Adani Group has begun construction of India’s largest battery energy storage project in Khavda, Gujarat, with a massive capacity of 1,126 MW. The project, expected to be completed by March 2026, will significantly strengthen India’s renewable energy infrastructure and marks a major step forward in the country’s clean energy ambitions.
The Khavda facility will store electricity generated from solar and wind plants, ensuring a more stable and reliable power supply. With this project, Adani Group emerges as a key player in the energy storage sector. The company has also announced plans to develop up to 50 GWh of energy storage capacity over the next five years through similar initiatives.
Although the group has not revealed the total investment, industry experts estimate that a project of this scale could cost around ₹10,000 crore (approximately US $1.2–1.3 billion). This highlights the huge investments required to accelerate India’s shift toward renewable energy.
Adani Group, in a social media post, stated, “This project strengthens our commitment to India’s energy transition and ensures reliable clean power supply.” The system will integrate advanced technology from global partners to enhance safety and efficiency.
India aims to achieve 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030, and large-scale battery systems like the Khavda project are vital for balancing power generated from renewable sources. Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani said, “We want to build strong energy infrastructure that supports renewable power growth and helps the country meet its carbon goals.”
Once operational in 2026, the Khavda battery storage system will play a crucial role in stabilizing power supply as India expands its solar and wind energy network.
