Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India's largest renewable energy company, has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat—the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and among the fastest executed globally. The project was delivered within just 10 months of commencement of on-site construction. The commissioning increases the company's total operational renewable generation capacity to 19,785.8 MW and total operational BESS capacity to 3,366 MWh (3.37 GWh).
The latest deployment includes the 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, with an additional 1,990 MWh added through three special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and a 50 MW solar project, all located at Khavda. The projects were commercially operationalized from May 26, 2026, following relevant clearances.
BESS and Solar Projects Operationalized
The 1,990 MWh BESS capacity was added via three SPVs, while a 50 MW solar energy project was simultaneously commissioned at Khavda. The following tables detail the newly operationalized capacities:
| Name of SPVs: | Type of Project | BESS Capacity (MWh) |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Renewable Energy Thirty Six Limited | BESS | 642 |
| Adani Renewable Energy Thirty Seven Limited | BESS | 1,042 |
| Adani Renewable Energy Forty Three Limited | BESS | 306 |
| Total | 1,990 |
| Name of SPVs: | Type of Project | Renewable Energy Capacity (MW) |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Green Energy Twenty Four Limited | Solar | 50 |
| Total | 50 |
Strategic Significance and Scale
The 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda is strategically located to further strengthen what is being developed as the world's largest renewable energy plant, where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational. The facility integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies to optimise efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness.
The scale of the deployment is substantial: AGEL's 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh, or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.

Leadership Commentary
Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said, "Large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India's clean energy transition. As renewable energy capacity scales rapidly, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, round-the-clock clean power. With the commissioning of the 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda, AGEL is strengthening the foundation for resilient, dispatchable and flexible energy systems. Our investments in battery storage reflect a long-term commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at global scale."
Outlook and Expansion Plans
The commissioning marks a major milestone in strengthening grid reliability, peak-hour supply, and enabling renewable energy to deliver dependable, round-the-clock power at scale. AGEL plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years. As renewable energy adoption accelerates globally, utility-scale battery storage is emerging as critical infrastructure for reliable clean energy delivery, with BESS helping address the variability of renewable output by storing extra energy and supplying it during peak demand.
