Energy and Emissions Management
At Adani, Energy and Emissions management are considered as high priority material topics. Our Energy Management Policy aids our efforts to manage energy consumption and emissions, integrate renewable energy sources wherever feasible, and adopt efficient ways of energy usage.
Our commitment to energy and emissions management goes beyond compliance; it is embedded in our corporate values. We actively monitor, measure, and report our energy consumption and emissions data to ensure transparency and accountability.
Through continual improvement and collaboration with our stakeholders, we strive to set new benchmarks for sustainable energy management in our industry. By doing so, we believe we can make a positive difference in mitigating climate change and safeguarding our planet.

Energy and Emissions Management Practices and Commitments of AEL:
Energy Intensity Reduction
We have achieved a significant 26% reduction in Energy Intensity (Per Rupee of Turnover) compared to FY 2021-22 at AEL Level.
Solar Manufacturing
The installation of rooftop solar plants with a capacity of 1.6 MW has contributed to the substitution of approximately 2% of its power requirement. Additionally, the business has procured an additional 13% of green energy from the grid to further enhance our sustainable energy portfolio.
Data Center
A PPA has been signed with Adani Green Energy to procure 50% Renewable Power. This commitment highlights our dedication to integrating clean energy solutions into the operations.
Airports
As part of decarbonisation strategy, 40% transition to electric vehicles in FY 2022-23 has been achieved.
Case studies
Commissioning Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Seamless Transition
To facilitate the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) at our airports and among stakeholders, we have commissioned electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS). On the landside, we have installed DC fast chargers with a capacity of 60 kW, featuring CCS2 type chargers with dual guns. These chargers can charge a car with a 20 kW battery capacity from 0 to 100% within just 60 minutes and a car with a 30 kW battery capacity in 1.5 hours.
To enable charging of passenger coaches and buses on the airside, we have installed both 60 kW and 240 kW chargers at Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram Airports. These fast chargers can charge a bus with a 240 kW battery capacity from 0 to 100% within 1.5 hours, ensuring reduced charging times and improved vehicle turnover.
The total number of EV charging stations stands at 24 on the land-side and 8 on the air-side, providing a significant boost to the adoption of electric vehicles in our airport ecosystem.
Green Building Excellence
The Chennai Data Center, operated by our Data Center business, has received the prestigious IGBC platinum certification, making it the First Data Center building in Tamil Nadu to achieve this distinction. The facility is recognized for its outstanding green building features and sustainability initiatives.
The facility is designed to be inclusive with environmentally friendly practices such as using chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) free refrigerants in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and installing CO2 sensors in nontechnical spaces. Water metering is implemented for flushing, irrigation, and domestic use, optimizing water management.
The Chennai Data Center sets a significant precedent in the industry, exemplifying the possibilities of sustainable and eco-friendly practices in data center operations.
