Women Envoys Hail Diverse Workforce at Adani's Clean Energy and Infrastructure Projects

A delegation of women envoys from nine countries, including Luxembourg, Romania, and Slovenia, recently visited Adani Group's clean energy and infrastructure projects in Gujarat.

The delegates commended the increasing participation of women in the workforce, particularly in Adani Green Energy's cutting-edge renewable energy facility in Khavda, Kutch.

The visit, which took place ahead of International Women's Day, provided the ambassadors and high commissioners with an opportunity to witness firsthand the contributions of female engineers and self-help group (SHG) members supported by the Adani Foundation.

Their interactions highlighted the significant role women are playing in driving sustainable development and economic growth.

Adani’s Commitment to Gender Diversity and Workforce Empowerment

During their tour of the 30-GW clean energy plant at Khavda, the women envoys interacted with female engineers and discussed the importance of gender diversity in workplaces. They emphasized that workforce inclusivity is a crucial factor in a country's economic progress.

“The ambassadors saw firsthand how the renewables project is integrating cutting-edge technology with sustainable development, including the Energy Network Operations Centre (ENOC) overseen by women engineers,” the Adani Group stated.

Additionally, the delegation engaged with SHG women supported by the Adani Foundation, who are involved in various entrepreneurial and handicraft activities, fostering self-sufficiency and community upliftment.

Global Leaders Share Their Perspectives on Women’s Role in Development

Romanian Ambassador Sena Latif

"It was impressive to see the workforce of the Adani Foundation. We saw young engineers just recruited from the campus and brought to laboratories here. They are contributing to their family welfare but also to the whole social and economic development of India. It is very good news for the whole world."

She also emphasized how Adani Group’s initiatives have transformed non-cultivable land into thriving solar plants and industrial hubs, creating jobs and powering India’s economy.

Lesotho High Commissioner Lebohang Valentine Mochaba

"My message to you is that as a woman, you are the engineer of the society you are living in, the engineer of your family. You have to be brave, focused, and lead the nation in important roles."

Lithuanian Ambassador Diana Mickeviciene

"It was very inspiring to see how a barren, waste land has suddenly become a platform to serve the country—not just the limited community but all of India. Women are working at all positions in the group, from operational level to top management. It’s empowering to see women at the forefront of India's green transformation."
