Adani Green Adds Over Five Gigawatt Renewable Capacity In FY26

07 Apr 2026 CW Team

Adani Green Energy added over five gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy capacity in fiscal year 2026, taking its total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW and marking the highest greenfield annual capacity expansion globally outside China. The new capacity comprised three point four gigawatt of solar, zero point seven gigawatt of wind (686 megawatt (MW)) and one gigawatt of wind-solar hybrid capacity, reflecting a diversified clean energy build-out strategy. The additions underline a focus on scale and diversified site deployment across technologies.\n\nMost of the incremental capacity was commissioned at the Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat, which is emerging as the world’s largest renewable energy plant. At Khavda, the company had installed nine point four gigawatt (9,413 megawatt (MW)) of capacity out of a planned 30 gigawatt by 2029, highlighting strong progress towards one of the most ambitious renewable projects globally. The pace of commissioning indicates strong project management and supply chain coordination.\n\nThe company also completed an initial 1,376 megawatt-hour (MWh) of battery energy storage system capacity at the site within eight months of commencing work to help ensure grid stability and support renewable energy integration. The fresh capacity is expected to offset 10 million tonnes (mn t) of carbon emissions annually, while the entire operational portfolio of 19.3 GW is expected to offset 36 million tonnes (mn t) annually, reinforcing emissions reduction benefits. The deployment timeline illustrated rapid mobilisation of resources. The scale-up will support the company’s target of 50 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and contribute to national decarbonisation efforts.\n\nThe milestone reinforces rapid national progress in utility-scale solar, wind and hybrid assets and strengthens confidence in execution of large-format renewable infrastructure projects. Continued deployment of storage alongside generation capacity is expected to underpin integration and bolster energy security. Market observers consider the development a key indicator of private sector leadership in the energy transition.
