installations and around 12% of India's combined utility solar and wind capacity, based on data as of May 31, 2026.
The 20 GW milestone is also equivalent to powering over 9 million households, with a carbon emissions offset of over 37 million tonnes annually and a carbon offset equivalent to 1,772 million trees or 8.1 million cars being taken off the road.
How Did Adani Green Manage to Achieve This Milestone
The company added 5,051 megawatts (MW) in FY26 alone; the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China. The journey started when AGEL commissioned its first renewable energy project in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in the year 2016. Since then, the organisation has become India’s largest and fastest-growing greenfield renewable energy platform.
AGEL's operational portfolio currently comprises approximately 14.2 GW of solar, 2.7 GW of wind, and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity. Additionally, the company has commissioned 3.55 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), which it describes as the world's largest such deployment outside China and one of the fastest executed globally.
Management Commentary of AGEL
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, said surpassing 20 GW demonstrates what disciplined execution and long-term vision can achieve. He added that AGEL, along with its team and long-standing partners, delivers renewable electricity almost equivalent to the annual power requirement of Mumbai and New Delhi combined, reinforcing India's energy security while accelerating its clean energy transition.
Khavda and the Road to 50 GW
The next phase of AGEL's growth is centred on Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat, which is the site of the world's largest planned renewable energy plant. Spread across 538 square kilometres of barren land, an area five times the size of Paris and almost as large as Mumbai, the Khavda project has a planned capacity of 30 GW. The company has already commissioned a 9.4 GW operational portfolio across solar, wind, and hybrid assets at the site, marking rapid execution toward its ultimate target.
On battery storage, AGEL plans to add 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and expand its total storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years. This storage build-out is aimed at supporting the company's target of 50 GW of operational renewable energy capacity by 2030 and at enabling more reliable, round-the-clock clean power supply.
