Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) has successfully commissioned a 1,000 MW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link to bolster the flow of renewable energy into Mumbai.
This project aims to improve grid reliability and energy security across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
The newly commissioned HVDC link, stretching from Kudus to Aarey, consists of a 30-km overhead line and a 50-km underground corridor.
This infrastructure is designed to operate efficiently within the constraints of Mumbai's dense urban environment. Notably, it includes the world's first compact HVDC substation, tailored for space-constrained settings.
The project was initiated following the October 2020 Mumbai blackout, which highlighted the vulnerabilities in the city's power supply.
By enabling Mumbai and the MMR to draw more electricity from external sources, including renewable energy, the HVDC link enhances the region's power connectivity.
The introduction of this 1,000 MW capacity significantly reduces the reliance on in-city power generation. It strengthens grid resilience and minimises the risk of large-scale outages.
The project aligns with AESL's broader strategy to support India's growing renewable energy capacity.
The project employs Voltage Source Converter (VSC)-based HVDC technology, which facilitates faster and more precise control of power flows.
This technology improves voltage stability and enhances grid reliability, particularly in urban environments. It also offers operational benefits such as dynamic voltage support, reduced transmission losses, and black-start capability.

As per exchange foilings, Kandarp Patel, CEO, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd., said, “With the commissioning of the Aarey–Kudus transmission line, Mumbai now has a modern power corridor capable of integrating large-scale renewable energy with high reliability.
It is one of the fastest HVDC project ever commissioned which is powered by advanced VSC-based HVDC technology. The project enhances grid stability, decongests existing networks and strengthens the city’s energy security. This marks a significant step towards a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Mumbai.”
As of April 13, 2026, at 3:30 PM, Adani Energy Solutions share price on NSE was closed at ₹1,175.30 up by 1.50% from the previous closing price.
The commissioning of the 1,000 MW HVDC link by Adani Energy Solutions marks a significant advancement in Mumbai's power infrastructure. It enhances the city's energy security and supports the integration of renewable energy, contributing to a more resilient power supply system.
