With the commissioning of these projects, AGEL has achieved a total operational renewable generation capacity of 19,785.8 MW and total operational BESS capacity of 3,366 MWh, the company stated in a regulatory filing.
The company, in a statement, has claimed the 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda as the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and among the fastest executed globally. The deployment includes the 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL's total operational BESS capacity at Khavda, Gujarat, to 3.37 GWh, the company stated.
The project was delivered within just 10 months of commencement of on-site construction, marking one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally, it said.
The BESS project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies to optimise efficiency, reliability and grid responsiveness. AGEL’s BESS project has been strategically located at Khavda, Gujarat, to further strengthen the world’s largest renewable energy plant, where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational, stated the company.
AGEL's 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours. This would be a game changer as battery storage will help keep renewable heavy grids stable and deliver green power round-the-clock, asserted the company.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said, “Large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India's clean energy transition. As renewable energy capacity scales rapidly, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, round-the-clock clean power. With the commissioning of the 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda, AGEL is strengthening the foundation for resilient, dispatchable and flexible energy systems. Our investments in battery storage reflect a long-term commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at a global scale.”
AGEL develops, owns, and operates utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid and energy storage solutions. AGEL currently has an operating renewable portfolio of 19.7 GW, the largest in India, spread across 12 states. The company has set a target of achieving 50 GW by 2030, aligned to India’s decarbonisation goals.
As for BESS, AGEL plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years, stated the company.
