London (27.06.2026): The Adani Group is planning to invest in large-scale energy storage including pumped hydro and utility-scale batteries, expanding transmission networks to move power efficiently across the country and developing green hydrogen ecosystems. The Company is doing it all, at a scale and speed the world has rarely seen. Because incremental change will not cut it. The Group has committed over $100 billion towards energy transition — one of the largest private-sector commitments in the world.
Speaking at Adani Green Electrification Dialogue at the London Science Museum in collaboration with the Energy Transitions Commission, Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Green Energy, said, “We are doing it all, at a scale and speed the world has rarely seen. Because incremental change will not cut it. To make this a reality, our Chairman, Gautam Adani, has committed over 100 billion dollars towards energy transition — one of the largest private-sector commitments in the world. This is not a set of isolated investments, but an integrated strategy. For us at Adani Green, this is not just a financial pledge. It is our marching order.”
Sagar Adani said, “Today, all countries – developed or developing – are being forced to come to terms with what it means to future-proof their economies against relentless geopolitical shocks. At the same time, for most of the developing world, where hundreds of millions of people are rising into the middle class and are increasing their energy consumption for a better quality of life, affordability of energy continues to remain a fundamental necessity. And of course, these constant geopolitical disruptions have turned this necessity into a monumental battle for survival.”
Sagar Adani further said, “Completely independent of the two factors above, most countries in the world have also not been able to diversify themselves off fossil fuel sources and move to predominantly green sources of power. The concern of climate change and the sustainability of energy use from Renewable and clean sources have also not been addressed in one global voice.”
Energy Security, Energy Affordability, and Energy Sustainability. This is the ultimate global trifecta. He said, “As we’ve all discussed I’m sure many times before, one of the small answers to this challenge is electrification of the economy. I thank Lord Adair Turner for leading our upcoming panel on how to accelerate this global shift of electrification and I look forward to the insights from Greg Jackson and Alice Williams.”
Talking about the one country whose explosive growth in energy consumption is going to arguably be one of the most critical factors affecting the global energy roadmap going forward. India. Nowhere is electrification more critical and even challenging, than in India. He said, “It is helpful to consider India’s electricity demand and supply in the broader context of the country’s final energy consumption. In 2024, India consumed about 10,000 Terawatt-hours across all sources — coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewables. China, with a similarly sized population of 1.4 billion, consumed 32,810 Terawatt-hours, or more than three times as much.”
Putting the scale of India’s challenge into perspective, he said, “We are talking about a structural leap, adding nearly 2,000 gigawatts of new capacity over the next two decades. All while ensuring that this energy remains affordable, accessible, and increasingly clean. That is the scale of the opportunity. And that is India’s defining challenge. For India, the path forward is clear. We must electrify everything, reducing structural dependence on imported energy.”
“We must build an energy backbone anchored in resources that are available within the country. And this is where we must be pragmatic, leveraging every energy source available to us. Renewables. Hydro. Efficient thermal. And nuclear. Because without firm, scalable baseload power, the math simply does not work. It would also be incomplete not to recognize the role that the government and the country’s leadership have played in enabling this journey,” he added.
