PVTIME – India’s leading and fastest-growing diversified conglomerate, the Adani Group, has entered the energy storage sector by launching a landmark 1,126MW, 3,530MWh facility at its Khavda renewable energy park. The project, which is headquartered in Ahmedabad, will feature over 700 storage units and is set to be commissioned in March 2026, at which point it will become India’s largest energy storage installation.
Using lithium-ion technology paired with an energy management system, the facility will deliver 1,126MW continuously for approximately three hours. It will enhance grid flexibility and boost solar power absorption by managing peak demand, easing transmission congestion, reducing solar curtailment, and ensuring a continuous power supply through deep integration with solar generation, grid demand forecasting, and load management systems.
The Adani Group has outlined ambitious expansion plans, aiming to add 15GWh of storage capacity by March 2027, with the ultimate goal of reaching 50GWh within five years. This will further strengthen India’s grid regulation capabilities and renewable energy uptake. Group Chairman Gautam Adani has emphasised that energy storage is the cornerstone of the future of renewable energy, and has noted that the project sets a global benchmark while reinforcing the group’s commitment to India’s energy independence and sustainable development, and enabling the large-scale delivery of reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy solutions.
This strategic initiative highlights Adani’s long-term vision for the storage sector, providing robust support for India’s net-zero emissions goals and low-carbon development commitments.
