Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL), India's largest private transmission and distribution company, has secured a major inter-state transmission project worth INR 1,660 crore in Maharashtra. According to a regulatory filing by AESL, the company will develop critical infrastructure to support green energy evacuation from hydro-based projects in the region.
The project involves establishing 3,000 Mega Volt-Amperes (MVA) of substation capacity along with associated transmission infrastructure. This will take AESL's total transmission network to 26,696 circuit kilometers (ckm) and transformation capacity to 93,236 MVA, reinforcing its position as a key player in India's power transmission sector.
The project will be executed under a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) named WRNES Talegaon Power Transmission Ltd, which was officially transferred to AESL today. The infrastructure is expected to be commissioned by January 2028 and will play a vital role in evacuating 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of green power generated from upcoming hydro Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) in the region. This energy will serve the growing electricity demand of Mumbai and surrounding urban centers.
The project was awarded through the Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) mechanism under Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB), with REC Power Development and Consultancy Ltd (RECPDCL) acting as the bid process coordinator.
This win further strengthens AESL's portfolio and demonstrates its continued success in the competitive power transmission market. With this addition, the company's order book now stands at approximately INR 61,600 crore.
AESL is part of the diversified Adani Group and is known for its strategic focus on building sustainable and high-capacity transmission networks across India. The company has consistently expanded its footprint through a combination of organic growth and competitive bidding, aligning with the country's larger shift towards renewable energy integration and grid modernization.
By facilitating the transmission of hydroelectric power, the Talegaon project also contributes to India's broader decarbonization goals. It exemplifies AESL's role not just as a transmission company, but as an enabler of the country's energy transition.

Hero MotoCorp Struggles in Scooter Market Despite Aggressive Launch Strategy
Competitors continued to gain ground in the same month. Bajaj Auto reported a 73.2 per cent increase in April scooter sales, TVS rose 23.5 per cent, and Suzuki climbed 9 per cent. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Hero MotoCorp, one of India's top two-wheeler manufacturers, is grappling with a surprising downturn in scooter sales in FY25, even as the broader scooter segment recorded double-digit growth. According to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), Hero's scooter sales dropped by 2.3 per cent, slipping from 4,00,453 units in FY24 to 3,91,419 in FY25. This slump stands in stark contrast to the 17.4 per cent growth the overall scooter market experienced during the same period, with rival manufacturers making strong gains. Bajaj Auto saw its scooter volumes surge by 139.7 per cent to 2,77,183 units, while Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) posted a 12.4 per cent rise, reaching 2.84 million units. TVS Motor and Suzuki Motorcycle India also logged notable growth at 24.9 per cent and 14.8 per cent, respectively. Hero's decline comes despite the company's aggressive strategy of launching several new scooter models. The Xoom 110 debuted in January 2023, followed by the Destini 125 Prime in August 2023 and the Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports in March 2024. In January 2025, Hero introduced three more models—the Destini 125, Xoom 125, and Xoom 160. But the expanded portfolio has not translated into lasting traction in the market. While the new models briefly lifted Hero's scooter sales—showing 34.9 per cent growth in January 2025, 12.1 per cent in February, and 22.5 per cent in March—the momentum was short-lived. By April 2025, sales plummeted 43.3 per cent year-on-year, from 31,712 units to 17,978. Though the steep drop is partly due to a high base effect, the result remains starkly out of sync with the broader industry trend. Competitors continued to gain ground in the same month. Bajaj Auto reported a 73.2 per cent increase in April scooter sales, TVS rose 23.5 per cent, and Suzuki climbed 9 per cent. Even Ather Energy, the electric scooter company in which Hero has invested, grew its volumes by 44 per cent, delivering 155,405 units. With total scooter sales rising to 6.85 million in FY25, up from 5.84 million in FY24, and motorcycles growing at a slower pace of 5.1 per cent, the market signals a clear consumer pivot toward scooters.
