Around $70billion has a plan to be invested in the entire green energy supply chain by 2030. His aim is to become the world’s biggest renewable power producer by the end of this decade.

Adani is in that sweet spot,” she said. Still, Adani Green is one of the most leveraged companies in the tycoon’s empire, with Asia’s second-worst debt-to-equity ratio of 2,021 per cent.
