Waaree Group Secures 10 MWh Battery Storage Project in Tamil Nadu

02 Dec 2025 CW Team

Waaree Group has won a new battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Tamil Nadu, strengthening its presence in the fast-growing energy storage segment. The company said the order has been placed by a leading infrastructure development firm and involves supplying and deploying a 10 MWh BESS solution in the state.

The project marks an important step in meeting the rising demand for flexible and dispatchable power as renewable energy capacity expands across India. Battery storage systems are increasingly being integrated into solar and wind projects to stabilise supply, smoothen intermittency and enhance overall grid reliability.

Commenting on the development, Ankit Doshi, President–Strategy, said the company is intensifying its focus on storage technology to support the country’s clean energy trajectory. “Storage is the next frontier for renewable power, and we are investing deeply in technology, design, and manufacturing to meet the nation’s growing demand for flexible, dispatchable energy,” he said.

The company noted that the new order reinforces its commitment to developing advanced storage solutions tailored to India’s grid conditions and energy requirements. As states like Tamil Nadu continue to expand their renewable portfolios, battery storage is emerging as a critical component in ensuring stable power supply, especially as the share of variable renewable energy increases.

Waaree Group’s entry into utility-scale energy storage projects also reflects a broader shift in the industry, with developers and infrastructure companies adopting integrated clean energy and storage systems to improve project viability and long-term performance. The company added that it will continue to invest in storage technologies to support India’s transition toward a low-carbon, high-renewable grid.

Dhalbhumgarh Airport Faces 150-km Rule Hurdle

The issue has resurfaced following a recent statement by Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, who said that under existing aviation policy, a new greenfield airport is generally not permitted within an aerial distance of 150 kilometres of an operational civilian airport. He added, however, that if a formal proposal is submitted, its impact on the existing airport can be examined and relaxations may be considered on a case-by-case basis. While the clarification has revived some hope for Dhalbhumgarh, it has also underlined the scale of the technical challenge facing the project. Unde..

Stakeholders Seek Parallel Ops For Vizag Airports

With road and metro rail links to Bhogapuram still several years away, stakeholders in north Andhra Pradesh have renewed demands to continue civil operations at INS Dega even after the commissioning of Bhogapuram International Airport. The new airport is expected to begin commercial operations from June. Officials said close to 80 per cent of the airport infrastructure at Bhogapuram, including the terminal building and internal approach roads, has already been completed. However, inadequate external connectivity remains a key concern. Making a case for parallel operations, Andhra Pradesh Air ..

Govt To Roll Out V2V Tech To Cut Road Crashes

In an effort to curb road accidents, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as dense fog, the government is set to roll out vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology that will allow cars to exchange real-time data and alert drivers to potential dangers. The announcement was made by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari after the 43rd meeting of the Transport Development Council. The technology involves installing an on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles, enabling wireless data exchange between nearby cars. This will allow vehicles to share information such as spee..
