Adani Group has announced a major step into the battery energy storage sector with plans for a 1126 MW / 3530 MWh system at its Khavda renewable energy complex in Gujarat. The installation, expected to be completed by March 2026, will use more than 700 containerised lithium-ion systems managed through advanced energy management technologies.
According to the company, the Khavda facility will be India’s largest single-location battery energy storage system (BESS), capable of delivering three hours of full-power discharge. The project is designed to improve grid reliability by balancing peak demand, reducing transmission congestion, and mitigating renewable energy curtailment.
The storage system will support continuous clean power delivery and enhance energy security as India scales up renewable integration. Adani Group said the initiative marks a key milestone in building a resilient, low-carbon energy system aligned with national net-zero goals.
Chairman Gautam Adani noted that large-scale energy storage is essential to achieve a renewable-powered future, calling the Khavda project a benchmark for sustainable energy infrastructure.
Beyond Khavda, the company intends to expand its energy storage capacity to 15 GWh by 2027 and 50 GWh within five years. The group envisions transforming Khavda into one of the world’s largest integrated renewable and storage hubs, supporting India’s broader decarbonisation objectives.
