AmpereHour, IndiGrid Commission Gujarat BESS Project

19 May 2026 CW Team

AmpereHour Energy and IndiGrid have commissioned a 180 MW/360 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation substation in Gujarat. Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) is the off-taker for the project, which is among India’s largest standalone utility-scale battery storage installations and one of Asia’s major BESS capacities.

The project strengthens Gujarat’s renewable energy ecosystem, where around 870 MW of battery storage capacity projects have been launched. The facility will store excess renewable energy during off-peak hours and discharge it during high-demand periods, helping reduce curtailment and improve grid resilience.

AmpereHour scaled its learnings from its 40 MWh Delhi project to deliver the 360 MWh system. Its teams carried out simulation studies across the electrical chain, from the 220 kV grid connection to DC systems, to ensure round-trip efficiency and usable energy. The project used AmpereHour’s ELINA EMS and AH Suite platform for execution across multiple contractors.

IndiGrid said the project sets a new benchmark for utility-scale storage infrastructure in India and supports the country’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

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..
