Summary:
Adani Green Energy has become the first renewable energy company in India to cross 20 GW of operational capacity after commissioning new solar and battery storage projects in Khavda, Gujarat. The company now generates over 52 billion units of clean electricity annually, powering more than 9 million homes. The milestone strengthens AGEL’s leadership in India's renewable energy sector and supports the country's clean energy transition.
Agni Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has emerged as the first renewable energy company in India to achieve 20 GW of renewable energy capacity, which is considered a landmark achievement for the company as well as India in terms of its clean energy revolution. With the commercial commissioning of 156 MW renewable energy and 185 MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects in Khavda, Gujarat, AGEL has achieved 20,141.80 MW of renewable energy operational generation capacity and 3,551 MWh of BESS operational capacity. The projects have been declared commercially operational at 10:15 p.m. on June 30, 2026.
Portfolio Generates Over 52 Billion Units of Clean Electricity
The firm stated that its current operation portfolio currently supplies more than 52 billion units of electricity per year, which is about 3% of the country’s total yearly electricity consumption. AGEL further stated that the produced electricity is enough to meet the needs of more than 9 million homes and is just short of the annual power needs of both Mumbai and New Delhi cities or even the whole city of New York for a whole year. In addition, the clean energy has the effect of reducing more than 37 million metric tons of carbon emissions per year, which is like planting 1,772 million trees.

Fastest Greenfield Capacity Addition in India
The feat is accomplished in the period of less than a decade since the completion of the commissioning of AGEL's first renewable energy plant in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016. In the year FY26, the company installed 5,051 MW of renewable energy plants, which is the largest addition of capacity in any one year in the company other than China.
Solar, Wind and Battery Storage Expansion
This accomplishment is achieved less than a decade after AGEL initiated its first renewable energy project at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016. In FY26, the firm increased its renewable energy capacity by 5,051 MW, the largest increase by any company apart from China. AGEL claims that its current portfolio constitutes about 14% of India’s utility scale solar capacity and 12% of its utility scale solar & wind capacity.
Khavda Emerges as AGEL's Largest Growth Project
According to AGEL, the Khavda in Kutch district of Gujarat continues to be the focal point of its growth strategy. The renewable energy plant would be the world’s largest renewable energy plant, with a combined capacity of 30 GW in an area covering 538 square km, which is almost five times larger than that of Paris and almost the same as that of Mumbai. Till date, AGEL has installed 9.5 GW of solar capacity here, accounting for over 30% of the planned capacity of the plant.
Management Commentary and Project Journey
Speaking about the achievement, Mr. Sagar Adani stated that crossing 20 GW is a result of disciplined execution and vision of the company. Moreover, he pointed out that the renewable energy generation of AGEL ensures India’s energy security while pushing the country towards a cleaner energy transition. Additionally, he noted that battery storage would be an important part of providing constant renewable power as more clean energy would make up the total Indian power generation.
Since its establishment, AGEL has created a number of unique renewable projects including 648 MW Kamuthi Solar Park which was created in FY16, and then there was 2.1 GW Jaisalmer renewable energy cluster created in FY23. Currently, AGEL is implementing 30 GW Khavda renewable energy park and runs 3.55 GWh BESS at the same site. This makes the company India’s biggest renewable energy company.
