Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest renewable-energy producer, is taking a bold step to ensure its growth is in harmony with nature. The company has formally adopted the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, a global standard that helps businesses identify, manage, and reduce their impact on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Starting this year, AGEL has been assessing all its operational sites to understand how its projects interact with forests, water bodies, and local wildlife. The goal is not just to reduce environmental risks, but to actively create opportunities to support nature. CEO Ashish Khanna emphasised, “Nature is central to our growth story,” highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainable development.
AGEL has pledged to achieve “No Net Loss of Biodiversity” by 2030. This ambitious target includes planting 27.86 million trees across its solar and wind energy projects. Currently, the company operates more than 16.5 GW of renewable capacity in 12 states and aims to scale this to 50 GW by 2030, contributing significantly to India’s clean-energy transition.
Beyond energy generation, AGEL has already implemented sustainable practices across its projects, including being water-positive, single-use plastic-free, and zero waste-to-landfill. By integrating the TNFD framework, the company moves beyond standard ESG compliance, adopting a science-backed approach to measure and manage its ecological footprint.
This initiative sends a strong message to the renewable-energy sector: infrastructure growth and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. By embedding nature-positive principles into its expansion plans, AGEL is setting a new benchmark for responsible clean-energy development in India and globally.
As India ramps up its renewable-energy ambitions, AGEL’s approach shows that development doesn’t have to come at the cost of nature. Instead, with thoughtful planning and commitment, it is possible to power the future while protecting the planet we rely on.
