Mecpower Solutions has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Gujarat to establish a proposed 5 GWh Battery Energy Storage System assembly facility in Karjan. The project involves a planned investment of around Rs 160 crore.
The proposed facility aims to expand domestic battery energy storage manufacturing as demand for energy storage grows alongside renewable energy capacity in India. Battery storage systems help store electricity generated from renewable sources and improve the stability of the power grid.
The project is part of Mecpower’s expansion into energy storage manufacturing and is expected to cater to utility-scale, commercial, and industrial applications. The company is looking to strengthen its presence in the clean energy value chain as battery storage adoption increases.
The investment also aligns with Gujarat’s efforts to attract manufacturing projects in clean energy and advanced technologies. The state has emerged as a key destination for renewable energy and industrial investments due to its infrastructure and policy support.
If completed as planned, the Rs 160 crore facility is expected to add to India’s battery energy storage manufacturing capacity and support the integration of renewable energy into the country’s power network.
Commenting on the development, Setul Shah, Managing Director, Mecpower Solutions, said, “The signing of this MoU with the Government of Gujarat represents an important step in Mecpower’s journey towards becoming a future-ready energy infrastructure company. Our proposed investment in a 5 GWh Battery Energy Storage System assembly facility reflects our confidence in India’s clean energy growth story and our commitment to strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.”
He further added, “Energy storage will play an increasingly critical role in enabling renewable energy adoption, enhancing grid resilience, and supporting long-term energy security. We are pleased to partner with the Government of Gujarat in advancing these shared objectives.”
