Adani Green Adds Record 5 GW Capacity, Boosts Portfolio to 19.3 GW

Ahmedabad, April 2026 : Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) on Wednesday announced a record addition of over 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity during the financial year 2025–26, taking its total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW. The expansion marks the highest greenfield annual capacity addition globally by any company outside China, reinforcing India’s growing leadership in the clean energy transition.

The newly added capacity includes 3.4 GW (3,409 MW) of solar power, 0.7 GW (686 MW) of wind energy, and 1 GW (956 MW) of wind-solar hybrid capacity. This significant addition is expected to offset nearly 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. With its total installed capacity now at 19.3 GW, AGEL estimates a cumulative annual carbon offset of approximately 36 million tonnes.

Executive Director Sagar Adani described the achievement as a defining moment for the renewable sector. He noted that the scale of expansion underscores India’s emergence as a global leader in clean energy and highlights the country’s accelerating shift towards a low-carbon economy while strengthening long-term energy security.

“This milestone strengthens our journey towards achieving 50 GW capacity by 2030,” he said, adding that the company remains focused on delivering sustainable and inclusive growth through renewable energy and storage solutions.

A major portion of the new capacity has been commissioned at AGEL’s massive renewable energy project in Khavda, Gujarat, which is being developed at a rapid pace. Spread across 538 square kilometres—an area nearly five times the size of Paris—the Khavda site is set to become the world’s largest renewable energy plant. Out of the planned 30 GW capacity at the site by 2029, AGEL has already installed 9.4 GW.

In addition to generation capacity, the company has also deployed 1,376 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at Khavda. This marks one of the world’s largest single-location energy storage installations and was completed within just eight months, enhancing grid stability and enabling better integration of renewable energy.

AGEL has incorporated advanced technologies at the project site to maximise efficiency. These include bifacial solar modules that generate power from both direct sunlight and reflected light from the ground, as well as solar trackers that optimise energy output throughout the day. The company is also deploying high-capacity 5.2 MW wind turbines, among the most powerful onshore units globally.

To improve sustainability, the project uses waterless robotic cleaning systems for solar panels, significantly reducing water consumption while maintaining high operational efficiency.

With its rapid expansion and focus on innovation, AGEL continues to strengthen its position as a key driver of India’s renewable energy ambitions, while setting new global benchmarks in large-scale clean energy development.
