Adani Energy Solutions has raised long-term funding from a group of Japanese banks for its flagship HVDC transmission project. The project is aimed at moving renewable power across northern India.
Importance: this project will help carry solar power from Rajasthan to high-demand regions, ensuring green electricity doesn’t get stuck where it’s produced.
Breaking it down: the project is a ±800 kV HVDC transmission corridor with a capacity of 6,000 MW.
In simple terms, this means the project is a very high-power electricity highway that can carry a huge amount of power (enough for millions of homes) over long distances efficiently, with minimal loss.
It will stretch nearly 950 km, linking Bhadla in Rajasthan, one of India’s biggest solar hubs to Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh. Once commissioned by 2029, it will act as a green power highway, feeding renewable energy into the national grid and improving stability.
The project will use advanced power transmission technology from Hitachi, developed together with BHEL. The funding is classified as a green loan, meaning it meets global standards for environmentally friendly projects.
Big theme: the funding is led by MUFG Bank and SMBC, underlining deepening India–Japan collaboration in clean infrastructure.
Japan brings capital and cutting-edge transmission technology to the project. India, in return, gains a stronger power grid, more local manufacturing under Make in India, and faster integration of renewable energy.
