AHMEDABAD: In December 2025, Chairman of the diversified infrastructure major Adani Group, Gautam Adani, stood in the vast expanse of the Great Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The landscape was stark. The intent was clear. This was the site of one of India’s most ambitious renewable energy projects. The visit was not symbolic — it reinforced a strategy centred on scale, speed and execution.
India’s energy challenge is intensifying. The country is home to the world’s second largest population. Its economy is expanding rapidly. Power demand is rising in step. Peak electricity demand grew from around 250 gigawatts (GW) in the financial year (FY) 2025 and is projected to reach nearly 388 GW by FY 2032.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), India’s energy consumption will grow 1.5 times faster than the global average over the next 30 years. Power demand is expected to rise by 25 to 35 per cent by 2030. Meeting this demand while decarbonising the grid will require renewables to scale quickly and reliably.
