G R Infraprojects Limited has terminated its Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) agreements with NTPC Limited for a battery energy storage system (BESS) project and has initiated a formal dispute resolution process with the state-owned power company.
The terminated contract relates to the development of a BESS at NTPC’s Mouda Super Thermal Power Station in Maharashtra. The project was originally valued at ₹413.37 crore, excluding GST.
According to the company’s disclosure, the termination has taken effect immediately, while the parties have entered into the dispute resolution process in relation to the contracts.

Dispute Resolution Process
Following the termination, G R Infraprojects and NTPC have commenced a formal process to resolve matters arising from the EPC agreements.
The outcome of the dispute resolution process could determine the financial and contractual implications for both parties. Further details regarding the proceedings were not specified in the information available.
BESS Market Context
The development comes as India’s utility-scale battery energy storage sector continues to expand, with BESS projects being developed alongside renewable energy and conventional power infrastructure.
Utility-scale BESS projects involve battery systems, power conversion equipment, grid integration and associated electrical infrastructure, requiring coordination across multiple technology and construction components.
G R Infraprojects’ termination of the NTPC contracts removes the ₹413.37 crore project from its active BESS EPC portfolio, while the ongoing dispute resolution process will determine the subsequent contractual outcome.
The company has also recently faced other regulatory and legal developments. On August 25, 2026, it received a GST show-cause notice of ₹321.60 crore from tax authorities in Madhya Pradesh. Separately, on August 17, 2026, the Rajasthan High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by its subsidiary, Nagaur Mukundgarh Highways, in a matter involving a potential liability of ₹69.79 crore.
