Essar Renewables Limited has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to develop 4 GW of advanced renewable energy projects integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Valued at approximately ₹20,000 crore, the agreement marks one of the largest clean-energy commitments ever made in the region.
The MoU was signed by Ankur Kumar, CEO of Essar Renewables, in the presence of Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, along with Shri K. Vijayanand, IAS, and Dr. M. Kamalakara Babu, during the 30th Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Partnership Summit 2025 held in Visakhapatnam.

According to Essar Renewables, the project is expected to generate over 7,000 direct and indirect jobs, further contributing to the state’s economic growth and reinforcing its position as a national clean-energy leader.
This collaboration underscores Andhra Pradesh’s growing role in India’s renewable energy transformation, aligning with national targets for sustainable development and energy transition.
