Ahmedabad: July 01:Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has crossed a major milestone by becoming India’s first renewable energy company to surpass 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, reinforcing its leadership in the country’s clean energy sector.
According to the company, the milestone has been achieved predominantly through greenfield renewable energy development, highlighting AGEL’s rapid execution capabilities and long-term commitment to India’s energy transition.
The Adani Group company currently generates more than 52 billion units of clean electricity annually, enough to meet nearly 3 per cent of India’s total electricity consumption. The clean energy generated is almost equivalent to the annual power requirements of Mumbai and New Delhi combined, significantly contributing to India’s energy security and decarbonisation goals.
Commenting on the achievement, Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, said that surpassing 20 GW of operational capacity reflects disciplined execution, strategic planning and the dedication of the company’s workforce and long-term partners. He added that AGEL continues to play a crucial role in strengthening India’s energy security while accelerating the country’s transition to sustainable and renewable power.
The announcement comes shortly after Sagar Adani addressed the inaugural Adani Green Energy Dialogue during London Climate Action Week at The Science Museum, London, where he emphasised the importance of integrating renewable energy with large-scale battery storage to provide affordable, reliable and round-the-clock clean electricity.
AGEL achieved this milestone within just a decade of commissioning its first renewable energy project at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016. Since then, the company has emerged as India’s fastest-growing greenfield renewable energy developer.
During FY26, AGEL commissioned 5,051 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity, marking the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China.
The company’s operational portfolio currently includes approximately 14.2 GW of solar power, 2.7 GW of wind energy, and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid projects, creating a diversified renewable energy mix capable of delivering clean electricity across India.
AGEL has also made significant progress in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) by commissioning 3.55 GWh of storage capacity, representing the largest battery storage deployment outside China and one of the fastest executed globally.
Highlighting the growing importance of energy storage, Sagar Adani said that battery systems are becoming essential for ensuring reliable and dispatchable renewable power as clean energy contributes an increasing share of India’s electricity generation.
Looking ahead, AGEL plans to add 10 GWh of battery storage capacity during FY27 and expand its energy storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years, supporting its ambitious goal of achieving 50 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
The company’s flagship Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Kutch, Gujarat, which is being developed as the world’s largest renewable energy plant, will remain the centrepiece of AGEL’s future growth strategy.
Conclusion
By crossing 20 GW of operational renewable energy capacity, Adani Green Energy has set a new benchmark for India’s renewable energy sector. With continued investments in solar power, wind energy, hybrid projects and battery storage, the company is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in helping India achieve its clean energy and net-zero ambitions.
