AGEL surpasses 20 GW operational capacity;  equals ~14% of India’s utility-scale solar and ~12% of utility solar-wind capacity

AGEL surpasses 20 GW operational capacity; equals ~14% of India’s utility-scale solar and ~12% of utility solar-wind capacity

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India's largest renewable energy company, has surpassed 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first renewable energy company in India to achieve the milestone predominantly through greenfield development. The company generates over 52 billion units of clean electricity annually. The output represents nearly 3 per cent of India's electricity consumption, enough to power New York City for a year, or almost entire Mumbai and New Delhi combined.

 

The milestone comes within a decade of commissioning AGEL’s first renewable energy project at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016, making it India's largest and fastest greenfield renewable energy capacity addition. The company added 5,051 megawatts (MW) in FY26, the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China.

 

Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said: “Surpassing 20 GW demonstrates what disciplined execution and long-term vision can achieve. Today, AGEL, along with our efficient team and longstanding partners, delivers renewable electricity almost equivalent to annual power requirement of Mumbai and New Delhi combined, reinforcing the country's energy security while accelerating its clean energy transition."



"As renewable energy assumes a larger share of India's power mix, battery storage is becoming central to delivering reliable, dispatchable clean power, " Mr. Adani added. AGEL plans to add 10 GWh of battery storage in FY27 and expand its portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years, supporting its 50 GW renewable energy target by 2030.
