The world’s largest renewable energy project
Adani Group is developing the world’s largest renewable energy project of 30 thousand megawatts on barren land in Khavda, Kutch, Gujarat. This project, to be built in a total area of 538 square kilometers, is five times larger than Paris and almost equal to the city of Mumbai. The commissioning of the first two gigawatts in the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda within just 12 months of the ground breaking ceremony is a record in itself.
Given the growth prospects in renewable energy, Adani Green Energy has raised its target of renewable energy capacity from 45 GW to 50 GW by FY 2029-30. In FY 2023-24, the company has added an additional 2.8 GW of capacity, accounting for 15 per cent of the country’s renewable energy capacity addition.
Mundra Port is the largest private port in the country
Mundra Port in Gujarat is the largest private port in the country. With a cargo volume of 180 million tonnes in FY2023-24 (a growth of 16 per cent year-on-year), Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone’s flagship Mundra Port is expected to cross the 200 million tonnes mark in FY2024-25. It recently set another record by receiving the largest ship at any Indian port.
