Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda in Gujarat, which the company said is the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China.
The company stated that the deployment includes a 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL’s total operational BESS capacity at Khavda to 3.37 GWh. The project was completed within 10 months of commencement of on-site construction, making it one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally.
According to the company, the commissioning is aimed at strengthening grid reliability, ensuring peak-hour supply, and enabling renewable energy to deliver round-the-clock clean power at scale. AGEL also said it plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years.
The company said its 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day. It can also continuously power over 12 million LED bulbs for 10 hours. The project is expected to help stabilise renewable-heavy grids and improve clean energy dispatchability.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, said large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in India’s clean energy transition as renewable energy capacity continues to expand rapidly. He added that the commissioning of the Khavda BESS strengthens the foundation for resilient, dispatchable, and flexible energy systems.
The company said the battery storage project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies to optimise efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness. The BESS facility has been strategically located at Khavda, where AGEL is also developing a 30 GW renewable energy plant by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational.
AGEL noted that utility-scale battery storage is becoming increasingly critical as renewable energy adoption rises globally. Since renewable energy generation varies based on weather and time conditions, battery systems help store excess energy and release it during peak demand periods.
The company added that the deployment demonstrates how renewable power infrastructure can evolve from intermittent generation into dependable and dispatchable energy systems at scale.
