ANDRITZ has announced that the company has secured an order from Torrent Power to supply key electromechanical equipment for a 3,000 MW pumped storage project in Maharashtra.

The Saidongar-1 Karjat pumped storage plant, being developed by Torrent Energy Storage Solutions, a subsidiary of Torrent Power, will have a total capacity of 3,000 MW, making it India’s largest pumped storage facility once operational, the company stated.

Under the contract, ANDRITZ will design, manufacture, install, test, and commission 10 reversible pump turbine units along with motor-generators and associated electromechanical systems. The project execution will leverage ANDRITZ’s manufacturing base in India, complemented by its global engineering network. The order value is in the low three-digit million euro range and will be booked in ANDRITZ’s Q1 2026 order intake, the company shared.

Once commissioned, the project is expected to generate around 6,241 GWh of electricity annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 4.55 million tons per year – equivalent to removing nearly one million cars from the road.

Torrent Power stated that the project marks a major milestone in its clean energy transition strategy and will play a critical role in enabling round-the-clock renewable power supply. The company emphasised that its collaboration with ANDRITZ combines strong engineering capability with utility-scale execution experience to deliver reliable and efficient infrastructure.

ANDRITZ is currently involved in seven pumped storage projects across the country.
