Adani Green completes 10 years

The milestone coincides with AGEL completing 10 years of operations in India. Currently, it has a market cap of Rs 1.66 lakh crore, as of June 30. Adani Green is developing the world’s largest renewable energy plant of 30,000 MW on the barren land of Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat. Built across 538 square km, it is five times the size of Paris and will be even visible from space. Once complete, it will be the world's largest power plant across all energy sources. AGEL has operationalised a cumulative capacity of 5,355.9 MW of renewable energy at Khavda so far.

Delighted to share that Adani Green has surpassed 15,000 MW of renewable energy capacity, marking the largest and fastest green energy build-out in India's history.
