The Adani Group has announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector with a landmark 1,126 MW / 3,530 MWh installation, marking one of the world’s largest single-location energy-storage deployments and India’s biggest to date. The system will be capable of delivering full-capacity power for nearly three hours.

The project, which involves more than 700 BESS containers, is scheduled for commissioning by March 2026. It is in advanced stages of deployment at Khavda, the site of the world’s largest renewable-energy park. The installation uses cutting-edge lithium-ion technology integrated with advanced energy-management systems to ensure reliability, safety and optimal performance.

The BESS facility will support peak-load management, energy shifting and grid balancing, playing a crucial role in decarbonising the power sector and strengthening system stability.

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said that energy storage is the foundation of a renewable-powered future. “With this historic project, we are setting global benchmarks and reinforcing our commitment to India’s energy independence and sustainability. This initiative will help deliver reliable, clean and affordable energy at scale,” he said.

With this strategic move, the Group joins global energy leaders investing in large-scale storage infrastructure, marking a significant milestone in India’s clean-energy transition.

Building on this flagship deployment, the Adani Group plans to commission an additional 15 GWh of BESS capacity by March 2027, with a target of 50 GWh within the next five years, signalling its intent to become a major force in the global energy-storage landscape.
