AESL secured the interstate transmission system (ISTS) project through the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process, with REC Power Development and Consultancy (RECPDCL) coordinating the bid process.

Operating under the diversified Adani portfolio, AESL is active in power transmission, distribution, smart metering and cooling solutions.

In the retail electricity distribution sector, AESL serves 13 million consumers in metropolitan Mumbai and the industrial hub of Mundra SEZ.

In March 2025, AESL won a Rs28bn power transmission project in Gujarat.

The project aims to bolster the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia in Mundra and will be completed by 2028.

It involves upgrades to the Navinal (Mundra) electrical substation, including the installation of two large 765/400kV transformers.

A 75km long 765kV double-circuit line will link the substation to the Bhuj substation.
