Ahmedabad, March 6: The Adani Group has been designated as the official partner for the World Engineering Day (WED) 2026, an international observance declared by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and organized by the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO).
This marks the first time a Indian organization has been selected by WFEO to honor engineers’ contributions on World Engineering Day.
As India’s largest transport, utility, and infrastructure developer, the Adani Group emphasized that this recognition reflects its leadership in accelerating the clean energy transition and its capacity to provide large-scale, clean, reliable, and affordable electricity. This effort strengthens India’s energy security while contributing to global sustainable development goals, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 7.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Green Energy, stated, “We are demonstrating that clean energy can be both large-scale and affordable. It is powerful yet inclusive. This is India’s contribution to the world and a model where progress and sustainability advance together. Our Khavda renewable energy plant symbolizes India’s climate action. It showcases the collective strength of Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani New Industries, working together to promote an integrated renewable future.”
The theme for WED 2026 is “Smart Engineering for a Sustainable Future through Innovation and Digitalization.”
The Adani Group’s initiatives in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and large-scale transport and utility systems clearly illustrate this vision, showing how technology-based engineering can enable sustainable development in real-world scenarios.
The planned capacity for the Khavda renewable energy project in Gujarat is 30 gigawatts by 2029. This project has been highlighted by WFEO as a significant example of India’s green transition under its World Engineering Day 2026 program, featuring a short film that showcases its vast scale, ambition, and impact.
Spanning 538 square kilometers, the project is five times larger than Paris and roughly equivalent to the city of Mumbai. Upon completion, it will be the largest power plant in the world across all energy sources.
To date, AGEL has operationalized over 7 gigawatts of cumulative renewable energy capacity at Khavda and aims to deliver the full 30 gigawatts by 2029.
