Adani Green Energy reported a strong H1 FY2024 with revenue from power supply up 66% YoY to INR 4,029 crore and EBITDA up 58% to INR 3,775 crore, driven by a 78% increase in energy sales to 11,760 million units. The solar portfolio CUF improved 90 bps to 25.2%, while wind CUF rose 360 bps to 40.2%. Management reiterated its 45 GW target by 2030 and guided for 2.8-3 GW capacity addition in FY2024, with most commissioning in H2. The TotalEnergies JV for 1,050 MW (equity investment) and advanced refinancing discussions for RG-One bonds support the growth plan. Key risk: execution delays in Khavda or module supply constraints could impact the aggressive H2 commissioning schedule.
