Adani Group receives 'Net Zero Leadership' honour at India Climate Week 2026

Adani Group receives Net Zero Leadership honour at India Climate Week 2026 for its clean energy and decarbonisation efforts.

"This recognition reflects the Group's continued focus on advancing a low-carbon future through a science-based and scalable approach. - Dr Arun Kumar Sharma"

New Delhi, March 27

The Adani Group on Friday said it has been recognised with the Net Zero Leadership honour at the 'India Climate Samman' during the 'India Climate Week 2026' here.

The recognition was presented by Shripad Naik, Union Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy in the national capital, organised by the Carbon Markets Association of India.

Dr Arun Kumar Sharma, Group Head ESG, Adani Group, accepted the honour on behalf of the organisation.

"This recognition reflects the Group's continued focus on advancing a low-carbon future through a science-based and scalable approach," Dr Sharma said.

"The Group is accelerating investments in renewable energy, green hydrogen and integrated infrastructure while embedding decarbonisation across operations and value chains," he added.

The recognition highlights the Adani Group's efforts to expand clean energy capacity, develop green hydrogen capabilities and build sustainable infrastructure to support India's energy transition.

Adani Group continues to pursue its Net Zero ambition by driving decarbonisation across its businesses and scaling clean energy solutions, supporting India's transition towards a low-carbon economy and its broader Viksit Bharat vision of sustainable, self-reliant growth.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the Adani Group named as the official partner for the World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) 2026 -- an International Day by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and delivered by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO).

This is the first time an Indian organisation has been chosen by the WFEO to recognise the efforts of engineers on World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development.

"We are demonstrating that clean energy can be large-scale yet affordable, powerful yet inclusive. This is India's contribution to the world -- a model where progress and sustainability move forward together," said Sagar Adani, Executive Director, Adani Green Energy.

"Our Khavda renewable energy plant stands as an emblem of India's climate action. It reflects the collective strength of Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani New Industries working in unison to advance an integrated renewable future," Sagar Adani added.

I want to be optimistic, but we must hold such large corporations accountable. Awards are good, but what matters are the on-ground results and transparency in their ESG reporting. Hope this isn't just greenwashing.

Green hydrogen is the future! If Adani can crack that code for India, it will change our energy security game completely. This aligns perfectly with our goal of Viksit Bharat. Jai Hind!

As an expat working in sustainability here, it's impressive to see India's private sector stepping up like this. The partnership with UNESCO's World Engineering Day is a huge international endorsement. Well done!

The scale of their ambition is commendable. However, I hope this 'net zero' leadership also trickles down to their supply chains and smaller vendors. True sustainability is inclusive. The focus should be on creating green jobs for local communities around these massive plants.

Finally some positive news! Our engineers getting global recognition on World Engineering Day through an Indian company makes me proud. This is the kind of development we need - combining progress with care for our planet. 👏
