What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Our Assessment

Khavda has substantial generating assets in operation: Adani Green reported 9.4 GW commissioned at its own Khavda project by March 2026, with the larger buildout continuing. SJVN's 100 MW Raghanesda unit in Banaskantha also reached full commercial operation in October 2024, providing relevant district-level context. The reviewed records do not identify that smaller unit as the exact Banaskantha mega project intended by the manifesto. A consolidated count across all developers and both specified projects is unavailable, and completion of the full commitment exceeding 30,000 MW is not established. The promise is Partially Done.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Generating assets at Khavda establish meaningful commissioning progress. The full two-project scope exceeding 30,000 MW remains incomplete or unverified, and the precise promised Banaskantha mega project is not mapped.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Project-owner records verify commissioned Khavda capacity and the separate Raghanesda unit. Confidence is Medium because the exact Banaskantha mega-project mapping and a complete two-project capacity ledger remain uncertain.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • A current consolidated commissioned-capacity statement covering every developer in both named projects
  • Official mapping of the precise Banaskantha mega project meant by the manifesto
  • Completion certificates for the full promised project scope exceeding 30,000 MW
