GEON Commissions 2.88 GWh BESS Project at Khavda, Marking Major Milestone in India’s Energy Storage Sector

GEON, the future technologies division of Kabra Extrusiontechnik, has successfully completed the integration and commissioning of a 2.88 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, within five months. This  project is one of the largest utility-scale BESS deployments in India and is now fully commercially operational.

The installation is part of the growing renewable energy infrastructure at Khavda, which is emerging as one of India's key clean energy hubs. Geon's scope covered system integration, execution, testing and commissioning including the integration of Power Conditioning Systems (PCS), transformers and advanced energy management systems (EMS).

Anand Kabra, Chairman and Managing Director at Geon – Green Energy ON, said, "The Khavda project is a meaningful marker of how quickly energy storage infrastructure is scaling in India. Battery storage is no longer a supporting technology; it is fast becoming central to how we manage and deliver clean power at grid scale. We are proud to have delivered this project on time and look forward to building on this momentum."

Saurabh Jain, CEO, Energy Storage, Geon, added, “GEON successfully delivered the 2.88 GWh BESS Khavda project as nodal agency, completing the entire scope within an impressive timeline of just five months. The achievement reflects strong planning, efficient execution, and seamless coordination between the engineering and on-site project teams. This milestone highlights GEON’s capability in executing large-scale energy storage projects with speed, precision, and high standards of quality. As India's renewable capacity grows, infrastructure like this will be critical to making that capacity reliable and dispatchable."

The project comes amid accelerating investments in battery storage across India, driven by the country's renewable energy targets and the growing need for grid balancing solutions. Geon's long-term strategy includes manufacturing BESS domestically, with plans underway for a gigafactory to support future demand and strengthen India's energy storage ecosystem.
