Ahmedabad, May 26: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) on Tuesday announced the commissioning of a cumulative 3.37 gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda in Gujarat, marking one of the world’s largest single-location battery storage projects outside China.
The latest milestone includes an additional 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, strengthening AGEL’s position in large-scale renewable energy storage and grid reliability.
The company said the battery storage system is capable of storing enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, while also supporting peak electricity demand in cities such as Indore and Chandigarh, or even the entire state of Goa.
“This marks an important step in India’s clean energy transition,” said Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL. “As renewable energy capacity expands rapidly, energy storage will become essential for ensuring reliable and round-the-clock supply of green power.”
The battery storage project was completed within just 10 months of on-site construction, making it one of the fastest utility-scale battery deployments globally.
According to the company, the project integrates advanced energy management systems and lithium-ion battery technology to improve efficiency, flexibility and grid responsiveness. The storage facility is strategically located at Khavda, where AGEL is developing what it describes as the world’s largest renewable energy plant with a planned capacity of 30 GW by 2029. Around 9.9 GW is already operational at the site.
AGEL also announced plans to significantly expand its storage footprint, targeting more than 10 GWh of additional battery storage capacity in FY27 and scaling it up to 50 GWh over the next five years.
The development is expected to strengthen grid stability, support peak-hour electricity demand and accelerate India’s transition towards a cleaner and more resilient energy ecosystem.
