Adani Green Energy adds over 5 GW capacity in FY26, taking total portfolio to 19.3 GW

Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL), India’s largest pure-play renewable energy firm, added more than 5 GW (5,051 MW) of capacity in FY25–26, taking its total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW. The expansion marks the highest greenfield annual capacity addition globally by any company, excluding China. 

The newly added capacity includes 3.4 GW (3,409 MW) of solar, 0.7 GW (686 MW) of wind, and 1 GW (956 MW) of wind-solar hybrid projects. The addition is expected to offset around 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually while AGEL’s total portfolio is projected to offset nearly 36 million tonnes each year. 

A significant portion of the capacity was commissioned at AGEL’s renewable energy project in Khavda, touted as the world’s largest renewable energy plant under development. Spread across 538 sq km, about five times the size of Paris, the project has reached a cumulative installed capacity of 9.4 GW (9,413 MW) out of a planned 30 GW by 2029. 

“Our addition of over 5 GW of new capacity marks a watershed moment for India’s renewable energy sector, strengthening the country’s position in the global clean energy transition,” said Sagar Adani. "This milestone accelerates India’s shift to a low-carbon economy and enhances energy security, while reinforcing our target of achieving 50 GW capacity by 2030.” 

The company also commissioned an initial 1,376 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at Khavda, among the world’s largest single-location deployments, within eight months of project initiation, supporting grid stability and renewable integration. 

The Khavda project utilises advanced bifacial solar modules and solar tracking systems to maximise generation, along with 5.2 MW wind turbines among the most powerful onshore units globally. It also employs waterless robotic cleaning systems, significantly reducing water usage and improving operational efficiency. 

AGEL continues to strengthen its ESG credentials, ranking first in the Global Top 100 Green Utilities list for 2025 by Energy Intelligence and retaining its position as India’s top sustainability performer in the power sector for the second consecutive year by NSE Sustainability Ratings and Analytics.
