The order, valued in the low three-digit million-euro range, will be recorded in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026. Under the agreement, the company will deliver three advanced reversible pump turbines, motor-generators, and associated electromechanical systems. The scope includes design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of the complete units.
Execution of the project will leverage ANDRITZ’s manufacturing capabilities in India, supported by its global engineering expertise and project delivery network. This integrated approach ensures efficient deployment of high-performance hydropower and energy storage solutions.
The Bhivpuri pumped storage plant is expected to play a crucial role in supporting Maharashtra’s expanding renewable energy capacity. As solar and wind power generation increases, large-scale energy storage in India becomes essential for maintaining grid balance and ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply.
Pumped storage plants function as energy reservoirs by storing excess electricity during low-demand periods and releasing it during peak demand. This capability enhances grid flexibility and supports the integration of variable renewable energy sources. Once operational, the Bhivpuri project will significantly improve grid stability and enable reliable, clean power delivery across the region.
According to Ravindra G, Regional Executive and Managing Director and CEO of ANDRITZ Hydropower India, large-scale storage solutions are vital for integrating renewable energy and ensuring long-term decarbonisation. He highlighted that advanced pumped storage technologies will help build resilient and future-ready power systems.
Tata Power continues to expand its clean energy portfolio through strategic investments in pumped hydro storage projects. With expertise spanning power generation, transmission, and distribution, the company is focusing on developing firm and dispatchable renewable energy solutions.
By combining renewable energy generation with storage infrastructure, Tata Power aims to enhance grid reliability and support higher integration of solar and wind energy. The Bhivpuri project represents the first major pumped storage collaboration between Tata Power and ANDRITZ, marking a significant milestone in their partnership.
