Ahmedabad-based Sahaj Solar plans to establish a battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility in Gujarat, with a proposed investment of approximately Rs 250 billion. The facility is expected to have an annual production capacity of 1.8 GWh, catering to the growing demand for energy storage solutions in India and overseas.
The company aims to install and commission the proposed factory within 12 months. Its production will serve domestic and international markets, supporting the increasing need for battery storage systems as solar power capacity expands.
Battery energy storage systems play an important role in storing surplus renewable energy and supplying electricity when required. These solutions can help improve renewable energy integration, support grid reliability and manage fluctuations in power generation.
The planned facility will also strengthen Sahaj Solar’s vertical integration by adding battery storage manufacturing to its existing solar module business.
Established in 2010, Sahaj Solar manufactures mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline photovoltaic modules. The company currently operates a 100 MW manufacturing facility at Bavla, Gujarat, and is also expanding its manufacturing capacity at Dakor.
The proposed investment marks a planned expansion of the company’s manufacturing operations and reflects the growing focus on combining solar power generation with energy storage technologies to meet future electricity requirements.
