Adani Green Energy Ltd on Wednesday said it has surpassed 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first clean energy player in India to achieve the milestone through greenfield development. The company generates over 52 billion units of clean electricity annually.

India must add nearly 2,000 gigawatts of new power generation capacity over the next two decades to meet rising energy demand while reducing dependence on imported fuels, Adani Green Energy Executive Director Sagar Adani said, calling electrification the country's clearest pathway to energy security. Speaking at the inaugural Adani Green Electrification Dialogue here, Adani said India faces the dual challenge of meeting surging electricity demand while ensuring energy remains affordable, accessible and increasingly clean amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. "We are talking about a structural leap, adding nearly 2,000 gigawatts of new capacity over the next two decades. All while ensuring that this energy remains affordable, accessible, and increasingly clean. That is the scale of the opportunity. And that is India's defining challenge," he said. Adani said India consumed about 10,000 terawatt-hours of energy across all fuel sources in 2024, compared with 32,810 terawatt-hours in .
