What Avaada does

Avaada Group is an Indian privately held clean energy conglomerate headquartered in New Delhi, operating across the full renewable power value chain — utility-scale solar, wind, hybrid, firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and pumped hydro storage — alongside a vertically integrated solar manufacturing subsidiary, Avaada Electro, that produces N-Type TOPCon modules (8.5 GW capacity) and is commissioning India's largest solar cell plant at 6 GW in Butibori, Nagpur, backed by ~₹13,000 crore of investment. The group is also extending into green hydrogen, green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with a stated 29.8 MMT CO2 reduction potential, and is targeting a 30 GW renewable portfolio by 2030 versus 7.2 GWp operational and 10.5 GWp under construction today across more than 170 projects.

The company monetizes primarily through long-term (25-year) Power Purchase Agreements with central and state government utilities (SJVN, NTPC, SECI, UP DISCOM) secured via competitive bidding at CERC-approved tariffs (₹2.68-4.70/kWh), supplemented by captive and group captive PPAs with commercial and industrial off-takers such as Bharti Airtel, Bharat Forge, and the Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation. A second revenue stream is hardware sales of Grade A Wood Mackenzie-ranked modules and cells from Avaada Electro to third-party developers, rooftop installers, and C&I customers through a growing partner network. Future streams include dispatchable FDRE tariffs (~₹4.25-4.70/kWh) supported by the Bikaner 2,500 MWh + 1,560 MWp storage project and emerging green molecule exports. The group is backed by GPSC (PTT Group Thailand, 41.6% of Avaada Energy since 2021, ~$454M), Bharti Airtel (9% of Avaada Clean, 2022), and Brookfield's Global Energy Transition Fund, with global lenders including Standard Chartered, SMBC, MUFG, HSBC, DBS, BNP Paribas, NaBFID, NIIF, and AIFL participating in large-scale debt facilities. The Brookfield- and GPSC-backed manufacturing subsidiary Avaada Electro received SEBI observations in April 2026 for a planned ₹9,000-10,000 crore IPO.
