(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Nov 11 (KNN) The Adani Group has announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) segment with a 1126 MW / 3530 MWh project, marking India's largest such installation and one of the biggest single-location deployments worldwide.

The project, involving more than 700 BESS containers, is scheduled for commissioning by March 2026, the company said in a release on Tuesday.

Located at Khavda - the site of the world's largest renewable energy plant - the storage system will use advanced lithium-ion technology integrated with energy management systems.

It is designed to store 3530 MWh of energy, enabling a power capacity of 1126 MW for roughly three hours.

The company said the project will support round-the-clock clean power supply, ease peak load stress, reduce transmission congestion, and minimise solar curtailment, thus strengthening grid stability and efficiency.

It is positioned as a key enabler of India's renewable energy transition and long-term energy security.

Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said the initiative underscores the company's commitment to scaling clean energy solutions.

“Energy storage is the cornerstone of a renewable-powered future. With this historic project, we are not only setting global benchmarks but also reinforcing our commitment to India's energy independence and sustainability. This initiative will enable us to deliver reliable, clean, and affordable energy solutions at scale,” he said.

Alongside this flagship deployment, the Group plans to add 15 GWh of BESS capacity by March 2027, targeting a total of 50 GWh over the next five years as it expands its storage portfolio in line with India's net-zero ambitions.
