Waaree ESS Commissions 5.15 GWh BESS Container Manufacturing Facility

Waaree Energy Storage Solutions, a subsidiary of Waaree Energies, has announced the  commencement of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Container Manufacturing Facility.

This BESS Container Manufacturing facility is of 5.15 GWh - uprated from an originally planned 3.5 GWh, driven by debottlenecking of production throughput and improved energy density of battery cells. The facility is equipped with advanced Industry 4.0 technologies, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), intelligent material handling, automated assembly lines and advanced testing and quality assurance systems. Designed for utility-scale; and commercial and industrial applications, to deliver high-quality, reliable and scalable energy storage solutions.

The BESS container facility is a milestone in Waaree ESS's manufacturing roadmap of 20 GWh. In the current financial year, the company intends to operationalise 5.15 GWh of Battery Pack Manufacturing that is uprated from an originally planned 3.5 GWh, driven by debottlenecking of production throughput and improved energy density of battery cells. Along with it  3.5 GWh of Lithium Cell Manufacturing that will create a domestic energy storage ecosystem, aiding India's clean energy ambitions while reducing dependence on imported technologies.

As India rapidly expands solar and wind power, BESS have become critical for ensuring reliable, round-the-clock electricity. BESS enables renewable energy generated during the day to be stored and supplied during peak demand, improving grid stability, reducing renewable curtailment and minimising reliance on conventional peaking power plants.Energy storage will enhance energy security, and enable a resilient, low-carbon power system. 

Through integrated manufacturing of lithium cells, battery packs and BESS containers, Waaree ESS is building comprehensive energy storage platforms. This investment supports the Government's Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives while offering customers reliable, locally manufactured energy storage solutions with quality and faster delivery.

Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Rathi, Director, Waaree, said, "Battery Energy Storage Systems are the backbone of a renewable-powered future. As India accelerates its clean energy transition, reliable and domestically manufactured energy storage will be essential for ensuring grid stability, energy security and sustainable growth.”

He further added, “The commencement of our advanced BESS container manufacturing facility is an important step towards building a fully integrated energy storage ecosystem. With planned capacities of 3.5 GWh lithium cells and 5.15 GWh battery packs, Waaree ESS is committed to delivering world-class, Made-in-India energy storage solutions that empower our customers and contribute to India's vision of becoming a global clean energy manufacturing hub."
