In a post on social media site X (formerly known as Twitter), Adani said group companies Ambuja Cements and ACC are leading sustainable practices in the cement industry, adding that more than 90 percent of their production now recycles fly ash and slag. He further noted that the "significant shift" not only enhances the cement's environmental footprint, but also "marks a substantial step towards sustainability".
"We are committed to powering 60 percent of our cement production with renewable energy sources by 2028. This ambitious goal will establish us as a frontrunner in the global arena of sustainable cement production.," he added. Besides cement, in another post on December 6, Adani said the group's electricity business is also focused on sustainability, stating that "Adani Electricity stands out with its green initiatives".

"Currently, over 38 percent of our supply is green. This Diwali, we achieved a landmark by fuelling Mumbai entirely with 100 percent renewable energy, demonstrating our dedication to a sustainable future," he added.
