Adani Group Bets Big On Battery Storage: Adani Group on Tuesday made a big announcement of its entry into the battery energy storage sector (Battery Energy Storage System – BESS). The group is going to set up a mega BESS project with 1,126 MW/3,530 MW-h capacity at Khavra in Gujarat. This project will not only be India’s largest, but is also considered to be one of the largest single-location energy storage projects in the world.
Big bet on battery energy storage
According to the group, the facility will have more than 700 BESS containers and is planned to be operational by March 2026. This will be part of the Khavra Renewable Energy Complex, which is being described as the world’s largest renewable energy plant. The power capacity of this project will be 1,126 MW and energy efficiency will be 3,530 MW-hour. This means that this system will be able to store 3,530 megawatt-hours of energy, which will extend the power capacity of 1126 MW for about three hours.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said that energy storage is the cornerstone of a renewable energy-based future. Through this landmark project, we are not only setting global standards, but also strengthening our commitment towards India’s energy independence and sustainability. He further said that these initiatives will enable the Group to provide reliable, clean and affordable energy solutions on a large scale.
50 gigawatt-hour capacity in 5 years
The group also said that it plans to increase its storage capacity to 15 gigawatt-hour by financial year 2026-27 and to 50 gigawatt-hour in the next five years. This target reflects the Group’s long-term ambitions in the area of clean energy infrastructure in India.
With this strategic initiative, Adani Group now joins the ranks of global energy companies that are investing in large-scale storage infrastructure. This step is being considered an important and transformative milestone in India’s clean energy journey. Ahmedabad-based Adani Group operates diverse businesses in the energy, logistics, metals and consumer sectors. Also, it is pursuing its development in line with India’s Net-Zero and sustainability goals.
