Adani Ports claim its business will be “carbon neutral” by 2025⁵, despite the company owning the world’s biggest coal import terminal in Mundra, handling increasing volumes of coal at its ports, and planning further increases through new ports and expansions⁶.

Adani Enterprises is already the largest private coal mining company in India, with huge expansion plans. Adani is aggressively acquiring new coal mines, having purchased the rights to dig at least eight  new coal mines since 2020.⁸ Many of Adani’s proposed coal mines are in forest areas of deep cultural significance to local Indigenous communities and provide a home for some of the world’s most loved and endangered wildlife.

Together these power stations burnt through over 40 million tonnes of coal last year, spewing over 58 million tonnes of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.¹⁰

More than the total fossil fuel emissions of many entire nations including Serbia, Peru, Portugal, Singapore and Hong Kong.¹¹

When much of the world is closing coal-fired power plants, Adani is planning to build 6 more coal plants and coal plant expansions that will double their coal generation capacity. ¹²
