Ahead of International Women’s Day, the envoys visited the world’s largest renewable energy park, run by Adani Green Energy in Khavda, Gujarat, and India’s largest commercial port, operated by Adani Ports and SEZ Limited, in Mundra.
They were amazed to see women professionals and engineers contributing to India’s industrial, economic and energy transformation, underlining the growing role of women in shaping the country’s future.
Adani Green Energy, India’s largest renewables company, is developing the world’s largest clean energy plant. Built across 538 sqkm, it is five times the size of Paris and almost as large as Mumbai.

She added, “Adani has invested in Indonesia for a long time, so this visit has been very enlightening and very important for us to understand where India stands now and where Adani is now. It’s been an amazing visit. Hospitality is excellent.”
Emphasising the collaborative efforts between their countries and India to foster cleaner and greener solutions for the region and beyond, the envoys of Lithuania and Seychelles underscored the importance of sustainable energy and said that there is a lot that can be learned from the Adani group in terms of large-scale expansion to achieve a ‘win-win collaboration’ between countries.
Diana Mickeviciene, Ambassador of Lithuania to India to ANI, said, “I am participating in this great visit because the business developed here is relevant to my country, Lithuania. We have solar technologies and ports, and we look forward to establishing contacts for cooperation.”

She said, “I was inspired by what I saw. A couple of things stand out: the ‘scale’ and ‘sense of mission’. It is a very strategically placed objective. Using a landscape which is barren and developed to make it useful to the country in strategic ways. The high-level technology that we saw was outstanding.”
Highlighting India’s strides in clean energy, the Ambassador of Estonia appreciated India’s industrial development and said the country is “well equipped” to use renewable energy.
“We had an excellent and magnificent experience. It was impressive to see the scale of Khavda. I knew that it was big, but didn’t imagine it to be so big. It’s extremely important that we are using renewable energy. India is very well equipped. In northern countries like Estonia, we don’t have as much sun, and we don’t even have as much wind as India. So, we are struggling a little bit with those challenges. But it is very impressive to see that solar energy has been put into use to this extent,” added Ambassador Marje Luup.
