With this milestone, 2,250 MW of cumulative capacity has been made operational at the Khavda plant, strengthening AGEL’s leadership in India with the largest operational portfolio of 11,184 MW.
“Khavda has one of the best wind resources in India, with speeds of 8 metres per second making it an ideal location to harness wind energy.

The 5.2 MW turbine features a rotor diameter of 160 metres and a tip height of 200 metres, equivalent to the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest located in Gujarat.
