Trontek Expands Into BESS, Targets 12 GWh Capacity by 2028

Trontek Electronics, an Indian energy technology company, is expanding into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with a Made-in-India portfolio spanning residential, Commercial and Industrial (C&I), industrial and utility-scale applications.

The expansion marks the next phase of Trontek’s evolution in battery technology, electric mobility, charging and energy solutions. The company is targeting 12 GWh of annual BESS manufacturing capacity by 2028, creating the scale to support its growing presence across C&I and utility-scale energy storage markets.

Trontek’s move into BESS comes as energy storage becomes increasingly important to India’s transition towards renewable energy and electrification. Its portfolio is designed to address diverse requirements - from residential energy management and commercial power optimisation to industrial applications and utility-scale storage.

Speaking about the expansion, Samrath S. Kochar, Founder and CEO, Trontek, said, “The next energy revolution will not be about generating more power, but about making energy more intelligent, flexible and accessible. As mobility, homes, industry and the grid converge, storage will become a defining layer of the new energy economy. BESS is the next evolution of Trontek’s two-decade journey in battery and energy technology - taking our expertise from powering applications to enabling energy systems at scale, built in India for the opportunities ahead. India has the opportunity to build globally competitive energy storage capabilities. Trontek intends to help shape that future.”

The company is offering a multi-application Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) portfolio ranging from 215 kWh to 5 MWh to address energy storage requirements across different scales and applications. For residential and distributed energy applications, its modular storage solutions support renewable energy utilisation, energy management and power resilience. The 215 kWh-class systems are designed for C&I applications, including hotels, offices and Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) manufacturing facilities, supporting demand management, energy optimisation and power reliability. The 418 kWh-class systems cater to larger facilities such as factories, warehouses, hospitals and industrial campuses. For utility and grid-scale requirements, Trontek’s 5 MWh systems are designed for industrial parks, utilities and large-scale solar-plus-storage projects, supporting renewable energy integration and grid flexibility.

For homes, Trontek’s solutions to support greater utilisation of renewable power and energy resilience; for C&I customers, they can help manage demand, optimise energy consumption and strengthen power reliability; while at industrial and utility scales, BESS can support renewable integration, grid flexibility and more efficient management of electricity supply and demand. 

The company strategizes local engineering and manufacturing, supported by capabilities across battery systems, testing, system integration, technology development and service. The company is developing solutions suited to India’s diverse operating environments and application requirements, while building the foundation to scale as demand for energy storage grows.

Trontek’s 12 GWh manufacturing capacity target by 2028 underlines its longer-term ambition to evolve from a battery technology and manufacturing company into a broader energy technology player, with energy storage emerging as a significant growth pillar alongside its mobility and other energy businesses.
