The Adani Group has plans to invest $10 billion in US energy and infrastructure projects, aiming to create up to 15,000 jobs, Chairman Gautam Adani said in a social media post on November 13.

Adani congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his victory, and underscored that the partnership between both nations are deepening, with the group looking at 'leveraging its global expertise' in projects in America that will ensure energy security and and resilient infrastructure.

"Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump. As the partnership between India and the United States deepens, the Adani Group is committed to leveraging its global expertise and invest $10 billion in US energy security and resilient infrastructure projects, aiming to create up to 15,000 jobs," Gautam Adani said in a post on X.

US oil and gas industry group - The American Petroleum Institute (API) - has called on President-elect Trump to do away with several policies of President Biden which are said to threatening jobs and energy security. During his victory speech on November 5, President Trump reiterated the Republican Party's stance on oil sector, summarising with the slogan, “Drill, baby, drill.” The United States produces more oil than any other country in the world, and Trump is promising to increase the production even further.
