Project Details and Impact
AdEnergy Solutions Ltd (AESL) announced on Friday the acquisition of a major power transmission project in Mundra, Gujarat. This initiative, titled “Transmission System for Green Hydrogen/Ammonia Manufacturing Potential in Mundra, Gujarat,” is designed to enhance the region’s capacity for producing green hydrogen and ammonia, critical to India’s sustainable energy goals. The project is set to cost Rs 2,800 crore and is expected to be completed within 36 months.
The project entails upgrades to the existing Navinal (Mundra) electrical substation. Specifically, AESL will install two large 765/400kV transformers, which are essential for increasing the substation’s capacity. In tandem with this upgrade, the company will construct a new 75 km long double-circuit power line, designed to connect the Navinal substation to the Bhuj substation. The network enhancement will add 150 circuit kilometers of transmission lines, increasing AESL’s total transmission infrastructure to 25,928 circuit kilometers and boosting its transformation capacity to 87,186 MVA.
Winning this project under the Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process, AESL was facilitated by PFC Consulting Limited, which coordinated the bidding process. The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the project was officially transferred to AESL on March 20, 2025.
This project marks a significant achievement for AESL as it is the sixth order won in the current fiscal year. The company’s order book now totals an impressive Rs 57,561 crore, reflecting its growth trajectory and the expanding demand for renewable energy solutions in India.
