In a high-stakes sprint to the end of the fiscal year, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has successfully energized an aggregate 360.5 MW of renewable energy capacity and integrated 1,376 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Following a final operational decision reached at 10:43 p.m. on March 31, 2026, the projects officially commenced power generation on April 1, 2026. This eleventh-hour commissioning pushes AGEL’s total operational renewable portfolio to a massive 19,293.8 MW, while establishing a foundational 1,376 MWh of dispatchable storage capacity.
Project Infrastructure Breakdown
The new capacity additions are concentrated in the high-resource corridors of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Notably, the Khavda commissioning represents a sophisticated solar-wind hybrid integration, a key technical differentiator in AGEL’s strategy to maximize grid stability and resource utilization.
| Location | Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) | Capacity & Type |
| Bandha, Rajasthan | Adani Green Energy Twenty Five B Limited | 137.5 MW Solar |
| Khavda, Gujarat | Adani Green Energy Twenty Six A Limited | 108 MW Solar |
| Khavda, Gujarat | Adani Green Energy Twenty Five C Limited | 50 MW Solar & 65 MW Wind |
| Aggregate Total | – | 360.5 MW |
Advanced Storage: 1,376 MWh BESS Integration
To mitigate the inherent intermittency of solar and wind generation, AGEL has operationalized 1,376 MWh of BESS at the Khavda cluster. Measured on a dispatchable basis, this storage capacity is critical for maintaining the “Must Run Status” of the portfolio as mandated by the Electricity Act, 2003.
The storage infrastructure was delivered through two primary SPVs:
- Adani Renewable Energy Forty Three Limited: 953 MWh
- Adani Renewable Energy Thirty Seven Limited: 423 MWh
By utilizing AI-based learning capabilities via AIMSL (Adani Infrastructure Management Services Ltd), these BESS units enable real-time grid balancing. This technical sophistication contributes to AGEL’s industry-leading performance, exemplified by a 92% EBITDA margin from power supply operations.
FY26 Growth Trajectory: The Q4 Sprint
The commissioning of these projects marks the culmination of an unprecedented year of growth. AGEL has achieved a total milestone of 5,051 MW (5.05 GW) in capacity additions for FY26.
This represents a significant acceleration in execution speed. While the 2,995 MW of greenfield capacity added in the first nine months of FY26 already surpassed 90% of the previous year’s total, the final quarter saw a massive 68% surge in additions to reach the 5.05 GW year-end total.
Current Operational Portfolio:
- Renewable Generation Capacity: 19,293.8 MW (19.3 GW)
- BESS Storage Capacity: 1,376 MWh
Technical Profile: The Khavda Renewable Energy Marvel
The Khavda site in Gujarat is the centerpiece of AGEL’s 50 GW by 2030 target. Described as a “Renewable Energy Marvel,” the cluster’s scale and technical specifications are without domestic parallel:
- Scale and Scope: Spanning 538 sq. km—five times the size of Paris—with a target capacity of 30 GW by 2029.
- Resource Yield: Strategically located to tap solar irradiation of ~2,060 kWh/m2 and average wind speeds of ~8 meters/second.
- Grid Integration: Evacuation is supported by a robust internal infrastructure, including 765 kV high-capacity transmission lines and a seamless connection to the national central grid.
- Digitalization: The site features India’s largest centralized control room, leveraging robotics and AI/ML-driven analytics for predictive O&M and real-time performance monitoring.
