Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), has added over 5 GW of renewable energy capacity during FY26 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), the Adani Group entity said in a release.
AGEL said that this addition of 5,051 MW during FY26 has taken the company’s total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW [1 GW = 1,000 MW].
The quantum added in FY26 is the highest greenfield annual capacity addition globally by any company, outside China, the release said.
Capacity addition
The new capacity addition includes 3,409 MW) of solar, 686 MW of wind and 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, the release noted.
Khavda RE Park
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 sqkm, 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.
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.
Watershed moment
“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 Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL.
BESS capacity
Further, the company also brought online an initial 1,376 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 AGEL release added.
