Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) has secured a ₹8,500 crore inter-state transmission project in Andhra Pradesh, awarded through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) framework. The contract, announced on July 24, 2026, is designed to support an estimated power demand of 4,500 MW from proposed green hydrogen, green ammonia, and emerging data centre infrastructure in the Vizag region. This win pushes AESL’s total transmission orderbook to over ₹80,000 crore, reinforcing its position as India’s largest private transmission company.

The project, titled "Transmission System for Proposed Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia Projects in Vizag Area, Andhra Pradesh (Phase-I)," will be executed under the special purpose vehicle Vizag Power Transmission Ltd. It involves establishing a 4×1500 MVA, 765/400 kV GIS substation at Pendurthi (Vizag) and a 3×1500 MVA, 765/400 kV Khammam-II substation. The scope includes adding 1,582 ckm of transmission lines and 10,500 MVA of transformation capacity to AESL’s network.

Strategic Impact on Network

With this addition, AESL’s cumulative transmission network expands to 29,531 ckm of lines and 1,33,675 MVA of transformation capacity. The project addresses critical grid stability needs for the Pendurthi–Vizag region, which is seeing significant investment in AI, hyperscale data centres, and subsea connectivity. CEO Kandarp Patel stated that the project builds the energy backbone for India’s next generation of industrial growth, supporting cleaner energy molecules and digital infrastructure.

What the Numbers Show

The ₹8,500 crore contract represents a substantial addition to AESL’s pipeline, contributing directly to its reported orderbook exceeding ₹80,000 crore. The focus on green hydrogen and ammonia aligns with India’s broader energy transition goals, while the simultaneous support for data centres highlights the dual demand drivers—industrial decarbonization and digital infrastructure—shaping future transmission requirements. The 30-month delivery timeline suggests a rapid execution phase to meet the anticipated 4,500 MW load.

AESL continues to diversify beyond transmission into distribution, smart metering, and cooling solutions, currently serving approximately 13 million consumers in Mumbai and Mundra SEZ.
