Adani Group Enters Battery Energy Storage with 1,126 MW Project in India

One of the biggest single-location BESS deployments in the world and the largest in India, the Adani Group announced on November 11th its strategic entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) industry with a groundbreaking 1126 MW / 3530 MWh project. By March 2026, the project—which includes more than 700 BESS containers—will be put into service. The project is a significant turning point in India's renewable energy journey, enhancing energy security and guaranteeing a clean, uninterrupted supply of electricity, according to the Group's news release.

The Project Aims to Back India’s Transition to Low-Carbon Economy

Through improving grid reliability, lowering peak load pressures, reducing transmission congestion, and mitigating solar curtailment, the initiative seeks to assist the nation's shift to a low-carbon economy. The largest renewable energy plant in the world is located in Khavda, where the deployment is in its advanced phases. To maximise performance and dependability, the system, which is based on lithium-ion battery technology, is being linked with cutting-edge energy management technologies.

When finished, it will improve peak load management and energy shifting capabilities, which is essential for decarbonising the electricity industry. Energy storage is the foundation of a future powered by renewable energy, according to Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani, who called the endeavour a "strategic leap" in the country's energy revolution.

In addition to establishing international standards with this landmark project, the corporation is reaffirming its dedication to India's sustainability and energy independence. The company will be able to provide dependable, cost-effective, and clean energy solutions on a large scale thanks to this project.

Adani Group’s Biggest Leap to Join BESS Global Players

By investing in large-scale storage facilities, the Adani Group joins the world's leading energy companies in making investments in cutting-edge energy storage technologies. According to the firm, this is a turning point in India's clean energy growth and solidifies its status as a pioneer in the development of sustainable and renewable energy. The Group has also revealed a bold strategy to increase its BESS capacity, building on this flagship project. With a long-term goal of 50 GWh within the next five years, it plans to deploy an additional 15 GWh of storage by March 2027.

The Group's dedication to building a robust and future-ready energy environment in line with India's net-zero objectives and international climate ambitions is reflected in the expansion. When this BESS project is fully linked with the Khavda renewable energy plant, it will become the largest renewable and storage park in the world. The project demonstrates the Adani Group's overarching goal of promoting sustainable growth and developing India's capacity for clean energy.
