Ahmedabad, March 6: The Adani Group has been designated as the official partner for the World Engineering Day (WED) 2026, an international day 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 chosen by the WFEO to honor the efforts of engineers on World Engineering Day.
As India’s largest transport, utility, and infrastructure developer, the Adani Group stated that this recognition reflects its leadership in accelerating the clean energy transition and its capacity to provide large-scale, clean, reliable, and affordable electricity, contributing to India’s energy security and global sustainable development goals (Sustainable Development Goal 7).
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Green Energy, remarked, “We are demonstrating that clean energy can be both large-scale and affordable, powerful yet inclusive. This is India’s contribution to the world and a model where progress and sustainability move forward together. Our Khavda renewable energy plant symbolizes India’s climate action and showcases the collective strength of Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani New Industries working together to advance an integrated renewable future.”
The theme for WED 2026 is “Smart Engineering for a Sustainable Future through Innovation and Digitalization.”
The Adani Group’s work in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and large-scale transport and utility systems clearly illustrates this vision, showcasing how technology-based engineering can enable sustainable development in real-world scenarios.
The planned capacity of the Khavda renewable energy project in Gujarat is set to reach 30 gigawatts by 2029, highlighted by the WFEO as a significant example of India’s green transition under its World Engineering Day 2026 program, accompanied by a short film showcasing its vast scale, ambition, and impact.
Spanning 538 square kilometers, this project is five times the size of Paris and comparable to the city of Mumbai. Upon completion, it will be the world’s largest power plant across all energy sources.
AGEL has already operationalized over 7 gigawatts of cumulative renewable energy capacity at Khavda and aims to deliver the full 30 gigawatts by 2029.
