Ahmedabad: India’s independent power producer, Adani Power Ltd, has recently unveiled its infrastructural expansion plan for the generation of thermal power capacity of 23,720 MW by FY32. This ambitious plan was shared by the company during its annual stakeholder presentation at its AGM.

It is noteworthy that the ambitious expansion project would entail capex of ₹2 trillion. Structurally, the blueprint leans heavily on high-efficiency, advanced generation technology: it allocates 22,400 MW of the total target to twelve ultra-supercritical units (generating 800 MW each), while the remaining 1,320 MW will be brought online via two traditional 660 MW supercritical installations.

To insulate the mega-project pipeline against developmental bottlenecks, the corporate major has already completely locked in land availability and secured binding power purchase agreements for 13,320 MW of the targeted capacity. Furthermore, construction is actively underway for 7,720 MW. This active phase features heavy brownfield additions across existing sites in Mahan (Madhya Pradesh), Raipur and Raigarh (Chhattisgarh), alongside a major greenfield thermal plant progressing at Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.

Outside its domestic thermal expansion, Adani Power is branching directly into international renewable infrastructure. The firm has entered a joint partnership with Bhutan’s state-owned Druk Green Power Corporation to engineer a 5-gigawatt (GW) cross-border hydroelectric framework designed to supply clean, round-the-clock electricity to both national grids.

This capital intensive expansion follows on the heels of major organic acquisitions executed during the previous financial year, where the company bought Vidarbha Industries Power’s 600 MW Butibori facility for ₹4,000 crore and Jaiprakash Associates’ 1,800 MW Churk generation asset for ₹4,194 crore.

Ultimately, this ₹2-trillion rollout will lift Adani Power’s total power generation matrix from its current operational base of 18,330 MW up to a massive long-term generation capacity of nearly 42 GW. Parent company chairman Gautam Adani emphasized that this rapid scale-up is closely integrated into a broader conglomerate-wide infrastructure push, supporting national supply security across concurrent data center projects, industrial parks, and manufacturing corridors over the next five to seven years.
