New Delhi: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has become the first Indian renewable energy firm to cross 15 gigawatts (GW) of operational capacity. With this, it now holds a total capacity of 15,539.9 megawatts (MW), making it the largest in the country’s clean energy space. The milestone was achieved largely through greenfield projects and marks the fastest and largest renewable capacity addition in India to date.
The company’s current portfolio comprises 11,005.5 MW of solar, 1,977.8 MW of wind, and 2,556.6 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
“Surpassing the 15,000 MW milestone is a moment of immense pride. This achievement is a testament to our team's relentless focus and dedication. It would not have been possible without the far-sighted leadership of our promoters and the unwavering support of our investors, customers, team and partners who have stood by us at every step,” said Ashish Khanna, CEO of Adani Green Energy.
“Inspired by Gautam Adani’s ambition to position Adani as the global leader in renewable energy, AGEL is committed to setting new benchmarks in innovation and operational excellence—proving that clean energy can be delivered at unprecedented scale and speed. We aim to accelerate even faster from 15,000 MW to 50,000 MW by 2030, remaining steadfast in our mission to power India and the world with sustainable energy solutions,” he added.
Adani Green is currently building the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda, Kutch, Gujarat. Spanning 538 square kilometres—five times the size of Paris—the Khavda facility is designed for a capacity of 30,000 MW. So far, the company has operationalised 5,355.9 MW at the site. Once fully complete, the Khavda installation will be the largest power plant globally, across all forms of energy.
Group chairman Gautam Adani recently said, “Adani Green is building the world’s largest renewable energy power right here in India and visible even from space. From Khavda to the world, our target of 50GW by 2030 is a proof that scale and sustainability can coexist. In fact, when we combine our thermal, renewable and pump hydro generation capacity, we expect to have a 100 GW capacity by 2030.”
AGEL’s continued expansion supports India’s target of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and reflects the growing scale of private sector involvement in the clean energy transition.
