Adani Power Ltd (APL) is expanding its installed power generation capacity to 30,670 MW by 2030, the company said in a release.
In a release announcing the company’s performance during the first quarter (Q1: April to June) of FY26, Adani Power Ltd said that it the capacity expansion to reach 30,670 MW by 2030 would be taking place by setting up a total capacity of 12,520 MW through seven brownfield and one greenfield project.
The release noted that the execution of three ultra-supercritical power plants of 1,600 MW (2×800 MW) each is in full swing at the existing sites at Mahan (Madhya Pradesh), Raipur and Rajgarh (both Chhattsigarh).
Besides, APL’s wholly-owned subsidiary Korba Power Ltd (KPL) has also received environmental clearance for revival of its 2×660 MW (1,320 MW) supercritical power project at Korba (Chhattisgarh) and recommenced project execution.
Land in possession
APL already possesses the required land at strategic locations for the 12,520 MW expansion, thus removing a critical bottleneck for project execution. Moreover, it has already secured supplies of key equipment like Ultra-supercritical boilers, turbines, and generators by giving advance orders to a leading Indian original equipment manufacturers, thereby ensuring timely capital equipment supplies. These proactive steps, coupled with the Adani Group’s in-house project management expertise, provide APL an unparalleled advantage to achieve capacity expansion in a timely and cost-effective manner, and meet India’s growing power demand with reliable and cost-effective supply.
Ultra-supercritical technology
The choice of Ultra-supercritical technology for the new power plants will enable APL to generate power with greater fuel efficiency, with a lower consumption of coal resulting in lower emissions for both fuel transportation and power generation. These projects, which are generating local employment opportunities and providing a boost to the regional economy, will also enable greater integration of renewable energy by providing grid-stabilising, base load and peaking power supply, the release said.
Operational capacity
As of June 30, 2025, Adani Power’s total operational capacity stood at 17,550 MW, up from 15,250 MW as of June 30, 2024. This increase of 2,300 MW was on account of the acquisition of:
- Moxie Power Generation Ltd (1,200 MW, Tamil Nadu)
- Korba Power Ltd (600 MW, Chhattisgarh)
- Adani Dahanu Thermal Power Station (500 MW, Maharashtra)
The total capacity has further grown to 18,150 MW in July 2025 upon completion of the acquisition of the 600 MW Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd in Maharashtra.
