In a regulatory filing, the Adani Group company said it continues to rank ahead of other major Indian thermal, mixed-fuel, and integrated energy companies, highlighting its focus on ESG practices, sustainable growth, and responsible business operations.

Adani Power said its continued focus on a broad range of ESG initiatives, along with operational excellence, is benchmarked against leading industry standards. The company has adopted advanced low-emission technologies, including ultra-supercritical units, to reduce its carbon footprint, while also investing in continuous monitoring and corrective systems.

The company has also implemented measures to improve energy efficiency, conserve water, and ensure responsible waste management across its operations.

In other recent assessments, Adani Power scored 71 out of 100 in S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and 4.3 out of 5.0 in the FTSE Russell ESG rating. For FY26, CareEdge ESG Ratings awarded the company a score of 80 out of 100, placing it in the 'Leadership' category and 35% above the industry median.

The company said these independent assessments reinforce its continued commitment to strengthening ESG practices and driving sustainable and responsible growth.
