Adani Green Energy’s Exceptional Performance in H1 FY25
Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL) continues its impressive growth in India’s renewable energy sector, as shown by its recently announced results for H1 FY25. The company has demonstrated remarkable progress in expanding capacity, increasing sales, and improving financial performance.
Significant Growth in Operational Capacity
AGEL’s operational capacity grew by a stunning 34% year-on-year (YoY), reaching 11.2 GW in H1 FY25. This was driven by substantial greenfield capacity additions, including 2,000 MW of solar power and 250 MW of wind power in Gujarat’s Khavda region. This significant expansion is helping India transition to cleaner energy sources.
Surge in Energy Sales
The company’s energy sales surged by 20% YoY to 14,128 million units, benefiting from the added capacity and consistent performance across plants. AGEL’s ability to generate more energy directly contributes to its solid financial growth.
Financial Growth
AGEL saw a robust 20% YoY revenue growth in H1 FY25, totaling Rs. 4,836 crores. This rise in revenue was supported by the increase in power sales and capacity expansion. In terms of EBITDA, AGEL achieved an impressive margin of 92.2%, a testament to its operational efficiency and cost management.
In addition to revenue growth, cash profit also saw a significant 27% jump to Rs. 2,640 crores. The strong financials highlight AGEL’s ability to maintain profitability while expanding at a rapid pace.
CEO’s Statement
Amit Singh, CEO of Adani Green Energy, commented on the results, stating, “Our growth is driven by greenfield capacity additions and our commitment to decarbonizing industries.” He emphasized the company’s solid financial position, noting the successful redemption of a USD 750 million bond, signaling AGEL’s commitment to reducing debt and maintaining strong credit discipline.
Singh added, “We remain focused on sustainability and governance, and our global ESG rankings strengthen our resolve to lead the renewable energy sector with integrity.”
Entry into the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Segment
AGEL has made its first major move into the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, signing an agreement to supply renewable energy to power a data center. This partnership aligns with the global push for decarbonization, particularly as tech companies like Google aim for carbon-free operations. The deal marks a significant milestone as AGEL expands its customer base beyond traditional power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Redemption of USD 750 Million Holdco Bond
AGEL has fully redeemed its USD 750 million Holdco bond, initially issued to fund rapid capacity growth. By using cash reserves instead of refinancing, the company demonstrated its strong financial management and commitment to deleveraging. This move not only reduces debt but also strengthens investor confidence.

Additionally, AGEL’s Energy Network Operation Center enables real-time monitoring of plants across India, further boosting plant efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Development of the World’s Largest Renewable Energy Plant
One of AGEL’s most ambitious projects is the development of the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda, Gujarat, with a total planned capacity of 30 GW. Spread across 538 square kilometers, this massive project will set new global benchmarks in renewable energy production.
AGEL has already operationalized 2 GW of solar and 250 MW of wind capacity at the Khavda site. Over the next five years, the company plans to fully develop the 30 GW plant, which will deploy some of the most advanced technologies, including bifacial solar modules, robotic cleaning systems, and powerful wind turbines. These innovations are designed to maximize energy output while minimizing costs.
Major New Solar Contract
AGEL’s growth trajectory received a further boost with the award of a 5 GW solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) from MSEDCL. This 25-year agreement will contribute significantly to AGEL’s contracted portfolio, bringing the company closer to its target of 50 GW by 2030.
Partnership with TotalEnergies
AGEL continues to strengthen its partnership with TotalEnergies. The two companies have formed a joint venture to develop solar projects with a total capacity of 1,150 MW. TotalEnergies has invested USD 444 million into the venture, reinforcing the strategic alliance and accelerating project development in Gujarat.
ESG Leadership and Global Recognition
AGEL’s commitment to sustainability is evident through its strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. The company retained its top rankings from leading ESG rating agencies and was the first renewable energy company in India to join the “Utilities for Net Zero Alliance,” which aims to create a sustainable energy future.
AGEL was ranked 3rd in the FTSE Russell ESG score for alternative electricity and secured top rankings in other global ESG assessments, reflecting its dedication to clean energy and responsible business practices.
