Bengaluru-based startup Enectron Energy Storage Systems Pvt Ltd has launched a new line of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) targeted at utility-scale and commercial-industrial (C&I) applications across India. The company says its systems combine advanced lithium-based modules and intelligent controls, offering scalable solutions that integrate with solar, wind and grid power to enable round-the-clock clean electricity.
According to Enectron’s CEO, Vedvyas V, India’s grid is at an inflection point: while the government has committed to a 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030, the absence of adequate storage remains a bottleneck. “Our goal is to deploy BESS modules that are scalable, bankable and climate-positive—systems that make renewable energy truly round-the-clock,” he stated.
The new BESS platform is positioned for both small industrial setups and multi-megawatt installations serving utilities, data centres and microgrids, reflecting broad applicability.
Enectron says its storage systems have been developed in collaboration with global OEM partners, adhere to international safety and performance standards, and maintain cost-efficiency. The company is currently in discussions with EPC firms, independent power producers (IPPs) and industrial clients, with ambitions to deploy over 10 GWh of storage capacity across India in the coming years.
The launch is especially timely given the pressing need for storage in the Indian renewable ecosystem. With large-scale solar and wind being deployed, grid stability, intermittency and solar curtailment are major challenges. According to the India Smart Grid Forum’s “Energy Storage System Roadmap for India 2019-2032”, energy storage is a key enabler for integrating variable renewable energy (VRE) and ensuring grid flexibility.
By offering bankable storage platforms, Enectron could help address several industry pain-points: time-shifting renewable generation into peak demand hours, providing ancillary services, reducing solar curtailment and deferring grid upgrades. It may also open opportunities in behind-the-meter applications (industrial/self-consumption) and grid-scale ancillary markets.
While other large BESS projects are also underway in India — for example Solar Energy Corporation of India’s 40 MW/120 MWh project in Chhattisgarh — Enectron’s offering stands out for its broader commercial-industrial focus and ambition to rapidly scale.
In sum, by introducing a scalable and integrate-ready BESS platform, Enectron aims to bridge the gap between India’s renewable ambition and practical grid-level realisation of clean, reliable, dispatchable power—potentially accelerating the country’s energy transition.
