Ddev Plastiks Industries has officially announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) sector, signalling a significant expansion into India’s renewable energy ecosystem. The company’s Board of Directors approved the initiative at its latest meeting, approving an initial investment of ₹150–200 crore for the first phase of the project.
The planned facility, which will have a 5 GWh capacity, aims to serve as both a manufacturing and innovation hub. According to the company, this move will enhance sustainability, improve cost efficiency, and strengthen its position in an increasingly competitive energy landscape.
Focus on R&D and Technological Advancements
A major highlight of the project is the establishment of a dedicated Research and Development (R&D) centre, designed to focus on advanced battery technologies and innovative energy storage solutions. This centre is expected to bolster Ddev Plastiks’ technological capabilities, supporting the development of products that meet emerging regulatory standards and evolving customer expectations.
The company stated that the new BESS segment is projected to contribute to revenues starting from the second half of FY 2026–27, underscoring its strategic importance for the company’s growth.
Aligning with India’s Renewable Energy Transition
Ddev Plastiks’ entry into the BESS sector aligns with the country’s push for a clean energy future, where intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind require reliable storage solutions to maintain grid stability. The company highlighted that energy storage is critical for managing fluctuations in power generation and supporting India’s renewable energy ambitions.
The global BESS market is experiencing rapid growth, with projections estimating an increase from USD 56.29 billion in 2024 to USD 186.90 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.13%. In India, the BESS market is expected to reach 208 GWh capacity with an estimated value of USD 32 billion by 2030, emphasizing the potential for strategic players like Ddev Plastiks.
By combining manufacturing, R&D, and sustainable energy solutions, Ddev Plastiks aims to establish itself as a key contributor to India’s evolving energy storage landscape, supporting both commercial and grid-scale applications while contributing to the broader renewable energy transition.
