Billionaire Gautam Adani’s conglomerate plans to build India’s largest battery energy storage system in western Gujarat, as part of its push to expand renewable energy capacity and strengthen grid stability, according to a Bloomberg report.
The proposed installation, set for completion by March 2026, would be among the world’s largest single-site energy storage systems, sources said.
The project will be developed at Khavda, where the Adani Group is constructing one of the country’s biggest renewable energy complexes.
The group aims to expand its storage capacity to 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh) within five years, aligning with India’s goal of doubling its clean energy capacity to 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade.
Battery storage systems are increasingly critical for integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into national grids, providing backup power when generation fluctuates.
India’s total power capacity is projected to reach around 800 gigawatts this year, according to BloombergNEF data, underscoring the scale of infrastructure needed to support the transition to cleaner energy.
The Adani Group is also holding discussions with several international firms for technological partnerships to support the initiative, according to reports. Bloomberg News previously reported that Adani is exploring a potential collaboration with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD Co. for battery production.
The project marks another major step in Adani’s broader renewable energy strategy, as the conglomerate continues to invest heavily in solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects to help India meet its long-term climate and energy targets.
