Tata Power has received its first set of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) from Tata AutoComp Systems Limited in Pune, marking a significant step in strengthening energy storage infrastructure for renewable power projects in India.
The BESS units were formally handed over to Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Power. The systems will be deployed for the construction of a 120 MW Energy Storage Park in Chhattisgarh, aimed at supporting the integration of renewable energy into the grid.
New BESS manufacturing facility inaugurated
Alongside the handover, Tata AutoComp inaugurated its state-of-the-art Battery Energy Storage System manufacturing facility in Pune. The facility was inaugurated by Praveer Sinha and Arvind Goel, Chairman of Tata AutoComp Systems Limited.
The lithium-ion-based BESS solutions will be manufactured through the joint venture Tata AutoComp Gotion Green Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd., which focuses on advanced battery technologies and energy storage solutions.
Boosting renewable energy reliability
Speaking on the collaboration, Praveer Sinha said the partnership highlights the growing importance of energy storage as India accelerates its clean energy transition.
He noted that with the rapid expansion of renewable energy, battery storage systems play a crucial role in addressing the intermittency of solar and wind power. The BESS will be integrated into Tata Power’s renewable energy projects to enable round-the-clock supply of clean electricity and strengthen grid stability.
Leveraging EV battery expertise
Arvind Goel said Tata AutoComp is leveraging its experience in electric vehicle battery technology to enter the rapidly growing energy storage sector.
He added that the company has been a pioneer in lithium-ion battery packs and battery management systems (BMS) for electric vehicles, and the same technological expertise is now being applied to large-scale energy storage systems for utilities.
Facility capacity and future supply
The newly inaugurated facility spans 22,227 square feet and will have a production capacity of 6 GWh, positioning it to serve the emerging energy storage market in India.
