Background :
Adani Green Energy Ltd has set an ambitious target to expand its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) capacity to over 7 GWh at its Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat by FY27. The company will invest ₹25,000–₹40,000 crore to support this expansion. With this plan, Adani Green aims to handle grid challenges better and increase its revenue.
The company plans to commission 3.5 GWh of battery storage capacity by the end of the current financial year. This project will become India’s largest battery storage facility once it starts operating. Adani Green officially entered the battery storage business at Khavda in November 2025.
Battery storage has emerged as a key focus for the company due to delays in grid augmentation, which have limited power evacuation from Khavda, located near the India–Pakistan border in Kutch district. According to Adani Green, storage systems will help absorb power that would otherwise face curtailment in the short term.
Ashish Khanna, CEO of Adani Green Energy, said battery storage offers flexibility until long-term evacuation infrastructure aligns with project commissioning. He noted that co-locating solar power generation with battery storage would allow the company to store energy and supply it during peak demand hours, improving overall revenue realisation.
The company also sees strong arbitrage opportunities by dispatching stored solar power when electricity prices are higher. This approach is expected to reduce risks linked to grid constraints and seasonal delays.
Grid evacuation remains a near-term challenge at Khavda, as planned transmission capacity additions have faced execution and right-of-way issues. To manage this, Adani Green is relying on battery storage as a risk-mitigation tool.
The BESS expansion forms a major part of the company’s capex roadmap for FY27. Adani Green said it has strong funding visibility, with debt already sanctioned to support upcoming expansion plans.
