Ahmedabad, March 7 (IANS) In a special engagement ahead of International Women’s Day, the Adani Group welcomed a delegation of women ambassadors from nine nations to the conglomerate’s projects in Khavda and Mundra, both in Gujarat, where they witnessed India’s strides in clean energy, infrastructure and industrial development.
The delegation first visited Khavda, a remote site in western India’s arid Kutch district, where Adani Green Energy, the largest renewables company in India, is developing the world’s largest clean energy plant.

They also visited Adani’s state-of-the-art solar manufacturing plant, a key project in India’s push for self-reliance in renewable energy.
