ACME Solar Commissions Additional BESS Capacity in Rajasthan

15 May 2026 CW Team

ACME Solar Holdings Limited (ACME Solar) has commissioned an additional 35.715 MW / 160.512 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Village Jaimalsar in District Bikaner, Rajasthan, strengthening its energy storage footprint. The capacity was added through its wholly owned subsidiary ACME Surya Power Private Limited and was commissioned on 11 May 2026 with a commercial operation date set for 13 May 2026. The company reported the update under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.\n\nWith the new addition the firm’s cumulative commissioned BESS capacity now stands at 210.938 MW / 947.899 MWh, enhancing its ability to provide grid services. The expanded storage portfolio is intended to support grid stability, facilitate efficient integration of renewable generation and assist with peak load management. The deployment is presented as part of a broader strategy to bolster energy security and system resilience.\n\nBattery Energy Storage Systems play a central role in managing intermittency associated with solar and other variable generation, and the company views large scale BESS as essential to India’s transition to a cleaner power system. The Rajasthan project demonstrates the operational scaling of storage assets at regional level and is expected to enable more predictable power flows from renewable projects. The subsidiary will operate the facility to deliver ancillary services and time shifting of solar output.\n\nIndustry observers note that continued investment in storage capacity will be necessary to meet rising renewable penetration and maintain grid reliability, and ACME Solar’s commissioning is part of that trend. The firm is positioning itself to capitalise on growing demand for integrated solar and storage solutions across the country. Further capacity additions were signalled in company communications as it seeks to expand its storage portfolio.

Beyond Backup Power

For decades, diesel gensets occupied a largely functional role in buildings: a mandatory backup system specified to meet statutory requirements and activated only during grid outages. Today, however, this perception is undergoing a profound shift. Across residential, commercial and mission-critical developments, developers, consultants and operators are increasingly viewing gensets as integral to a broader energy resilience strategy. Rising occupant expectations, growing dependence on digital systems and the proliferation of smart technologies mean that uninterrupted power has become essential..

Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link is designed to ensure reliable all-weather, high-speed transport.

Infrastructure connectivity will be one of the keys to achieve Viksit Bharat. And the Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link has been developed as a long-term infrastructure solution for Western India. Dr Anilkumar Gaikwad, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), a speaker at the RAHSTA Expo 2026, elaborates upon the project and its significance.The Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link has largely been discussed as a travel-time reduction project. From MSRDC’s perspective, what larger infrastructure and mobility problem was this project actually designed to..

Noida International Airport

Noida International Airport (NIA) is not just another capacity addition to India’s aviation map. It is a test case in whether India can build airport infrastructure that is scalable from Day 1, operationally efficient at launch, and resilient enough to grow without the familiar pain points of brownfield expansion.Its significance lies not merely in the first phase but in the way the airport has been planned for its fourth. Scheduled to begin commercial operations on 15 June 2026, NIA’s first phase comprises one runway and one passenger terminal designed to handle 12 million passengers annu..
