In a significant move for India’s renewable energy sector, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) refinanced its $1.06 billion construction facility on a successful note. The strategic decision is set to spur the development of the nation’s largest solar-wind hybrid energy cluster in Rajasthan, highlighting AGEL’s commitment to forging sustainable energy.
Strategic Financial Restructuring for Sustainable Growth
Originally set up in 2021, the construction plant has been restructured with a 19-year fully amortizing debt profile. The structuring synchronizes the debt repayment horizon with the operating life of AGEL’s renewable assets, thus ensuring financial stability and facilitating the long-term growth trajectory of the company.

Renewed Investor Confidence Amid Legal Challenges
This is the first significant AGEL fundraiser since legal controversy erupted in November 2024. The United States Department of Justice accused senior officials, including Adani Chairman Gautam, with suspected bribery for awarding solar energy contracts. Adani Group has rejected such allegations numerous times, calling them “baseless” and expressing that it would take recourse of all the available legal remedies.
Despite these, AGEL’s achievement of securing long-term funding of considerable sums is an indication of revived confidence in its core business and future by investors.This confidence is further bolstered by the facility’s AA+/Stable rating from three prominent domestic rating agencies: ICRA, India Ratings, and CareEdge Ratings
Driving India’s Renewable Future with Ambitious Goals
As a leader in India’s renewable energy sector, AGEL operates a 12.2 GW renewable portfolio across 12 states. The company has aggressive plans to reach 50 GW by 2030 in line with India’s decarbonization. By leveraging the use of advanced technology to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), AGEL is making clean energy affordable at scale.
A Testament to Resilience and Commitment
This successful restructuring not only establishes AGEL’s strength amidst court cases but also its unrelenting determination to drive India’s renewable energy sector forward. As the company persists with its expansion strategy, it remains a driving force in transforming India’s energy sector and shaping a greener future.
