NEW DELHI: Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) on February 9 said it has secured long-term financing from a consortium of Japanese banks for its flagship high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission project. This project will ensure a 6,000 MW green evacuation corridor designed to strengthen the flow of renewable power across northern India — enough to power 60 million households.
The 950-kilometre corridor will connect Bhadla in Rajasthan to Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh. Scheduled for commissioning by 2029, the link is expected to become a critical green transmission artery — enabling large-scale renewable integration while strengthening grid stability for some of India’s most energy-intensive urban and industrial centres.
It will play a central role in evacuating renewable energy from Rajasthan’s solar-rich regions and delivering it to India’s national grid, supporting the country’s expanding clean power demand, said the Adani Group company.
“This project marks a defining step in building India’s green transmission backbone. The continued support from our Japanese partners — including leading banks and Hitachi — reflects the depth of the India-Japan partnership and our shared commitment to enabling a sustainable energy future,” said Kandarp Patel, CEO, AESL. AESL remains focused on developing resilient, future-ready transmission infrastructure to accelerate India’s energy transition, he added.
