Sagar Adani, Executive Director, Adani Green Energy, said,"We are playing a pivotal role in India's renewable energy growth, which is evident from our historic 3.3 GW greenfield capacity addition in FY25. We contributed 16% to the nation's utility-scale solar and 14% to wind energy additions, setting new benchmarks for rapid, large-scale renewable energy deployment."
He said, "We are progressing well to develop the world's largest renewable energy plant of 30 GW by 2029 at Khavda, Gujarat having operationalized 4.1 GW of solar and wind capacity within two years of commencing construction. We delivered high solar capacity utilisation factor (CUF) of 32.4% in Q4 FY25. This underscores the site's high resource potential harnessed by deploying advanced technologies such as bifacial n-type modules, horizontal single-axis trackers (HSAT), and waterless robotic cleaning systems. Aligned with our circular economy framework, we achieved water positivity across our entire operational portfolio ahead of our FY26 target, a testament of our commitment to achieve the ESG objectives."
According to the release, AGEL has consistently expanded its greenfield capacities backed by advanced resource planning, engineering, and supply chain management, with project management, execution and assurance from our partners, Adani Infra India Ltd (AIIL).
"Operational Capacity expanded by an impressive 30% YoY to 14.2 GW and to increase to 15.2 GW with an additional 1 GW near completion, putting us on track to achieve 50 GW target. The greenfield additions in FY25 included 1,460 MW of solar capacity and 599 MW wind capacity in Khavda, 1,000 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan and 250 MW of solar capacity in Andhra Pradesh," it said.
The energy sales increased by 28% YoY propelled by the robust capacity additions and strong operational performance, it said.

"AGEL has consistently generated electricity exceeding the overall annual commitment under the power purchase agreements (PPA). In FY25, AGEL's PPA based electricity generation was 107% of the annual commitment," said the release.
"AGEL's O&M is driven by advanced technology with Energy Network Operation Center enabling real time monitoring of the renewable plants across the country. This has not only enabled consistent higher plant availability in turn resulting in higher electricity generation but also led to reduction in O&M cost resulting in industry-leading EBITDA margin of 92%," the company said.
AGEL is developing a massive 30 GW renewable energy plant at Khavda in Gujarat. This is spread over an area of 538 sq km, almost 5 times the city of Paris. This project will set a global benchmark for the development of ultra large-scale renewable energy plants.
It noted that, in a mere 2 years from breaking ground, AGEL has operationalized 4.1 GW solar and wind capacity. With robust manpower deployment, localized supply chain and advanced technologies like robotic solar module installation, AGEL is on a firm track to achieve 30 GW RE capacity in Khavda by 2029 setting a global benchmark for the speed of execution at such a large scale.
AGEL refinanced USD 1.06 Billion (Bn) maiden construction facility with long-term financing. AGEL refinanced its maiden construction facility, instrumental in developing the world's largest solar-wind hybrid renewable cluster in Rajasthan. This long-term financing represents door-to-door tenure of 19 years with fully amortized debt structure and is well aligned with the cash flow lifecycle of the underlying asset portfolio. On the back of the strong operational performance track record, the facility has been rated AA+ by three domestic rating agencies.
This breakthrough completes the capital management program for the underlying asset portfolio. This strategic program has proven to be the main catalyst for AGEL's sustained growth and is vital to achieving its long-term growth objectives.
