Adani Green Energy Limited on Thursday commissioned the Khavda Renewable Energy Park Phase I in Rann of Kutch, Rajasthan—Asia’s single largest solar power plant with a capacity of 5 gigawatts—marking a watershed moment in India’s clean energy transition.
The ₹45,000 crore facility, spread over 726 square kilometres (about twice the size of Singapore), uses bifacial solar modules manufactured at Adani Solar’s Mundra plant under the group’s fully integrated green energy value chain. The park is connected to the national grid via a dedicated 1200 kV ultra-high voltage transmission corridor.
When fully complete by 2027, the Khavda mega-park will have 30 GW of capacity, enough to power 16 million homes, and will alone account for 6% of India’s 2030 renewable energy target.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, called it ‘the most consequential project of our generation—not just for India but for the global energy transition.’ The project will generate 8.1 billion units of clean electricity annually, displacing 8.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The plant has already secured long-term power purchase agreements with 14 state electricity boards at a tariff of ₹2.49 per unit—the lowest ever bid for solar power in India and competitive with new coal-fired generation.
Adani Green Energy’s shares hit a 52-week high on the news, rising 6.3% to ₹2,176. The company now has an operational portfolio of 12.8 GW and a development pipeline of 45 GW, making it the world’s largest solar energy developer by operational capacity.
