05 Sep 2025 CW Team

This capacity includes 11,005.5 MW of solar, 1,977.8 MW of wind, and 2,556.6 MW of hybrid wind-solar assets across multiple Indian states. The Khavda project is part of AGEL’s ongoing phased development, reinforcing its dominance in the country’s utility-scale renewable sector.

According to Mercom India’s Solar Market Leaderboard 2025, Adani Green topped the list of utility-scale solar developers in 2024, accounting for 17.6 per cent of annual capacity additions. The company commissioned 2.6 GW, of which 2 GW came under its flagship 8 GW manufacturing-linked project in Khavda.

Financial and Strategic Expansion

Adani Green posted a 31 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue, rising from Rs 25.28 billion (~USD 291 million) in Q1 FY2025 to Rs 33.13 billion (~USD 382 million) in Q1 FY2026.

Expanding beyond solar and wind, the company is also venturing into pumped hydro storage (PHS). In February, it received a letter of award for the 1,250 MW Panaura PHS project in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, with a 40-year minimum commitment. Completion is expected within six years.

Other PHS projects underway include:

500 MW at Chitravathi River, Andhra Pradesh
1,500 MW at Tarali, Maharashtra
1,800 MW at Gandikota, Andhra Pradesh

Long-Term Financial Structuring

In March 2025, AGEL successfully refinanced USD 1.06 billion (~Rs 92.56 billion) for its wind-solar hybrid projects in Rajasthan. This was the company’s first construction finance facility, structured with a door-to-door tenor of 19 years, featuring a fully amortised debt model aligned with long-term project cash flows.

Adani Green’s continued expansion and diversification of clean energy assets reinforce its leading position in India’s energy transition journey, with a robust focus on scale, innovation, and sustainability.
