Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. (AESL) reportedly announced on Wednesday that all its operational sites and corporate headquarters have been certified Zero-Waste-to-Landfill (ZWL) by Intertek, a global quality assurance provider, as per the news reports. The company stated it achieved a 100% diversion rate, with no waste going to landfills.
The ZWL standard requires at least 90% of waste to be diverted from landfills. This is done by reducing, reusing, recycling, or recovering waste materials. The process helps in keeping resources in circulation for longer periods and lowers dependence on new raw materials.
AESL has recorded high diversion rates for 3 consecutive years: 99.87%, 99.88%, and 99.99%. With the latest achievement, the company became the first transmission utility in India to reach and maintain 100% diversion across its sites.
The company began its Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives in FY21, aiming to be among the top 10 electric utility companies globally on ESG benchmarks. The ZWL recognition is part of this broader programme started four years ago.
AESL has a presence across 54 locations in 16 states, including sites in remote areas. The company’s transmission network spans 26,696 circuit kilometres with a transformation capacity of 93,236 MVA. In distribution, it supplies power to more than 12 million consumers in Mumbai and Mundra SEZ. Its portfolio also includes smart metering and cooling solutions.
According to government reports, reforms such as GST cuts on waste treatment services have reduced costs for industries adopting sustainable practices. India currently has 222 Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs), of which 53 meet Zero Liquid Discharge standards. These facilities support industrial waste management and cleaner operations.

AESL’s certification across all its facilities indicates that waste at its sites is now fully managed through reuse, recycling, and recovery, with nothing sent to landfills.
