Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, has crossed a significant milestone by reaching an operational portfolio of 12,258.1 megawatts (MW) with the commissioning of an additional 275 MW solar capacity at Khavda, Gujarat. This makes AGEL the first renewable energy company in India to achieve this landmark.
The portfolio comprises 8,347.5 MW of solar capacity, 1,651 MW of wind capacity, and 2,259.6 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity, according to a company statement. This milestone highlights AGEL’s commitment to delivering 50,000 MW of clean, affordable, and reliable power by 2030.
The company’s current operational capacity can power o
ver 6.2 million homes and prevent approximately 22.64 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 1,078 million trees.
Adani Green’s achievement represents the largest greenfield expansion in India’s renewable energy sector, accounting for nearly 10% of the country’s installed utility-scale solar and wind capacity and over 13% of its solar installations.
AGEL is developing the world’s largest renewable energy plant, with a planned capacity of 30,000 MW, spread across 538 square kilometers in Khavda, Gujarat. The plant’s area is five times the size of Paris and nearly as large as Mumbai. Once completed, it will be the largest power plant across all energy sources globally.
So far, AGEL has operationalized 2,824.1 MW of renewable energy at Khavda, with work progressing rapidly. The company leverages the execution capabilities of Adani Infra, the manufacturing expertise of Adani New Industries Limited, and the operational excellence of Adani Infrastructure Management Services Ltd.
"The accelerated progress at Khavda underscores AGEL’s commitment to supporting India’s ambitious target of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030," the statement said.
AGEL continues to record the fastest greenfield renewable capacity addition in India, with its rapid development at Khavda and other project sites driving sustained growth momentum for the country’s clean energy landscape.
