Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat, marking the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China.
The project, which includes 1.37 GWh commissioned in March 2026, was completed in just ten months from the start of on-site construction, Adani Group stated in a press release. This feat is one of the fastest utility-scale BESS deployments globally. The system strengthens grid reliability and enables round-the-clock supply of clean, renewable power.
Adani has a 30 GW renewable energy project at Khavda, of which 9.9 GW is already operational. The latest deployment of 3.37 GWh BESS can store sufficient energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day or light more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.
Adani Group has big plans for the Khavda park. AGEL plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale up to 50 GWh over the next five years.
“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”, stated Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL.
AGEL currently operates 19.7 GW of renewable capacity across India, spread across 12 states. Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) is India’s largest and one of the leading renewable energy companies in the world, enabling the clean energy transition. AGEL develops, owns, and operates utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid and energy storage solutions.
The deployment underscores the growing importance of battery storage in addressing the intermittency of renewable energy and supporting India’s decarbonisation goals.
