Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest pure-play renewable energy company, added more than 5 GW (5,051 MW) of renewable energy capacity in the financial year 2025–26, taking its total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW. This represents the largest greenfield annual capacity expansion globally by any company, excluding China.
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, while AGEL’s total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW will help offset around 36 million tonnes annually.
Most of the new capacity was commissioned at the world’s largest renewable energy plant being developed by AGEL in the barren land at Khavda, Gujarat. The project spans 538 sq km, 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 at the site.

“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,” said Sagar Adani, executive director, AGEL. “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.”
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 Khavda project deploys advanced bifacial solar modules, 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.
AGEL 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.
