GE Vernova to supply HVDC for Adani Khavda corridor

GE Vernova Inc. has announced that its Electrification Systems business has been awarded a major contract by Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. to supply VSC-based HVDC technology for the 2.5 GW Khavda–South Olpad renewable power transmission corridor in India.

• Scope & scale: GE Vernova will design and supply a ±500 kV, 2,500 MW (2 × 1,250 MW) VSC-based bipolar HVDC system, including converter stations, major converter equipment, and erection/testing/commissioning (excluding civil works), using its eLumina™ control platform, with phased delivery and overall completion targeted by 2030; the letter of award is expected to be booked as an order in the first half of 2026.
• Project context: The Khavda–South Olpad corridor will evacuate large volumes of renewable electricity from Khavda in Gujarat’s Kutch region (a major renewable energy zone) to South Olpad as a key pooling and injection point into India’s national grid, representing the highest-rated VSC-based HVDC system planned in India and reinforcing GE Vernova’s long-standing role in India’s grid, including prior projects like the Champa–Kurukshetra HVDC link.
