Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) announced its successful bid for the ₹25,000 crore Bhadla-Fatehpur High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) project. The project, part of India’s renewable energy evacuation strategy, aims to transmit 6,000 MW of renewable energy from Rajasthan to northern demand centers and integrate it with the national grid.

The project spans approximately 2,400 circuit kilometers (ckm) with a transmission capacity of 7,500 MVA. It was awarded through a tariff-based competitive bidding process managed by REC Power Development & Consultancy Limited. Ownership of the project’s Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) was officially transferred to AESL on January 20, 2025.

AESL plans to execute the project under a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) framework within 4.5 years. This addition increases AESL’s overall transmission network to 25,778 ckm and its transformation capacity to 84,186 MVA. The company’s current order book stands at approximately ₹54,761 crore.

This marks AESL’s third HVDC project, complementing the delivered Mundra-Mahendragarh and ongoing Aarey-Kudus projects. The technology employed in HVDC systems is preferred for long-distance energy transmission due to its efficiency.

AESL stated that the acquisition aligns with its strategy to enhance shareholder value through both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. The project’s development is expected to support India’s renewable energy transition and grid reliability efforts.
