Pace Digitek doubles BESS manufacturing capacity to 5 GWh with new production line

Pace Digitek Ltd today announced that its subsidiary, Lineage Power, has commissioned an additional 2.5 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing line, taking the Group’s installed BESS manufacturing capacity from 2.5 GWh to 5 GWh.

The company said the expanded manufacturing capacity enhances its ability to execute its growing BESS order book, project pipeline and product supplies while improving manufacturing flexibility, production planning and delivery capabilities across utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.

Over the past year, Pace Digitek has manufactured over 300 utility-scale BESS containers, representing 1.5 GWh of battery energy storage capacity. The expansion to 5 GWh strengthens the company’s ability to support its growing BESS business in line with customer requirements and market opportunities.

India’s battery energy storage market continues to expand, supported by increasing renewable energy deployment, grid balancing requirements and growing adoption across utility-scale and C&I applications. As deployments scale, manufacturing capacity, execution capabilities and supply chain integration are becoming increasingly important.

“The commissioning of our additional 2.5 GWh manufacturing line builds on the progress we have made over the past year in building an integrated BESS business. During this period, we have strengthened our manufacturing capabilities, advanced localisation and enhanced execution across the value chain,” said Venugopal Rao Maddisetty, chairman & managing director, Pace Digitek Ltd. “With our installed manufacturing capacity now at 5 GWh, we can support our growing order book, project pipeline and product supplies while improving operational and cost efficiencies.”
