Gujarat Gets World’s Largest Single-Location Battery Storage Deployment Outside China; Adani Green in Focus

Adani Green Energy Ltd has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour battery energy storage system at Khavda in Gujarat, marking the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China. The company said the project was completed within ten months of on-site Construction, making it one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally.

The newly commissioned capacity includes 1.37 GWh added in March 2026, taking the company’s total operational battery energy storage capacity at Khavda to 3.37 GWh. The development is significant as battery storage plays a key role in supporting grid reliability, managing peak-hour demand and enabling renewable energy to provide round-the-clock clean power.

According to the company, the 3.37 GWh system can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day. It can also support peak electricity demand for cities such as Indore and Chandigarh, or even the entire state of Goa. The system can power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.

The project uses lithium-ion battery technology and advanced energy management systems to improve efficiency, reliability and grid responsiveness. The storage system has been placed at Khavda, where Adani Green is developing a 30 GW renewable energy plant by 2029. Of this, 9.9 GW is already operational.

Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, said large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India’s clean energy transition. He added that as renewable energy capacity scales up, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, dispatchable and flexible clean power.

The company has also laid out an aggressive storage roadmap. It plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years. This fits into AGEL’s broader clean energy expansion plan, under which it aims to reach 50 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.

Adani Green currently has an operating renewable portfolio of 19.7 GW, spread across 12 states, making it India’s largest renewable energy company. The company develops, owns and operates utility-scale Solar, wind, hybrid and energy storage projects.

The Khavda project remains central to AGEL’s growth plan. The site covers 538 square kilometres, an area stated to be five times larger than Paris. The company said its operating portfolio is certified as water positive, single-use plastic free and zero waste-to-landfill, reflecting its focus on sustainable growth.

With renewable power generation often varying due to time, climate, season and location, battery storage helps bridge the gap by storing surplus energy and supplying it when demand rises. AGEL’s latest commissioning shows how renewable energy can move beyond intermittent generation and become a more dependable source of clean power at scale.
