The Adani Group will create approximately 120,000 new jobs in Madhya Pradesh by 2030 across cement, mining, power, smart meters, and hydro pumped storage, Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani said on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the group’s new cement plant in Guna district, in the presence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
The job projection is tied to an Rs 1.1 lakh crore investment that Group Chairman Gautam Adani had pledged for the state at the Global Investors Summit in Bhopal last year. “This investment is earmarked for sectors such as Hydro Pumped Storage, Cement, Mining, Smart Meters, and Thermal Energy. By the year 2030, this initiative will generate new employment opportunities for 120,000 people,” Pranav Adani said.
The Guna cement project is a clearer near-term anchor. It will be built in two phases with an annual capacity of 40 lakh metric tonnes, with Phase One targeted for commissioning by 2028. The project carries an investment of over Rs 1,060 crore, which Pranav Adani described as the largest single investment in Guna district to date. It is expected to provide direct and indirect employment to around 1,500 people and contribute over Rs 6,000 crore to the state treasury in the years ahead.
The group has already invested over Rs 4,000 crore in its Ametha and Kymor plants in Katni district, and Adani Power currently supplies 1,200 megawatts of electricity to Madhya Pradesh, with another 5,600 megawatts in the pipeline. Adani Cement, with a current capacity of 109 MTPA, is also planning a new plant in Ujjain.
The announcement comes against a wider backdrop of large private investments being routed to Madhya Pradesh as the state positions itself as a destination for cement, defence manufacturing, and renewable energy. For HR leaders tracking talent flows, the 1.2 lakh job number, if delivered, would be one of the largest single-employer job-creation commitments to a single Indian state in this decade.
