Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has capped a record-breaking fiscal year by operationalizing a final 951 MW block of projects, propelling its total operational renewable energy capacity to 19,294 MW. This final commissioning in March 2026 served as the cornerstone of a historic financial year for the utility, during which it added a total of 5,051 MW in greenfield capacity. This expansion reinforces AGEL’s position as India’s largest renewable energy player and sets a global benchmark for annual capacity additions by any company outside of China.
Breakdown of Recent 951 MW Commissioning
The 951 MW block commissioned at the close of the fiscal year was strategically distributed across two of India’s most resource-rich regions: 251 MW in Rajasthan and 700 MW in Gujarat. In Rajasthan, the capacity was added at sites in Barmer and the Baiya village of Jaisalmer, while the Gujarat addition was concentrated within the Khavda renewable energy cluster.
The commissioning was executed through several key subsidiaries, as detailed in the following table:
Subsidiary-Level Project Commissioning (951 MW Block)
| Subsidiary Involved | Capacity (MW) | Technology Type |
| Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer Five Limited | 50 MW | Solar |
| Adani Green Energy Twenty Four Limited | 100 MW | Solar |
| Adani Energy Twenty Five C Limited | 225 MW | Solar |
| Adani Energy Twenty Six A Limited | 300 MW | Solar |
| Adani Solar Energy Barmer One Limited | 251 MW | Solar |
| Adani Solar Energy Jodhpur Six Limited (Hybrid) | 25 MW | Hybrid |
FY26 Annual Growth Statistics
The 2025–26 financial year represented an aggressive scaling of AGEL’s infrastructure, with the total greenfield annual capacity addition of 5,051 MW marking a 35% year-on-year growth in total operational capacity. This performance represents a 1.5-fold increase compared to the 3,300 MW added during FY25.
The technology-wise breakdown of the FY26 additions is as follows:
- Solar: 3,412 MW
- Wind: 683 MW
- Wind-Solar Hybrid: 956 MW
This rapid expansion carries a substantial environmental footprint, with the new FY26 capacity expected to offset 10 million tonnes of annual carbon emissions. The total 19.3 GW portfolio is now projected to offset approximately 36 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually.
Strategic Project Site Details
Khavda, Gujarat
The Khavda site is the centerpiece of AGEL’s operational strategy. Known as the “World’s Largest Renewable Energy Cluster,” it spans 538 sq km—an area roughly five times the size of Paris. In FY26 alone, AGEL operationalized 4,613 MW at this site across solar, wind, and hybrid technologies, bringing the cumulative installed capacity at Khavda to 9.4 GW. The project is on track to deliver its planned 30 GW capacity by 2029.
Rajasthan
In Rajasthan, the company added 438 MW during the fiscal year. This includes development at the Adani Bandha solar PV park in Baiya (Jaisalmer), a ground-mounted installation spanning over 2,300 hectares, as well as projects in Barmer.
Technical Specifications
AGEL has deployed advanced technologies at the Khavda site to ensure peak efficiency in harsh desert conditions:
- Bifacial solar modules: Designed to capture sunlight from both sides of the panel.
- Solar tracking systems: Implemented to optimize generation by following the sun’s trajectory.
- 5.2 MW wind turbines: Among the most powerful onshore units globally.
- Waterless robotic cleaning systems: Deployed to ensure near-zero water usage for module maintenance while maximizing operational uptime.
Operational Portfolio and Infrastructure Metrics
The 19,294 MW portfolio is managed through high-performance operational metrics that emphasize reliability. In FY26, the company successfully delivered 106% of the required generation for its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) based capacity. The reported metrics for the fiscal year include:
- Solar CUF: 24.0% (with 99.2% plant availability).
- Wind CUF: 26.6% (with 95.6% plant availability).
- Hybrid CUF: 35.2% (with 98.5% plant availability).
Furthering its focus on grid stability, AGEL operationalized 1,376 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at the Khavda site within a specialized eight-month rollout. The company has outlined plans to aggressively expand this storage capacity to over 10 GWh by FY27.
Institutional Standings and Targets
AGEL remains committed to a strategic target of 50 GW operational capacity by 2030. The company’s focus on sustainable, large-scale deployment has earned it several top-tier global and national rankings:
- Global Top 100 Green Utilities: Ranked first in the 2025 list by Energy Intelligence.
- NSE Sustainability Ratings: Identified as India’s top sustainability performer in the power sector for the second consecutive year.
- CareEdge ESG Rating: Achieved an ESG 1+ rating (the highest possible) with a score of 87.3.
