Adani Green Energy Adopts TNFD for Nature-Positive Growth

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy producer, has announced a major expansion of its sustainability roadmap by adopting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework across all its operations. The move marks a significant shift from conventional ESG compliance toward a deeper, nature-positive development model.

AGEL confirmed that it has already begun comprehensive assessments across its project sites to map nature-related dependencies, potential ecological impacts, and emerging risks. These evaluations, initiated in FY24, were undertaken even before AGEL formally joined the TNFD Adopters group—illustrating the company’s intent to integrate biodiversity insights into strategic decision-making rather than treat them as routine disclosures.

 

Ashish Khanna, CEO of AGEL, said the company aims to ensure that India’s renewable energy expansion evolves hand-in-hand with ecological restoration. “Nature is integral to our long-term progress. By aligning with TNFD principles, we are strengthening ecosystem resilience alongside clean energy infrastructure. This approach supports sustainable value creation for communities, investors, and the planet,” he said.

The TNFD is a global science-driven initiative, developed by UNEP-FI, UNDP, WWF and Global Canopy, providing organizations with a standardized framework to assess and disclose nature-related risks and opportunities. AGEL’s adoption of TNFD positions it among the world’s leading renewable companies integrating biodiversity considerations at the core of their strategy.

In addition, AGEL reaffirmed its commitment to achieving No Net Loss of Biodiversity by 2030, supported by a large-scale ecological program that includes planting 27.86 million trees across its locations. The company is also a signatory to the India Business Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI & IBBI 2.0).

 

AGEL’s broader sustainability credentials include certified water-positive performance, single-use-plastic-free operations, and zero-waste-to-landfill project sites — demonstrating a robust environmental stewardship model.

With an operational renewable portfolio of over 16.5 GW across 12 states, AGEL is developing the world’s largest 30 GW renewable energy park in Khavda, Gujarat. The company aims to achieve 50 GW of green capacity by 2030, aligning with India’s long-term decarbonization targets.
