AGEL is developing the world’s largest renewable energy project of 30,000 MW on barren land at Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat. Built across 538 sq km, it is five times the size of Paris and almost as large as Mumbai city. It has operationalized 2,000 MW cumulative solar capacity (i.e., over 6 percent of the planned 30,000 MW) within 12 months of commencing work. Work at Khavda continues at a fast pace, with AGEL leveraging the project execution capabilities of Adani Infra, the manufacturing expertise of Adani New Industries Ltd, the operational excellence of Adani Infrastructure Management Services Ltd, and the robust supply chain of its strategic partners.

“We are proud to be India’s first das hazari in the renewables space,” commented Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. “In less than a decade, Adani Green Energy has not just envisioned a greener future but has actualized it, growing from a mere idea to explore clean energy to achieving a phenomenal 10,000 MW in installed capacity. This achievement is a demonstration of the rapidity and scale at which the Adani Group aims to facilitate India’s transition to clean, reliable, and affordable energy. In our drive towards 45,000 MW by 2030, we are building the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda—a 30,000 MW project unparalleled on the global stage. AGEL is not just setting benchmarks for the world but redefining them.”
