ReNew Energy Global Plc (a global renewable company) has commissioned approximately 2.4 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in the fiscal year ending, the highest annual commissioning figure in the company's history, bringing its total operating portfolio to approximately 12.6 GW and establishing it as India's second largest renewable energy operator.

Record Commissioning Caps Landmark Year

The 2.4 GW commissioned during FY2026 comprises 1.75 GW of solar, 0.62 GW of wind, and 25 MW of battery energy storage systems carrying 100 MWh of storage capacity.

The total operating figure of 12.6 GW has been calculated after adjusting for 600 MW of assets that were sold during the year. ReNew described the commissioning volume as landing at the top end of its megawatt guidance for the period.

Beyond the commissioned assets, the company reported that approximately 450 MW of capacity has been fully constructed and is expected to be commissioned in the near term.

ReNew's gross capacity, which includes assets at various stages, stood at approximately 20 GW, including 1.7 GW of battery energy storage systems.

Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairperson, and Chief Executive Officer of ReNew, said the milestone underscored the strength of the company's execution capabilities. "This has been a defining year for ReNew, with the addition of 2.4 GW of renewable energy capacity — the highest we have ever commissioned in a single year."

Sinha said, "Rising power demand, cost competitiveness of renewable energy, and supportive policy frameworks in India create a long-term compelling growth backdrop and environment," he added, noting that the results were achieved despite global macro volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.

Commercial and Industrial Segment Draws Major Investment

ReNew's commercial and industrial arm, operating under the ReNew Green brand, has accumulated 2.5 GW of committed capacity, of which more than 2.0 GW is already commissioned.

The C&I portfolio counts global technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, among its partners.

ReNew Green secured a USD 95 million equity investment from a consortium led by Leapfrog Investments (an investing firm), providing fresh capital to support continued growth in the commercial and industrial clean energy segment.

Solar Manufacturing Expands Output and Capacity

ReNew has established itself as a significant player in domestic solar manufacturing, operating facilities with 6.5 GW of solar module production capacity and 2.5 GW of solar cell production capacity.

During FY2026, those facilities produced more than 4.1 GW of solar modules and nearly 1.86 GW of solar cells. The company is currently in the process of expanding its solar cell manufacturing capacity by an additional 4 GW, with that expansion targeted for completion by December 2026.

The manufacturing business also attracted outside investment during the fiscal year, receiving a $100 million equity injection from British International Investments.

Scale of Clean Energy Impact

With an operating capacity of approximately 12.6 GW, ReNew stated that its portfolio will generate sufficient clean energy to power 24 million households and avoid approximately 23 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually.

The company maintains a physical presence across India through more than 150 renewable energy sites and three operating solar manufacturing facilities spread across ten Indian states. ReNew currently employs approximately 4,500 people.

Company Profile

The company describes itself as a decarbonization solutions provider operating beyond its core independent power production activities, offering services across clean energy, digitalization-enabled energy products, storage, and carbon markets.
