Adani Green Eyes $2 Billion For Renewable Energy Growth

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), a leading renewable energy company in India, has reported a significant 20% growth in its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025. The company's EBITDA stood at Rs 4,518 crore, marking a substantial increase from the previous year. This financial performance is a testament to the company's robust operational efficiency and strategic greenfield capacity additions.

The company's cash profit also witnessed a surge, increasing by 27% year-on-year to Rs 2,640 crore. This growth is a reflection of the company's strong financial management and disciplined approach towards capital management. The company's CEO, Amit Singh, emphasized that their growth is driven by a robust capital management plan with utmost credit discipline.

On a quarterly basis, the company's EBITDA from power supply saw a 17% growth, reaching Rs 2,143 crore in Q2 FY25, up from Rs 1,835 crore in the previous quarter. This growth is indicative of the company's consistent performance and its ability to leverage its resources effectively.

Robust Revenue Growth and Capacity Expansion

In terms of revenue, the company reported a 20% surge in the first half of the current fiscal year. The revenue reached Rs 4,836 crore in H1 FY25, up from Rs 4,029 crore in H1 FY24. This increase in revenue is primarily backed by the company's robust greenfield capacity addition of 2,868 MW and consistent plant performance.

The company's operational capacity expanded impressively by 34% year-on-year to 11,184 MW. This expansion was facilitated by greenfield additions, including 2,000 MW of solar capacity and 250 MW wind capacity in Khavda, 418 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan, and 200 MW of wind capacity in Gujarat.

Energy sales also increased by 20% year-on-year, propelled by the robust capacity additions and strong operational performance. In FY24, AGEL's PPA-based electricity generation was 111% of the annual commitment. In H1 FY25, AGEL has already generated 57% of the annual commitment.

AGEL's Commitment to Decarbonizing Industries

The company's commitment to decarbonizing industries is evident in its recent move to enter the commercial and industrial (C and I) space. The company signed its first contract in this space, underscoring its commitment to sustainable practices. The company plans to expand its merchant and C and I exposure to 15% by 2030.

AGEL has also received a letter of award to supply 5 GW of solar energy under a 25-year power purchase agreement with MSEDCL. This significantly bolsters its contracted portfolio and propels it forward to its 50 GW goal by 2030.

The company's CEO, Amit Singh, stated that Adani Green is well on track to achieve its 2030 RE capacity target of 50 GW, including at least 5 GW of energy storage. This ambitious target is a reflection of the company's commitment to renewable energy and its belief in the potential of green energy solutions.

Adani Green Energy Ltd's strong financial performance in the first half of FY25 is a testament to its robust operational efficiency, strategic capacity additions, and disciplined capital management. The company's commitment to sustainable practices and renewable energy is evident in its ambitious targets and its recent move to enter the commercial and industrial space.
