Editor’s Synopsis
- Achieves new annual capacity addition of 5 GW+ (5,051 Megawatts), the highest by any company globally in a
single year, excluding China
- Operational portfolio rises to 19.3 GW, reinforcing market leadership in India’s renewable sector
- Scale anchored by rapid execution at the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda, Gujarat
Ahmedabad, 1 April 2026: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest pure-play renewable
energy company, added 5 GW+ (5,051 MW) of renewable energy capacity in the financial year 2025–26, taking its total
operational portfolio to 19.3 gigawatts (GW). It is the highest greenfield annual capacity expansion globally by any
company, excluding China.
The new capacity addition includes 3.4 GW (3,409 MW) of solar, 0.7 GW (686 MW) of wind and 1 GW (956 MW)
of wind-solar hybrid capacity. It is expected to offset around 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions
annually, and AGEL’s total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW will result in a massive annual carbon
offset of 36 million tonnes.
Most of the new capacity was commissioned at the world’s largest renewable energy plant being developed
by AGEL at an accelerated pace in the barren land at Khavda, Gujarat. Built across 538 sq kms, the
project is spread across an area five times the size of Paris. Out of the planned 30 GW by 2029 at
Khavda, AGEL has already installed cumulative capacity of 9.4 GW (9,413 MW) at the site.
“Our addition of over 5 GW of new capacity marks a watershed moment for India’s renewable energy sector, placing the
country firmly on the global map of leading the clean energy transition. It marks a significant leap in accelerating
the country’s shift to a low-carbon economy and strengthening energy security. Our team’s dedication and hard work
have enabled this landmark achievement, and they have consistently proved that ultra large-scale renewable energy
deployment is not only possible but also executable. This milestone strengthens our progress towards our target of
50 GW by 2030, while continuing to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth through renewables and energy storage
solutions.” said Mr Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL.
Further, the company also brought online an initial 1,376 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems
(BESS) at Khavda, one of the world’s largest single-location deployments. The capacity was commissioned within eight
months of starting work at the site, supporting grid stability and renewable integration.

The Khavda project deploys advanced bifacial solar modules, which generate electricity from both sides by capturing
sunlight directly and from reflections off the ground, along with solar trackers to maximise electricity generation.
It also deploys 5.2 MW wind turbines, among the most powerful onshore units globally. The use of waterless robotic
cleaning systems leads to near zero usage of water for module cleaning and improves operational efficiency.
AGEL continues to strengthen its environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. The company was ranked first
in the Global Top 100 Green Utilities list for 2025 by Energy Intelligence and retained its position as India’s top
sustainability performer in the power sector for the second consecutive year by NSE Sustainability Ratings and
Analytics.
