Adani Group’s Battery Storage Entry

With a groundbreaking project in Khavda, Gujarat, the Adani Group has formally entered the battery energy storage industry. This project is expected to become the largest single-location battery energy storage system (BESS) in India and among the largest in the world.

Key Details of the Project

• Capacity: The project will have a power capacity of 1,126 megawatts (MW) and an energy storage capacity of 3,530 megawatt-hours (MWh), enabling it to store enough energy to supply electricity at 1,126 MW for approximately three hours.​

• Technology: It employs advanced lithium-ion battery technology and sophisticated energy management systems to ensure high performance, safety, and reliability.​

• Deployment: Over 700 BESS containers will be installed as part of this system, making it India’s largest and one of the most significant in the world.​

• Completion Timeline: The project is scheduled for commissioning by March 2026.

Strategic Significance

• Energy Stability: The project aims to support grid stability, especially during peak demand hours, and facilitate a round-the-clock renewable energy supply.​

• Environmental Impact: By enabling better integration of renewable energy sources, it supports India’s climate goals, such as decarbonization and reduction of carbon emissions.​

• Expansion Plans: The Adani Group has laid out an ambitious roadmap to scale its energy storage capacity to a total of 15 GWh by March 2027, with a long-term goal of reaching 50 GWh in five years.​

Broader Context

Adani's position as a key participant in India's clean energy transition is strengthened by this project, which is in line with global trends toward large-scale energy storage and underlines the company's strategy shift towards renewable and sustainable energy infrastructure. ​
