Adani Power achieves "aspiring" ESG rating from NSE Sustainability

Adani Power Limited, India's largest private sector power generator, announced on December 16, 2025, that it has been placed in the "Aspiring" category by NSE Sustainability Ratings and Analytics Limited. The company received a score of '65' from the NSE subsidiary, reflecting its strong commitment to ESG principles and sustainable growth. This rating positions Adani Power higher than other major thermal, mixed fuel, and integrated energy companies in a similar appraisal.

The company's ESG performance is benchmarked against industry standards, with a focus on advanced emission management technologies like Ultra Super Critical boilers and a zero liquid discharge system for water conservation. Socially, Adani Power has expanded community development programs, including education, healthcare, and skill-building initiatives. Governance aspects also exceed regulatory minimums, with independent director representation in the Nomination and Remuneration, Audit, and Risk Management Committees surpassing statutory guidelines.

These results are consistent with recent global appraisals, including Sustainalytics' ESG Risk Rating of 'Medium Risk' with a score of 29.2 (lower is better, compared to the Global Electric Utility Industry average of 36.9) and a CSR HUB ESG rating of 77% (significantly better than the Global industry average of 51%). Adani Power currently has an installed thermal power capacity of 18,110 MW across twelve power plants and a 40 MW solar power plant in Gujarat.
