As part of Phase 1, the company will establish a 5 GWh BESS manufacturing facility by FY 2026-27, with an initial capital outlay of approximately INR 150-200 crore, the company stated in a regulatory filing.
A key feature of this initiative will be the development of a state-of-the-art research and development (R&D) centre, focused on advanced battery technologies and innovative energy storage solutions to strengthen the company's technological capabilities and market positioning, the company stated.
The company roped in Dr. Rakesh Kumar as CEO – Renewables to lead the company’s foray into BESS manufacturing along with solar plus BESS EPC initiative.
Sharing an update on the initiative, Kumar said, “From August 1, 2026, we will be commercially ready to supply utility-scale BESS containers of 5 MWh each, fully Made in India, designed for grid-scale and renewable-integrated applications. Our manufacturing ecosystem is being established with a fully automatic assembly line, covering the entire value chain – from cell testing to module and pack assembly, and final container integration – backed by a strong in-house engineering and technology team.”
He further added, “Our planned and practically achievable capabilities include the manufacturing of 5 MWh BESS containers for utility-scale deployment, with a production capacity of up to four containers per day, translating into a minimum output of 1,200 containers annually, supported by comprehensive end-to-end in-house testing facilities.”
The company sees an opportunity in the segment as India’s share of renewable power increases and energy storage becomes crucial for maintaining grid stability. The global BESS market is estimated to grow from USD 56.29 billion in 2024 to USD 68.70 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 186.90 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 22.13 percent. In India, BESS capacity could reach 208 GWh with an estimated market value of USD 32 billion by 2030, it said.
