The Adani Group has announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector with a major project at Khavda, Gujarat. The new system will have a capacity of 1,126 MW and can store 3,530 MWh of power, making it India’s largest battery energy storage project and one of the biggest in the world. It is expected to be ready by March 2026.
The project will use more than 700 large battery containers to store solar energy, which can then be supplied when demand is high or sunlight is low. This will help keep the power supply steady, reduce pressure on the grid, and make better use of renewable energy.
Located at the world’s largest renewable energy park in Khavda, the system will use advanced lithium-ion batteries and smart energy management technology to improve efficiency and reliability.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said, “Energy storage is the cornerstone of a renewable-powered future. With this project, we aim to make clean, reliable, and affordable energy available at scale while supporting India’s goal of energy independence.”
After this project, the Group plans to add 15 GWh of battery storage by 2027 and reach 50 GWh within five years, a step toward building a strong and sustainable energy future for India.
