initially built as an administrative office for the East India Company and subsequently became an important government office complex for West Bengal. Adani also pointed to Bengal's geographical position as a major advantage for future infrastructure and logistics development. He said the state could strengthen its role as a maritime and logistics connection between India's industrial regions, the Northeast and the Bay of Bengal. According to him, this strategic position gives West Bengal an opportunity to develop beyond being a traditional gateway and emerge as a broader economic and logistics hub.
