Ahmedabad, May 26: Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) on Tuesday announced the commissioning of a cumulative 3.37 gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, marking the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China.
The latest commissioning includes 1.37 GWh added in March 2026, taking AGEL’s total operational battery storage capacity at Khavda to 3.37 GWh.
The company said the project ranks among the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally, having been completed within 10 months of on-site construction.
AGEL said the battery storage system is designed to strengthen grid stability, support peak-hour electricity demand and enable reliable round-the-clock renewable power delivery.
Executive Director Sagar Adani said large-scale energy storage will play a critical role in India’s next phase of clean energy transition as renewable generation capacity continues to expand.
He said the company’s investments in battery storage reflect a long-term strategy to build resilient and globally scaled clean energy infrastructure.
According to AGEL, the 3.37 GWh system can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day and support electricity demand comparable to cities such as Indore and Chandigarh or the state of Goa.
The storage facility can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for 10 hours, highlighting its significance in supporting renewable-heavy electricity grids.
The BESS integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technology to optimise operational efficiency, grid responsiveness and reliability.
Strategically located at Khavda, the project complements AGEL’s broader renewable energy development plan, where the company is building a 30 GW renewable energy park by 2029. Of this, 9.9 GW capacity is already operational.
AGEL said it plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and expand this to 50 GWh over the next five years, reinforcing its focus on energy storage-led clean power infrastructure.
