Avaada to invest ₹36,000 crore in solar, wind and BESS projects in Gujarat

The MoU signed at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit will drive over 11 GW of green capacity and create thousands of clean energy jobs across key districts

Avaada Group will invest Rs 36,000 crore in Gujarat for solar, wind and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, according to an agreement the two sides signed at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2025.

 

The green energy company will establish 5 gigawatt (Gw) solar power capacity, 1 Gw wind energy capacity and 5 Gw hour capacity of BESS Projects in Kutch, Banaskantha and Surendrangar districts. The projects are expected to be commissioned between 2027 and 2030.

 

“India’s journey towards energy independence is being powered by visionary partnerships and bold investments like this,” said Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy.

 

 

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said Avaada’s investment in solar, wind, and battery storage strengthens the state’s plans for sustainable growth. “The government of Gujarat has assured full support for the speedy implementation of these projects, as round-the-clock green power is essential for realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat,” he said.

 

Avaada’s 280 megawatt solar power project in Surendranagar spans over 1,170 acres and entails an investment of Rs 1,500 crore. Modi inaugurated the project, which is being developed as part of Gujarat State Solar Policy. Modi had also laid the foundation stone for the company’s 100 Mw solar project being set up with an investment of Rs 400 crore in Vadodara.

 

The company said the projects are expected to generate more than 1,000 direct and 2,000 indirect green jobs. They are expected to generate employment opportunities for 5,000 people during construction.
