Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest pure-play renewable energy company, has achieved a significant milestone by adding over 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity in the financial year 2025-26. This expansion brings AGEL’s total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW, marking the highest greenfield annual capacity expansion globally by any company, excluding China.
The new capacity addition includes 3.4 GW of solar, 0.7 GW of wind, and 1 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity. This expansion is expected to offset approximately 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. AGEL’s total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW will result in a substantial annual carbon offset of 36 million tonnes.
Most of this new capacity was commissioned at the world’s largest renewable energy plant being developed by AGEL in Khavda, Gujarat. The project, spread across 538 square kilometres, is five times the size of Paris. Of the planned 30 GW by 2029 at Khavda, AGEL has already installed a cumulative capacity of 9.4 GW at the site.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, stated, “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. 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.”
Additionally, the company has 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. This capacity was commissioned within eight months of starting work at the site, supporting grid stability and renewable integration.
The Khavda project utilises advanced bifacial solar modules and 5.2 MW wind turbines, among the most powerful onshore units globally. The use of waterless robotic cleaning systems enhances operational efficiency by minimising water usage.
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.
