Riding India’s Rising Power Demand
The expansion comes as India’s electricity consumption continues to surge, driven by rapid industrial growth, urbanisation, and increasing demand from households and businesses. By substantially boosting generation capacity, Adani Power aims to play a larger role in ensuring reliable energy supply and supporting the country’s long-term economic ambitions.
Bhutan Partnership to Boost Clean Energy Portfolio
As part of its renewable energy roadmap, the Adani Group has entered into a partnership with Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation to jointly develop hydropower projects with a total capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW).
