Mumbai-based power infrastructure developer Prostarm Info Systems will establish a 1.2 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing plant at the Reliance Model Economic Township in Jhajjar, Haryana.

The facility will be developed at a cost of ₹250 million (~$2.9 million).

The company has secured a nine-year land lease for the development of the BESS manufacturing plant. The lease includes a land parcel of 3,912.15 sq m and a covered shed area of 34,000 sq ft.

The BESS manufacturing facility will cater to both commercial and industrial, as well as utility-scale applications.

The plant is expected to be commissioned by the end of the financial year 2026.

The facility entails the setting up of plant and machinery, office infrastructure, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, power capacity upgrades, and anti-static flooring. It also includes warehousing and other essential infrastructure to enable high-end assembly and integration.

Prostarm provides services in design, manufacture, assembly, sale, and service of energy storage and power conditioning equipment.

It has a product portfolio comprising UPS systems, inverters, lift inverters, solar hybrid inverters, lithium-ion battery packs, servo-controlled voltage stabilizers, and isolation transformers.

The company also undertakes engineering, procurement, and construction projects in the rooftop solar space across India.

Recently, Prostarm Info Systems won a capacity of 30 MW/120 MWh in Bihar State Power Generation Company’s auction to set up a standalone BESS of a cumulative capacity of 125 MW/500 MWh.

According to Mercom India Research’s new report, India’s Energy Storage Landscape, India installed over 341 MWh of BESS in 2024, marking a more than sixfold increase from the 51 MWh installed in 2023. With these additions, India’s total installed battery energy storage capacity stood at approximately 442 MWh as of December 2024.

Around 60% of the installed capacity came from solar systems combined with battery storage, 36% from renewable energy integrated with round-the-clock capabilities, and approximately 4% from standalone BESS.
