Key Background :
Adani Energy Solutions, the flagship energy infrastructure business of the Adani Group, has announced its bid to invest ₹18,000 crore as capital expenditure during the financial year 2025-26 (FY26). This strategic investment is a massive increase from the ₹15,000–16,000 crore spent in FY25 and shows the company’s aggressive approach to developing India’s energy infrastructure.
Most of the investment will be in transmission infrastructure, the spine of India’s energy transformation. Adani Energy is at the forefront of making it possible to transmit electricity from renewable power hubs to consumption points. Such a place is Gujarat’s Khavda district, where Adani Green Energy is building a gargantuan 30 gigawatt renewable energy park. To make this possible, Adani Energy Solutions is building gigantic transmission corridors for efficient evacuation of power.
Smart metering programs constitute another key support pillar to the investment strategy. The company has already received orders for the installation of 23 million smart meters and an order book for tendering to install another 120 million meters. These programs across states such as Assam, Bihar, and Maharashtra will transform the power distribution by way of modernization, loss reduction, and improved monitoring and billing systems.
The company would fund the capital through internal accruals and external fund raising. Adani Energy raised close to $1 billion by way of qualified institutional placement of equity shares in its recent filing. The capital infusion reflects the confidence of investors in the company’s growth strategy and operating planning.
By investing ₹18,000 crore in FY26, Adani Energy Solutions is not just expanding its market share but also aligning its business model with India’s total renewable power and sustainable growth ambitions. The capex thrust is also the company’s long-term strategy to become an Indian energy transmission and digital utility leader.
