Just about two years ago, the 30 GW Khavda RE project was a vision which would be a global blueprint for gigawatt-scale execution. Today, it is no longer a vision. It is a global benchmark for speed, scale, technology and workforce deployment. It is where records are being broken and new milestones set. In 36 months since groundbreaking, 35% of the project is already complete, with momentum all set for completion by 2029.

Scale Efficiency
  • All projects to be developed on contiguous land in Khavda Renewable Park
  • Significant scale efficiencies in construction and O&M
Well-planned Evacuation
  • Advance phase-wise evacuation planning matching project timelines
  • Connection to the central grid and existing green corridor through high-capacity transmission lines, including 765 kV
Design Informed by Data and Terrain
  • Topography survey
  • Social geotechnical investigation and improvement test (for WTG foundation)
  • Seismic, centrifuge and area drainage studies
  • Customisation for cable laying, piling, extra high voltage (EHV) substation and more
Innovative Execution
  • India’s largest centralised control room enabling real-time, AI/ML-driven monitoring
  • Robotics and digitalisation for scale and speed
  • Long-term collaborations with global ALMM-compliant solar module suppliers and supply chain integration within the Adani portfolio
  • Well-developed site infrastructure to support project development and workforce well-being along with long-term work visibility, enabling large-scale and sustained workforce deployment

Accelerating Delivery at Scale

In FY 2025-26, the pace of execution at Khavda, the world’s largest renewable energy plant, reached new highs. Months of upfront planning, manpower mobilisation and infrastructure development, advanced technology deployment, and supply chain integration converged into a mature execution ecosystem, resulting in accelerated project delivery.

We commissioned 5.1 GW capacity during the year, making Khavda the largest contributor to our portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, the project’s operational capacity stood at 9.4 GW and it is firmly on track to achieve the full 30 GW by 2029, an execution timeline unmatched globally at this scale.

Technology at the Frontier

The Khavda project deploys advanced renewable technologies, making it one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly plants globally. They are poised to maximise generation, reduce water usage to near-zero, and enhance long-term asset performance.

Renewable Technologies Deployed at Khavda

  • High-efficiency bifacial, n-type solar PV modules, with Horizontal Single-Axis trackers (HSAT)
  • India’s largest and among the most powerful globally, 5.2 MW onshore wind turbines to optimise the levelised cost of electricity
  • Waterless robotic module cleaning across the entire site
  • Robotic installation of solar PV modules

People-centric Execution

Workforce management is a defining feature of the Khavda project’s success. With fully equipped labour colonies, healthcare facilities and comprehensive well-being infrastructure, it is designed for stability, safety, and productivity. Further, long-term work visibility ensures the continual availability of skilled labour.
