The project, expected to be one of the largest in the country, will support India's future energy economy and hyperscale data centres.
The state government has allocated 29.20 million cubic meters of water for initial filling and 2.20 MCM annually to support evaporation losses from the existing Gandikota reservoir.
The project is eligible for incentives under the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, aiming to generate employment for 7.5 lakh people and investments worth ₹10 lakh crore.
The Gandikota-2 PSP is scheduled to be completed within 72 months, expanding the Adani Group's national pumped storage portfolio.
