Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has crossed 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first renewable energy company in India to achieve the milestone predominantly through greenfield development.
The milestone comes within a decade of commissioning its first renewable energy project at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016, making it the country’s largest and fastest greenfield renewable energy capacity addition.
Clean energy scale
The company generates more than 52 billion units of clean electricity annually, accounting for nearly 3% of India’s electricity consumption.
During FY26, AGEL added 5,051 MW of renewable energy capacity, the highest annual addition by any company outside China.
Operational portfolio
Its operational portfolio comprises about 14.2 GW of solar, 2.7 GW of wind and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
The company has also commissioned 3.55 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), the world’s largest deployment outside China.
Leadership comment
“Surpassing 20 GW demonstrates what disciplined execution and long-term vision can achieve. Today, AGEL delivers renewable electricity almost equivalent to the annual power requirement of Mumbai and New Delhi combined, reinforcing the country’s energy security while accelerating its clean energy transition,” Adani Green Energy Executive Director Sagar Adani said.
He added that battery storage would play a critical role as renewable energy’s share in India’s power mix increases.
Expansion plans
AGEL plans to add 10 GWh of battery storage in FY27 and expand its storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years, supporting its target of achieving 50 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
