Commenting on the results, Amit Singh, CEO of Adani Green Energy Ltd, stated “Our financial performance continues to be strong, driven by significant greenfield capacity additions and robust operational efficiency. Entering the C&I space by signing our first contract underscores our commitment to decarbonizing industries, with plans to expand our merchant and C&I exposure to 15% by 2030. Our growth is driven by a robust capital management plan with utmost credit discipline. Having delivered the intended capacity growth, we completely redeemed the USD 750 mn Holdco bond in line with our commitment, resulting in systematic deleveraging.”
He further said “We remain focused on best-in-class sustainability and governance practices, and the reaffirmation of our top rankings by global ESG rating agencies only strengthens our resolve to deliver sustainable and industry-leading growth. Adani Green is well on track to achieve its 2030 RE capacity target of 50 GW, including at least 5 GW of energy storage.”
The company’s operational capacity grew significantly by 34% YoY, reaching 11,184 megawatts (MW). This expansion was driven by substantial greenfield additions, including 2,000 MW of solar capacity and 250 MW of wind capacity in Khavda, along with 418 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan and 200 MW of wind capacity in Gujarat.
In line with this operational growth, AGEL achieved a remarkable 20% YoY increase in energy sales, totalling 14,128 million units. This surge in sales was largely attributed to the company’s robust capacity additions and strong operational performance, reflecting AGEL’s effective resource planning, engineering, and supply chain management strategies. The company’s cash profits also witnessed a notable rise, increasing by 27% YoY to reach ₹2,640 crores, further highlighting its financial strength.
On the financial front, AGEL has taken significant steps towards deleveraging by fully redeeming a USD 750 million Holdco bond, further strengthening its balance sheet and financial position.
