Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has commercially operationalised 951 MW of renewable power projects across Baiya in Rajasthan and Khavda in Gujarat, taking its total operational capacity to 18,933.3 MW.
The decision to operationalise the projects was taken at 9.58 pm on March 29, 2026, with generation starting from March 30, 2026.
The commissioned capacity includes 251 MW at Baiya, Rajasthan, and 700 MW at Khavda, Gujarat, implemented through six special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The Rajasthan portfolio comprises 675 MW across four solar SPVs in Jaisalmer and Jodhpur districts, along with a 25 MW hybrid project linked to the Khavda renewable energy park cluster. The Baiya project is housed under Adani Solar Energy Barmer One Limited.
The Khavda renewable energy park in the Kutch district continues to anchor AGEL’s capacity additions. The latest 700 MW addition builds on earlier commissioning at the site. On March 22, 2026, AGEL had operationalised 510.1 MW in Khavda.
