Adani Green becomes first Indian firm to cross 15 GW renewable capacity
The company's current capacity can power about 7.9 million households and offset an estimated 28.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year. That is equivalent to taking 6.3 million cars off the road or the carbon absorption of 1.36 billion trees, AGEL said.
This comes 15 months after the company announced it had reached the 10,000 MW mark, making the latest addition of 5,000 MW the fastest ever by any Indian energy firm. Adani Green said it had added 3,309 MW in FY25 alone -- the highest annual renewable capacity addition by a single player in India to date.
Solar energy dominates clean energy
Of the current total, solar energy accounts for 11,005.5 MW, wind for 1,977.8 MW, and hybrid wind-solar projects for 2,556.6 MW. All additions have been made through greenfield development, the company said.
Commenting on the milestone, Adani Green Energy CEO Ashish Khanna said, 'We aim to accelerate even faster from 15,000 MW to 50,000 MW by 2030, remaining steadfast in our mission to power India and the world with sustainable energy solutions.'
Adani Green to build world's largest renewable energy plant
This announcement also coincides with AGEL's 10th year of operations. Its marquee projects include the 648 MW solar plant at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu (commissioned in FY16), the 2,140 MW hybrid project at Jaisalmer, Rajasthan (FY23), and the Khavda mega-plant, which is now under development.
Located in Gujarat's Kutch district, the Khavda project is central to AGEL's expansion plans. Set to be the world's largest renewable energy plant, the project spans 538 sq km and has already commissioned 5,355.9 MW with a target to reach a total capacity of 30,000 MW by 2029.
Overall, the company aims to reach 50 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030.

How Indian ecommerce brands can outdeliver Amazon using benchmarking
Most ecommerce brands in India have dashboards packed with data - delivery times, return rates and fulfilment costs. Yet, many still ask themselves: 'Are we really performing well? How do we compare to competitors? What are our customers experiencing?' Think about giants like Amazon and Walmart. They seem to deliver at lightning speed, and their supply chains appear invincible. But what's their real secret? Is it just advanced tech and massive infra? Or is there something more fundamental at play? The answer is relentless benchmarking - consistently measuring performance against the best and pushing for continuous improvement. Indian brands face a flood of data but often lack the clarity to interpret it. Without meaningful benchmarks, data is just noise. Many brands pour resources into metros but miss the fastest-growing markets, where logistics are more complex and costs higher. The question is: are we equipped to serve these new markets effectively, or are we assuming our metro-based strategies will work everywhere?Without region-specific benchmarks, high return rates and inefficient deliveries in these areas can eat into profitability. Data overload without actionable insight leads to decision paralysis - too many numbers, too little answer isn't more data but using it more effectively. We need to shift from data collection to insight-driven benchmarking - translating complex datasets into clear, comparative metrics. Track progress dynamically, not just against internal targets, but against evolving market and Walmart have built supply chains powered by relentless benchmarking. Their ability to deliver packages in hours, not days, stems from measuring and pushing to beat their best. Indian brands embracing benchmarking can similarly optimise investments, tailor strategies for local markets and unlock not just about the big players. Take India's beauty and personal care (BPC) sector, projected to reach $56 bn by 2031. This space is buzzing with innovation and rapid growth, and brands here need to know how they measure up. Understanding customer expectations and performance in key regions like Maharashtra (which recorded ₹221.41 cr in BPC invoice value) or Kerala can be a real game-changer. That's where benchmarking shines - giving these brands the insights they need to stay expect not just speed but reliability. The difference between a repeat customer and a lost sale often comes down to the delivery benchmarking their performance against expectations can close gaps, improve first-attempt delivery rates, reduce returns and build loyalty. It's no longer enough to meet internal targets - the market is setting the bar. Research from Gartner shows companies using advanced analytics and benchmarking can achieve 20% faster delivery times and up to 25% cost savings by 2026. McKinsey adds that such companies see up to 20% higher customer satisfaction, fuelling repeat business and sustainable growth. Data alone doesn't ignite change. What moves teams is seeing what's possible: a 98% first-attempt delivery success rate, halving return rates and outperforming the competition. When we see tangible proof of success, it fuels our motivation to achieve even more. Benchmarking is more than a metric, it's inspiration in ask yourself: are you flying blind, or do you have a compass guiding your logistics strategy? In India's competitive ecommerce market, those who benchmark smartly and act decisively will lead.
