Amara Raja has commissioned a 60 megawatt hour (MWh) battery CQP in Telangana, the company announced. The project was completed at a cost of Rs 5,000 million (mn) and provides grid scale energy storage capacity designed for flexible deployment. The commissioning ceremony involved cross functional teams from engineering and project management.

The facility provides modular storage for applications such as grid balancing, peak management and integration of variable renewable generation. It is configured for rapid deployment and modular scaling to meet different demand profiles. The configuration supports parallel operation and can be integrated with existing power management systems. The installation forms part of an investment push by the firm to broaden its energy storage footprint in the Asia Pacific region.

Local teams managed site preparation, installation and commissioning, with testing and validation completed before commercial handover. The unit employs standardised containers and balance of system equipment to simplify integration with existing infrastructure. Routine monitoring and remote diagnostics enable prompt response to operational issues. Operations and maintenance protocols have been established to ensure availability and safety.

At a reported value of Rs 5,000 million (mn), the project underlines continued private sector investment in utility scale battery assets. The capacity expansion contributes to a diversified resource mix and supports industrial and commercial customers alongside utility services. Company statements noted the move aligns with longer term strategies to support decarbonisation and energy security objectives.

The commissioning in Telangana follows a broader market trend towards increased storage deployment across regional grids and energy hubs. Stakeholders cited the importance of modular, deployable solutions for meeting peak demand and enabling higher shares of renewable electricity. Commercial availability is offered under flexible contracting models to suit varied customer needs. The firm indicated the new asset will be available for customer projects and grid services as part of its commercial offerings.
