This achievement is a testament to the Group’s commitment to facilitating India’s transition to renewable energy sources.

The Renewable Energy Transition:

The renewable energy transition brought about by the investments being made by the Adani Group in the renewable energy sector will ensure that reliable and affordable energy becomes available to homes in India. Industrial activities will also be triggered because of the availability of sufficient amounts of energy. Adani Green Energy Limited has also invested in various technologies directly related to helping us transition to cleaner energy sources. The company has been working significantly in the EV sector. Multiple charging stations have been set up in different locations in India. This would lead to an increase in the number of electric vehicles on the Indian streets. The company has collaborated with other big names in the EV sector. The Adani Group has also made significant investments in designing technologies leading to efficient renewable energy generation from solar and wind sources.

The Khavda Renewable Energy Park:

To reach 45 GW by 2030 and establish Adani monopoly in the renewable energy sector, the Adani Group is building the world’s largest renewable energy park at Khavda, Gujarat. This 30,000 MW project is a huge milestone towards redefining India’s renewable energy sector. It is also a benchmark for other business groups to take up similar initiatives in the sector. The renewable energy plant is built across 538 square kilometres. It is five times the size of Paris and almost the same size as Mumbai. It has already operationalised 2,000 MW of solar capacity within just a year of commencement of work on the project. The company’s operating portfolio is also certified zero waste-to-landfill and single-use plastic-free. It is also water-positive for plants with more than 200 MW capacity.
