1,126 MW / 3,530 MWh project set for March 2026 completion; Adani targets 50 GWh storage capacity within five years
Ahmedabad, November 11: The Adani Group has announced plans to develop India’s largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of 1,126 MW / 3,530 MWh at Khavda, Gujarat, marking a major milestone in the country’s renewable energy expansion.
The mega project, scheduled for completion by March 2026, is designed to stabilize grid reliability, enhance solar and wind integration, and support India’s transition toward 24×7 renewable power availability.
“This is a defining step in India’s clean energy story,” an Adani spokesperson said, noting that the company’s long-term goal is to achieve 50 GWh of energy storage capacity within five years.
🌞 Part of India’s Largest Renewable Cluster
Located within the Khavda Renewable Energy Park, already home to some of the world’s biggest solar and wind projects, the BESS will play a critical role in balancing intermittent renewable output and improving energy supply consistency.
Experts say this initiative will significantly aid India’s 500 GW renewable capacity target by 2030 and reduce dependence on coal-based peaking plants.
“Battery storage is the next frontier for India’s energy security. Adani’s scale and infrastructure strength make this a turning point,” said energy analyst R. Srinivasan from the Institute for Sustainable Power.
🔋 Project Details
Installed Capacity: 1,126 MW
Storage Capability: 3,530 MWh
Completion Timeline: March 2026
Location: Khavda, Kutch district, Gujarat
Future Goal: 50 GWh cumulative capacity in 5 years
Use Case: Renewable integration, grid balancing, and ancillary services
The system will store excess power generated from solar and wind farms during off-peak hours and discharge it during peak demand, helping stabilize the National Grid.
🌍 Adani’s Green Energy Push
The announcement aligns with Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL)’s commitment to scale up renewable and storage capacities amid global energy transition goals.
The company has already surpassed 10 GW of operational renewable capacity and is rapidly expanding across solar, wind, hybrid, and battery storage segments.
