Adani - Who are they??

Adani has copped a lot of bad publicity lately.  Mainly driven by anti coal activist groups. We know their agenda is to try and kill the coal industry here in Australia. By attacking Adani, they feel they can stop the export of coal that is necessary for many millions of people worldwide who are living in poverty.

Adani actually does a lot of good in their own country.

The Adani Foundation

We live and work in the communities where our operations are based and take our responsibilities to society seriously.

We invest 3% of the group’s  profit in community initiatives through the Adani Foundation.
The Foundation runs projects in four key areas:  
  • Education – Quality education and promoting girl child education.
  • Community Health – Innovative projects to meet the local needs and facilitate basic healthcare to all, by bridging gaps.  
  • Sustainable Livelihood Development – Holding hands of all marginalised groups to improve livelihood opportunities and thus the quality of life at the local community level.
  • Rural Infrastructure Development - Need based quality infrastructure for better inclusive growth.

Reducing impact on the environment

Enabling India to meet its energy needs while minimising the impact on the environment is a big challenge. We protect biodiversity in ecologically sensitive areas like Mundra, where we have conserved and extended the mangrove forests.

We were the first power company in India to use 'supercritical' technology to reduce CO2 emissions, an initiative that won us Clean Development Certification from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

We are also at the forefront of initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

We recently commissioned the largest solar power project in India.

As quoted by Adani's Chairman - (Gautam Adani)

Since its foundation in 1988, the Group’s business has grown exponentially. Projections for the next few years suggest the expansion is set to continue.

The back-story to our success is the growth of India’s middle class. Their demand for goods and services places an ever-growing demand on the nation’s infrastructure, in terms of ports, power, water and transportation.

The Government has struggled to keep pace and, as a result, invited the private sector to contribute. The opening up of the energy and infrastructure markets is a huge opportunity for Adani. Our coal mining, cargo handling and power generation activities are projected to increase four to 10 fold over the next decade.




About Adani Mining Australia

The Adani Group’s venture into Australia commenced in 2010 with the purchase of the Greenfield Carmichael Coal Mine in the Galilee Basin, Central Queensland, and the Port of Abbot Point near Bowen in North Queensland. Our vision is to operate a vertically integrated model - with the extraction of coal from our Carmichael Mine, transported by rail to Abbot Point, and exported to meet consumer and business demands in offshore markets. Adani’s proposed Carmichael Coal Mine and Rail Project will deliver many benefits to the local, state and national economies and the newly proposed North Galilee Basin Rail project signifies that our project is on track.

Adani Mining will look to provide full, fair and reasonable opportunity to Australian suppliers for the supply of equipment, services and technology for the Carmichael Coal, Mine and Rail Project in Queensland.

To support its commitment to Australian industry, Adani Mining is developing a Local Procurement Policy and an Australian Industry Participation Plan. Through the implementation of these plans, Adani Mining will use best endeavors to maximise Australian participation in its project by sourcing, where possible, from regional, Queensland and Australian businesses. By making supply opportunities available at all levels, Adani will look to ensure that a range of businesses are given the opportunity to tender for work on its project.

In Australia, our business, underpinning the Carmichael Mine Project, has several components: coal exploration, coal mining, rail construction & operations, construction of infrastructure, port expansion & operations.

It is anticipated that the Carmichael Mine Project will export more than 60MTPA of coal at peak production and employ up to 5,000 people during construction and 4,000 during its operational phase.
