Adani Gangavaram port installs 6 traffic lights
To enhance road safety and ease congestion, the port installed six traffic lights on the key roads connecting NH-16 with Pedagantyada and Gangavaram villages. These signals aim to streamline traffic flow, especially during peak hours, and reduce accident risk. The port and Adani Foundation consistently maintain these roads, reflecting their dedication to public welfare.
Furthering its commitment to public health, Adani Gangavaram Port was awarded by the Indian Red Cross Society for organising the highest blood donorship event in the region. The honour was conferred by Minister for Health Satya Kumar Yadav on the occasion of the World Blood Donor Day.
Speaking on the initiatives, the port management said, 'Whether it is road safety or healthcare, we are dedicated to building a safer, healthier society through sustained CSR efforts. We thank our teams and community partners for their unwavering support.'

Gautam Adani Reveals Plans To Build AI-First Affordable Healthcare Ecosystem
Mumbai: Gautam Adani on Friday revealed plans to build an AI-first, multidisciplinary healthcare ecosystem that integrates affordability, scalability, and global best practices, as he shared his vision for transforming healthcare in India. Speaking at the 5th Annual Conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery - Asia Pacific (SMISS-AP) in Mumbai, he called for a complete system-wide redesign to meet the needs of the future. Mr Adani, who heads the ports-to-energy conglomerate, said three years ago, on his 60th birthday, his family pledged Rs 60,000 crore towards healthcare, education, and skill development. "We did not enter healthcare because it lacked momentum. We entered because the momentum was not enough," he said. "The pace of change was out of step with the urgency of future demands. As the landscape unfolded, one truth stood out - healthcare does not need incremental upgrades. It needs a system-wide redesign. Not an evolution but a revolution rooted in intelligence as well as empathy." Citing low back pain as a leading cause of disability in India - a crisis more widespread than diabetes or heart disease - he said: "If we are to carry the full weight of our national ambition, we must first heal the spine of our people." He urged the assembled global gathering of spine surgeons and specialists to become not only medical leaders but nation-builders. Honoured to address the brilliant minds at the Annual Conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. To the world, they are spine surgeons. To their patients, they are something far greater. They restore dignity, hope and movement. And, in doing so, hold up the… — Gautam Adani (@gautam_adani) July 11, 2025 Referring to the previously announced Adani Healthcare Temples - large, 1,000-bed integrated medical campuses to be established first in Ahmedabad and Mumbai - Mr Adani said they would be "world-class, affordable, AI-first healthcare ecosystems" and would comprise "modular, scalable infrastructure of the kind that can expand rapidly in the face of pandemics or emergencies." He added that these campuses would serve as centres of excellence for clinical care, research and academic training, guided by the Mayo Clinic's global expertise in design, medical infrastructure and innovation. "We are here to build India's healthcare for tomorrow and a system that is integrated, intelligent, inclusive and inspired," he said. The industrialist laid out a vision for a future-ready healthcare system focused on five core principles - integrated care that breaks traditional silos, modular and scalable infrastructure, technologically enabled education with a focus on robotics and AI, stronger investment in nursing and paramedical training, and human-centric insurance models that prioritise patients over paperwork. Mr Adani also called upon medical entrepreneurs to explore bold new frontiers - from AI-powered spinal diagnostics to rural surgical units and global centres for robotic spinal care. "We are investing in modular, scalable infrastructure of the kind that can expand rapidly in the face of pandemics or emergencies. We are championing the creation of large, world-class healthcare institutes that bring together innovation, patient care, and applied learning under one roof," he said. He went on to stress that academic training must evolve. "So, our focus is on fostering doctors who not only heal but also lead with skills in robotics, AI, systems thinking, and healthcare management. Their education must go beyond anatomy to include empathy, ethics, and enterprise." Drawing on his own journey from diamond trading in Mumbai to building India's largest private port in Mundra, he said, "The spine you save today may belong to the engineer who builds tomorrow's bridges, the scientist who invents the next vaccine, or the entrepreneur who powers our next billion-dollar company." India's healthcare system has made significant strides in recent years, but formidable challenges persist. Government and WHO-aligned analysis shows India currently has just 20.6 doctors, nurses and midwives per 10,000 people - far below the WHO benchmark of 44.5 per 10,000. This shortage is compounded by a stark rural-urban imbalance - around 74 per cent of doctors practice in urban areas, leaving rural communities especially underserved. These gaps are reflected in overburdened clinics, rising out-of-pocket spending and reliance on unqualified providers in remote regions. Closing these gaps-and meeting India's universal health goals-demands more than incremental updates. It requires a full-scale redesign of how care is delivered, financed, staffed and scaled across diverse geographies. With a Rs 60,000 crore family commitment already pledged towards healthcare, education and skill development, the Adani Group's entry into healthcare is part of a broader national mission. "India cannot rise if her people cannot stand. And her people cannot stand without you," Mr Adani told the assembled specialists. "Let us build the backbone of a great nation."

Adani Group to build Healthcare Temples, initiated from Ahmedabad and Mumbai, says Gautam Adani
Mumbai: Gautam Adani , Chairman of the AdGroup, on Friday announced that the conglomerate will build Artificial Intelligence-first Healthcare Temples initiated from Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Speaking at the 5th Annual Conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery - Asia Pacific (SMISS-AP) in Mumbai today, Adani said, "We will be delivering on this promise through the Adani Healthcare Temples --1,000-bed integrated campuses that we will initiate from Ahmedabad and Mumbai." These healthcare infrastructures are designed to be world-class, affordable, AI-first healthcare ecosystems -- and we are proud to have the Mayo Clinic guiding us on the design, implementation, and global standards in medical infrastructure and research, Adani said. Chairman of the Adani Group further stated the group is preparing for a capital expenditure investment of nearly 100 billion US dollars over the next five years, adding that the these investments are the manifestation of the future of India. Adani Group Chairman said that the scale and pace of this investment and its commitment are unprecedented in India's private sector history. In a stirring address tracing his entrepreneurial journey, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, reflected on the formative experiences and bold decisions that helped build one of India's largest infrastructure conglomerates. Adani began by recounting his early days in Mumbai, where his first commission deal earned Rs 10,000 from a Japanese buyer, which was less about the money and more about the realisation that beliefs must always outpace doubts. Highlighting the essence of entrepreneurship, Adani stated, "It never begins with a grand vision; It begins with a spark of conviction; It begins with the courage to act, even when the future is uncertain, and it begins with the willingness to dream alone." He recalled being called back to Ahmedabad in 1981 to run his brother's PVC film factory at the age of 19. This experience, he said, gave him invaluable lessons in resilience, people management, and navigating the challenges of the Licence Raj. "It taught me the resilience needed to manage daily operational challenges. I got exposed to the complexities of managing people, especially factory workers. And I learnt the challenges of the Licensed Raj, where just a few companies control the landscape and did not want any change," Adani added. Adani also mentioned the Group's success of the Mundra project in Gujarat. "It all started in Mundra with the objective to build a salt export jetty along with a US partner. To make a long story short, the partner backed out, and we were left to build the jetty by ourselves. Around this time in 1995-96, Gujarat pioneered a Public-Private Partnership policy for port development, aiming to tap private sector capabilities. We dived right in. Keep in mind, we had never laid a brick before. Almost everyone called it madness. A port in a marshland to be built by a team with no construction experience!" he added. Adani emphasised that Mundra was more than just a port. "Mundra is the manifestation of a belief made real," he stated. Mundra is home to India's largest multi-cargo port, the world's largest private single-site thermal power plant, a massive integrated solar and wind manufacturing hub, and clusters of industries including petrochemicals and copper smelting. He noted that the journey that started in Mundra has now extended across India, making Adani Group the world's second-largest solar power company and builder of the world's largest single-site hybrid renewable park of 30 GW over 500 sq km. The company is now India's largest private airport operator, handling over 25 per cent of passenger traffic and 38 per cent of air cargo. With India's largest ports and logistics network, Adani said the Group now handles 30 per cent of the country's seaborne cargo and operates an integrated energy business -- spanning thermal and renewable generation, LNG, LPG, battery storage, EV charging, hydrogen, mining, and more. He also highlighted the Group's growing presence in cement manufacturing, aerospace and defence, data centres, and real estate. (ANI)

Adani group to enter healthcare, plans 1,000-bed hospitals in Mumbai, Ahmedabad
Billionaire Gautam Adani is set to expand his business empire into the healthcare sector, with plans to establish 1,000-bed hospitals in both Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The initiative will be financed through the Adani family's earlier commitment of Rs 60,000 crore dedicated to healthcare, education, and skill development. The Adani Group's healthcare push will be anchored by the creation of 'Adani Healthcare Temples' — AI-first, 1,000-bed integrated hospitals beginning with Mumbai and Ahmedabad, Adani said while addressing the annual conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery-Asia Pacific in Mumbai. 'We are investing in modular, scalable infrastructure, of the kind that can expand rapidly in the face of pandemics or emergencies. We are championing the creation of large, world-class healthcare institutes that bring together innovation, patient care, and applied learning under one roof,' Adani said 'Human-centric insurance products that support and empower families will be a cornerstone of the new healthcare architecture we will do our best to build,' he said. 'India is facing a spinal epidemic,' Adani said, citing back pain as the country's leading cause of disability. 'We cannot rise if our people cannot stand.' The campuses, designed in partnership with the Mayo Clinic, will merge clinical care, academic training, and research into one ecosystem. They aim to set global benchmarks in affordability, innovation, and scale, he said. Adani urged medical professionals to join this transformation — whether by building AI-based spinal diagnostics, mobile rural operating theatres or next-gen surgical centres. 'We entered healthcare not because it lacked momentum, but because the momentum was not enough,' he said. 'This is not evolution. It's a revolution.'
