In his concluding remarks to the shareholders, Mr Adani said, "A nation's future is not written in policy documents - it is written in the risks its entrepreneurs dare to take. We are not laying concrete. We are laying conviction - highways that carry ambition, ports that ship hope, and grids that light up futures."

"And history should remember us - not for the size of our balance sheet, but for the strength of our backbone. Not for the markets we entered, but for the storms we handled and emerged stronger. For it is easy to lead in sunshine, but true leadership is forged in the face of crisis," he added.

Mr Adani started his speech with a salute and bow. He remembered both the selfless service of men and women in uniform during Operation Sindoor and the Air India plane crash that killed 241 people on board.
