The race toward renewable energy has never been more urgent. As climate change challenges grow, businesses and industries must act quickly to reduce their carbon footprints and adopt cleaner energy solutions. Leading the charge in India is Aditya Birla Group’s renewables arm, Aditya Birla Renewables. From humble beginnings, it has rapidly transformed into a clean energy powerhouse. With innovative thinking, a clear vision for the future, and bold steps, Aditya Birla Renewables is not only changing India’s green energy landscape but is also poised to be at the forefront of the worldwide shift toward a low-carbon economy.
Green Beginnings: The Early Leadership by Aditya Birla Renewables
Aditya Birla Renewables was founded in 2011, just as India launched its Jawaharlal Nehru Solar Mission, a transformative initiative that would shape the future of renewable energy in the country. From the very start, the company was one of the pioneers in this journey, helping launch India’s green energy transformation. Over the past decade, through partnerships, innovation, and growth, Aditya Birla Renewables has positioned itself as a leader in India’s renewable energy sector.
A Diversified and Robust Energy Portfolio
Today, Aditya Birla Renewables projects a substantial 2.1 GW portfolio of renewable energy assets spread across 10 states in India. This diverse portfolio includes solar, wind, hybrid solar-wind, floating solar, and even battery storage solutions. The company’s expansive mix of projects ensures a reliable, sustainable energy supply for both government utilities and the commercial sector.
What sets Aditya Birla Renewables apart is its ability to adapt to the evolving energy needs across the country. From large-scale utility projects to tailored industrial solutions, the company is actively working with states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Gujarat to meet power demands while advancing sustainability goals. Whether it’s delivering large-scale solar energy or integrating wind and solar solutions, the company’s focus is on providing affordable and sustainable energy.
Innovating to a Sustainable Future
Aditya Birla Renewables is not just keeping pace with the renewable energy industry—it’s helping shape its future. The company is pioneering new frontiers, such as round-the-clock renewable energy solutions. These innovative projects ensure electricity is available 24/7, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. This breakthrough could make renewable energy as dependable as conventional power sources.
Looking ahead, Aditya Birla Renewables is investing in green hydrogen and ammonia-based power solutions. Green hydrogen, often regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels, has the potential to transform industries such as transportation and heavy manufacturing. Likewise, ammonia-based power generation could offer a new way to produce cleaner energy. By exploring these technologies, Aditya Birla Renewables is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of energy innovation.
Additionally, the company is preparing to manufacture its own solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. By producing these in-house, Aditya Birla Renewables strengthens its supply chain and helps reduce India’s reliance on imported solar technology, fostering a self-reliant renewable energy industry.

Sustainability is at the heart of Aditya Birla Renewables’ strategy. The company is not just providing renewable energy; it is building an ecosystem where clean, green solutions become the norm. By focusing on solar, wind, and hybrid energy, Aditya Birla Renewables is helping India reduce its carbon footprint and play a crucial role in the fight against climate change.
The company’s collaborations with government utilities have enabled it to integrate renewable energy at scale, helping meet both national and local energy needs. In states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, Aditya Birla Renewables has been instrumental in driving the transition to clean energy, helping India progress toward a more sustainable future.
The Future of Energy
The future of energy is both exciting and transformative, and Aditya Birla Renewables is ready to lead the way. The company is exploring cutting-edge technologies such as round-the-clock energy solutions and sustainable fuels like green hydrogen and ammonia. These technologies are not just futuristic ideas—they are essential for achieving a net-zero carbon future.
In addition, the company’s move to manufacture solar PV modules will help lower renewable energy costs and stimulate the growth of India’s solar industry. This will make renewable energy even more affordable for businesses and households nationwide, accelerating the adoption of green energy solutions.
