Currently, over 38 per cent of our supply is green. This Diwali, we achieved a landmark by fuelling Mumbai entirely with 100 per cent renewable energy, demonstrating our dedication to a sustainable future.”

On the occasion of Diwali, Adani Electricity supplied 100 per cent renewable energy to the city for four hours.1,200 MW of power from renewable sources went to the firm's three million subscribers between 10 am and 2 pm, making up 40 per cent of the power supply in the city at the time.
