The companies have also entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement.

Very recently, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) commissioned a 180MW solar power plant in the state of Rajasthan.
The plant, which has a 25-year agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), is expected to produce 540 million units of electricity annually.
This will power over 110,000 homes and reduce carbon emissions by about 390,000 tonnes. The plant utilises bifacial solar PV modules and horizontal single axis solar trackers (HSAT) to maximise efficiency.
Recently, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), an Indian automotive manufacturer, signed a memorandum of understanding with Adani Total Gas’ subsidiary to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India.
This partnership aims to develop a comprehensive EV charging infrastructure across the country. Last month, Adani Green Energy also operationalised 551MW solar power capacity in Gujarat.
