Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) added over 5 GW (5,051 MW) of renewable energy in the financial year 2025-26. It claims this is the highest annual greenfield expansion by any company globally outside China. The new capacity includes 3.4 GW of solar, 0.7 GW of wind, and 1 GW of hybrid projects, expected to offset around 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year. Most of the new capacity was installed at AGEL’s Khavda, Gujarat site, the world’s largest renewable energy project, which now has 9.4 GW of cumulative capacity. Spread across 538 km² – 5 times the size of Paris – the project is planned to reach 30 GW by 2029. AGEL also commissioned 1,376 MWh of battery storage in Khavda, helping stabilize the grid and integrate renewable power. With a total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW, the company says it is reinforcing India’s position as a global leader in renewable energy. “Our addition of over 5 GW is a major milestone for India’s clean energy sector and moves us closer to our target of 50 GW by 2030,” said Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL.
Macquarie Asset Management-backed Blueleaf Energy has commissioned its 300 MW Pachora Hybrid Power Project in Madhya Pradesh. Valued at around INR 1,900 crore, the utility-scale project combines wind and solar generation across 40 sites spanning 347 ha. The project is designed to produce nearly 600 million units of electricity annually, enough to power over 550,000 households. Blueleaf says it will sell the energy on the Indian power market through a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with a major Indian trader. Additionally, it will provide international Renewable Energy Credits (I-RECs) under a separate 15-year contract to a large international technology company. The project features 35 wind turbines, a multi-site solar farm, and a dedicated substation. It stressed that delivering consistent power day and night improves system efficiency and reduces the need for grid expansion. The company is also progressing with solar developments in Rajasthan, with full delivery expected later this year.
Serentica Renewables India Pvt. Ltd has partnered with Cairn Oil & Gas and Sanathan Polycot Private Limited to deliver hybrid renewable energy solutions across industrial sectors. Under a 25 MW agreement with Cairn, 20% of power demand at India’s largest onshore oil-producing asset, the Mangala facility in Barmer, Rajasthan, will be met through solar and wind energy from Serentica’s Gadag facility in Karnataka. The project is expected to reduce Cairn’s operational carbon emissions by around 115 kilotonnes of CO₂e annually and deliver approximately 153 million units of renewable energy each year.
Separately, Serentica has signed a long-term PPA with Sanathan Polycot, forming a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to supply 32 MW of round-the-clock renewable power to its manufacturing facility in Punjab. Sanathan holds a 26% stake in the SPV, ensuring reliable and cost-efficient green energy to support its sustainability goals.
Indian solar EPC Rays Power Infra Limited has secured a 200 MW round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy supply order from the Indian Railways. Secured through its subsidiary Bhalki Solar Power, the project will supply clean energy to Railways Energy Management Company Limited (REMCL). The company said that the project will integrate more than 700 MW of solar and capacity, supported by over 1,000 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS). The project is scheduled to come online by June 2028. It will deploy modules produced by its subsidiary, Rays Green Energy, at its upcoming facility in Madhya Pradesh.
Jindal Renewables India has announced a 150 MW RTC power purchase agreement with Northern Railways. The deal guarantees at least 50% supply of the contracted capacity every 15-minute time block, supported by a combination of solar, wind, and storage. It is the company’s maiden non-captive offtake agreement. Jindal says it complements its 3 GW of captive power currently under advanced construction.
Inox Clean Energy Limited has completed its acquisition of Macquarie-backed Vibrant Energy, with its total portfolio of 1.34 GW, valuing it at approximately $550 million. An independent power producer (IPP), Vibrant Energy operates commercial and industrial (C&I) projects that are spread across multiple Indian states, including Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Inox Clean had reached an agreement to acquire Vibrant Energy in December 2025 (see India Solar PV News Snippets).
NewEnergie Renewables Limited, an ISO-certified solar tracker manufacturer from Navi Mumbai, has announced it has reached the milestone of more than 500 MW of solar tracker installations. It claims the company’s advanced tracking systems – single-axis, tilted module, and dual-axis (patent pending) – offer up to 30% higher energy generation while enhancing land-use efficiency and reducing costs. NewEnergie says its trackers are designed for durability and optimized for BESS with improved project economics. It operates a 2 GW manufacturing facility in India.
