Adani Green Commits Rs 15,000 Crore to Battery Storage, Aims for Over 10 GWh Capacity This Fiscal
Adani Green Energy Plans to Invest Rs 15,000 Crore in Battery Energy Storage Capacity
Adani Green Energy Ltd plans to invest approximately Rs 15,000 crore to add more than 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage capacity in the current financial year. This significant investment is part of the company's pivot towards delivering reliable, dispatchable clean power amid India's accelerating energy transition.
The proposed addition will be over and above the roughly 3 GWh of installed storage capacity the company expects to reach shortly, following the commissioning of 1.4 GWh during FY26. The batteries are being developed alongside renewable generation at Khavda in Gujarat, where Adani Green Energy is building what it describes as the world's largest renewable energy park.
The storage systems are aimed at supplying power during peak evening demand when solar output tapers, helping smooth load profiles and enable round-the-clock renewable energy. This investment reflects a broader shift in India's power sector, where the focus is moving from rapid renewable capacity addition to ensuring grid stability and reliable supply.

| Company | FY26 Renewable Energy Portfolio (GW) | FY30 Target Renewable Energy Portfolio (GW) |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Green Energy Ltd | 19.3 | 50 |
AGEL already has India's largest operational renewable energy portfolio with 19.3 GW of capacity, comprising 70 per cent solar, 13 per cent wind, and 17 per cent hybrid projects. During FY26, it generated 38 billion units of electricity, a 34 per cent increase from 28 billion units in the previous financial year.
The planned 10+ GWh of battery storage capacity will include 75 per cent that is backed by 25-year fixed tariff power purchase agreements (PPAs). This expansion into battery storage reflects AGEL's deliberate shift from viewing storage as a supporting asset to treating it as essential energy infrastructure.
By scaling up storage alongside generation, Adani Green Energy is positioning itself to deliver firm and flexible clean energy, aligning with the next phase of India's energy transition. As India's clean energy transition accelerates, the spotlight is shifting decisively from capacity addition to system reliability, with battery energy storage emerging as the critical enabler.
