Adani Green Energy Limited has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda in Gujarat, marking the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and one of the fastest completed utility-scale projects globally.
The latest phase includes 1.37 GWh of additional storage capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking the company’s total operational battery storage capacity at the Khavda site to 3.37 GWh. The project was completed within just 10 months from the start of on-site construction.
The large-scale storage system is expected to play a key role in improving grid stability, ensuring reliable peak-hour power supply, and enabling renewable energy to provide uninterrupted electricity on a round-the-clock basis.
According to the company, the 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day. It can also support electricity demand equivalent to cities such as Indore or Chandigarh, or even the entire state of Goa during peak usage periods.
AGEL said the project uses advanced lithium-ion battery technology integrated with sophisticated energy management systems to improve efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness.
The battery storage facility is part of the company’s broader renewable energy expansion at Khavda, where it is developing what it describes as the world’s largest renewable energy plant with a planned capacity of 30 GW by 2029. Nearly 9.9 GW of that capacity is already operational.
Executive Director Sagar Adani said large-scale energy storage would become increasingly important as India expands renewable energy capacity and moves toward dependable clean power systems.
The company also announced plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage capacity during FY27 and scale up to 50 GWh over the next five years, reflecting growing demand for energy storage infrastructure as renewable energy adoption accelerates globally.
