Adani Green Commissions Another 87.5 MW Solar at Khavda, Crosses 16 GW RE Capacity

Adani Green Energy, through its various step-down subsidiaries, has operationalized an aggregate 87.5 MW of power projects at Khavda, Gujarat.

In a regulatory filing, the company explained, “Adani Green, through its subsidiary Adani Renewable Energy Forty Five Limited, commissioned a 75 MW solar project, and through its other subsidiary, Adani Renewable Energy Fifty Six Limited, commissioned a 12.5 MW solar project. Thus, with the commissioning of these plants, AGEL’s total operational renewable generation capacity increased to 16,078 MW.”

Adani Green’s Previous Projects

Adani Green has been rapidly increasing the commissioning of its solar projects. Last week, the company operationalized a 125 MW solar power project at Khavda, Gujarat, through its subsidiary. Post-commissioning, the company reported an increase in AGEL’s total operational renewable generation capacity to 15,990.5 MW.

On the recent capacity commissioned by the company during Q1 FY ’26, Saurabh Shah, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), clarified that Adani Green’s CapEx for solar is in the range of Rs. 4.5 crores per MW, while for wind it is Rs. 6.5 crores per MW. “So, the current CapEx for the first quarter of the current year’s bookings was about Rs. 6,500 crores,” he said.

After Capacity Addition, Transmission Remains a Challenge in Khavda

With the target of adding 5 gigawatts (GW) in this fiscal year, most of Adani Green’s projects are coming up in Khavda. However, getting transmission to the last mile might emerge as the next challenge. Elaborating on this key challenge, Adani Green’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ashish Khanna, stated during an investor call, “I think it is very difficult to tie both things — your capacities with the transmission capacities. There will always be some lag of weeks or months in that process. Having said that, in the current context, yes, there is a little bit of a challenge coming from Khavda evacuation.”

More Capacity to Be Evacuated from Wind than Solar

Ashish Khanna said he foresees more capacity addition from wind than solar projects. Elaborating on this, he mentioned, “However, having said that, it's hardly less than 5% of our EBITDA as we speak. We are very closely monitoring and largely supporting how the evacuation from Khavda is progressing. And we do believe that this fiscal year, and much before that, there will be enough evacuation capacity for us to evacuate everything. So, we don't foresee a big challenge in the coming quarters. But yes, a few weeks here and there can always overlap in this process. The good part is that if you look at Q2, most of what is going to be evacuated will be wind rather than solar. And hence, that daytime challenge is also mitigated from that standpoint.”
