Adani Energy Charges Up: A ₹22,000 Crore Power Play for FY27

Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) is preparing to sharply increase its capital expenditure, with plans to invest around ₹22,000 crore in FY27 — marking a 47% rise over current levels — as it intensifies its focus on expanding its transmission network.

The company’s overall capex across transmission, distribution, and smart metering has already climbed steadily to nearly ₹15,000 crore, reflecting sustained investment momentum. Company official Kandarp Patel noted that this upward trajectory is expected to continue.

For FY27, transmission is set to receive the bulk of the investment at ₹15,500 crore. Distribution is projected to get about ₹2,350 crore, while smart metering is expected to account for roughly ₹3,900 crore, highlighting the company’s continued emphasis on strengthening its core transmission infrastructure.

Looking ahead, AESL plans to further scale up spending in FY28, with a projected capex of ₹25,000 crore. Of this, ₹20,000 crore is earmarked for transmission, ₹2,000 crore for distribution, and ₹1,500 crore for smart metering.

This planned rise in investments aligns with AESL’s broader strategy to expand infrastructure capacity and meet growing energy demand, with transmission remaining central to its long-term growth plans.
