Adani Energy Wins Rs. 25,000 Cr Bhadla-Fatehpur HVDC Project

Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) is a private transmission and distribution won a ₹25,000 crore order. The company is part of Adani’s diversified portfolio. It recently secured orders for Bhadla (Rajasthan)-Fatehpur (Uttar Pradesh) HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current). Adani got this order from REC Power Development & Consultancy Ltd (RECPDCL).

Adani Energy Solutions stated in a regulatory filing, “It’s AESL’s largest order win to date, taking its under-execution order book to ₹54,761 crores and transmission network to 25,778 ckm and 84,186 MVA transformation capacity. AESL won the project under the Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) mechanism, and REC Power Development & Consultancy Ltd (RECPDCL) was the bid process coordinator. The project SPV was formally transferred to AESL on January 20, 2025.”

The company added, “The transmission system for evacuation of power from REZ in Rajasthan (20 GW) under Phase-III Part I includes the establishment of a 6,000 MW HVDC system between Bhadla and Fatehpur (~2400 ckm) along with a 7500 MVA transmission capacity. The project will help evacuate 6 GW of renewable energy from various REZs in Rajasthan beyond Bhadla-III to demand centers in North India and to the national grid. AESL will deliver the project in 4.5 years.”

“By enabling efficient evacuation of renewable energy from some of the most inhospitable regions of the country and connecting them to the national grid, AESL is playing its role in India’s decarbonization journey. We will be deploying the latest technology and practices to deliver the project on time and with minimal environmental impact,” said Kandarp Patel, CEO of AESL.

AESL is one of the few players in the private sector to own an HVDC asset, which is preferred for long-distance power transmission. The Bhadla-Fatehpur project is AESL’s third HVDC project after the completed Mundra-Mahendragarh Project and the under-implementation Aarey-Kudus Project (being executed by subsidiary AEML).
