Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has achieved a monumental milestone in India’s clean energy transition by expanding its total operational Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity to 3.37 GWh at Khavda, Gujarat. This massive expansion includes a significant 1.37 GWh addition completed in March 2026. This development establishes the facility as the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside of China, as well as one of the fastest-executed projects globally.
The newly expanded storage system is situated within AGEL’s ambitious 30 GW renewable energy park in Khavda, where 9.9 GW of capacity is already operational. This 3.37 GWh BESS is capable of storing enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day. Its immense capacity is equivalent to supporting the peak electricity demands of major cities like Indore and Chandigarh, or meeting the entire energy needs of the state of Goa.
This commissioning marks a critical step forward in strengthening grid reliability and securing peak-hour electricity supply. By effectively managing intermittency, the project enables renewable energy to deliver dependable, round-the-clock power at a massive scale. Looking ahead, AGEL has set aggressive growth targets, planning to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scaling up to 50 GWh over the next five years.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, emphasized that large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India’s clean energy journey. He noted that as renewable capacity scales rapidly, robust storage infrastructure becomes vital for delivering reliable power. Currently, AGEL operates India’s largest renewable portfolio, boasting 19.7 GW of solar, wind, hybrid, and storage solutions spread across 12 states.
