Key Highlights:

• Operational renewable energy capacity increased 27% YoY to 20,142 MW.
• Greenfield capacity addition of 4,327 MW over the past year strengthened the operating portfolio.
• During the quarter, AGEL commissioned 848 MW of new renewable capacity.
• Electricity sales increased 30% YoY to 13,657 million units, reflecting higher operational capacity.
• Plant performance remained strong with:
  • Solar CUF: 25.3%
  • Wind CUF: 44.4%
  • Hybrid CUF: 49.0%
• High generation was supported by plant availability of 99.5% for solar, 95.3% for wind, and 98.8% for hybrid assets.

Capacity Expansion & Khavda Renewable Energy Park:

AGEL continued accelerating development of the Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat, which remains the cornerstone of its long-term renewable energy strategy.

Key Highlights

• Khavda currently has 10.3 GW of operational renewable capacity.
• The renewable park is planned to reach 30 GW by 2029, making it the world’s largest single-location renewable energy project.
• The site spans approximately 538 sq. km, nearly five times the size of Paris.
• During Q1 FY27, the company operationalised:
  • 2,662 MW of solar capacity at Khavda.
  • 684 MW of wind capacity.
  • 592 MW of hybrid renewable capacity.
• The region benefits from high solar irradiation (~2,060 kWh/m² annually) and average wind speeds of approximately 8 metres per second, supporting industry-leading generation potential.
• AI-driven monitoring, robotics and centralized execution continue to improve construction speed and operational efficiency across the project.  

Battery Energy Storage & Technology:

AGEL continued strengthening its integrated renewable energy platform through large-scale battery storage deployment and technology-led operations.

Key Highlights:

• Commissioned 1,972 MWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity during Q1 FY27.
• Total installed BESS capacity increased to 3,551 MWh as of June 30, 2026.
• The deployment represents one of the world’s largest single-location battery storage installations.
• Cloud-based analytics, AI-driven asset intelligence and digital monitoring systems continue supporting predictive maintenance, higher plant availability and improved operating efficiency.
• Technology-enabled operations contribute to industry-leading EBITDA margins and higher renewable energy generation.  

Investment Strategy & Growth Pipeline:

The company continued reinforcing its long-term renewable energy growth platform through project execution, funding visibility and supply-chain integration.

Key Highlights:

• Long-term target remains 50+ GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
• Growth strategy includes development of:
  • 50 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
  • 5 GW (30 GWh) of Pumped Storage Projects (PSP).
• Funding has been secured for approximately 5 GW of renewable projects currently under construction and around 2 GWh of BESS capacity.
• Promoter warrants, internal cash generation and available credit facilities are expected to support future expansion without significant equity dilution.
• Vertically integrated procurement and execution capabilities continue to improve project timelines and cost efficiencies.

ESG & Sustainability:

AGEL continued strengthening its sustainability leadership while receiving multiple national and global ESG recognitions during the quarter.

Key Highlights:

• Ranked 1st globally in the alternative electricity segment by FTSE Russell for the second consecutive year.
• Retained the highest CRISIL ESG score in the Indian renewable energy sector for the fifth consecutive year.
• Achieved the highest sectoral ESG Risk Rating from ESG Risk Assessment & Insights Ltd.
• Received the Clean Power Generation Award at the Reuters Energy Industry Awards 2026.
• The company’s operational portfolio is capable of supplying clean electricity to more than 9 million homes while avoiding approximately 37 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually.
• AGEL also sustained its Net Water Positive status across its operational portfolio, improving its water balance index by 30% year-on-year.  

Risk Analysis

Summary:

• Adani Green Energy delivered strong operational and financial growth during Q1 FY27, supported by higher renewable energy generation, rapid capacity expansion and continued progress at the Khavda Renewable Energy Park. While the company maintains strong long-term growth visibility, execution of its large capital expenditure pipeline, timely commissioning of projects and regulatory stability will remain important factors influencing future performance.  

Key Risks:

• Delays in commissioning under-construction renewable energy projects could defer revenue recognition and cash flow generation.
• Large-scale capital expenditure and expansion plans require continued access to financing and disciplined project execution.
• Renewable energy generation remains dependent on weather conditions despite geographical diversification.
• Changes in government policies, power purchase agreements, transmission infrastructure or regulatory approvals could impact project timelines and returns.
• Execution of the company’s ambitious 50 GW renewable energy target depends on timely procurement, grid connectivity and storage infrastructure deployment.

Worst Case:

• If project commissioning slows due to execution challenges, transmission delays or regulatory hurdles while renewable generation is affected by adverse weather conditions, revenue growth, operating cash flows and returns on invested capital could fall below management’s long-term expectations.

Risk Level: Medium
