Replus Engitech, Indus Towers to collaborate on energy storage solutions for telecom infrastructure

Replus Engitech, an arm of HEG Advanced Materials Ltd (HEGAM) and an integrated energy storage and clean energy company, and Indus Towers Ltd, a telecom infrastructure company, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration on battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions for telecom infrastructure in India.

Under the MoU, Replus intends to make available 1.5 GWh of dedicated BESS production capacity over a two-year period to support the energy requirements of telecom infrastructure. It also plans to expand its portfolio of telecom energy storage solutions, including higher-capacity battery systems, while exploring emerging technologies such as sodium-ion batteries that can enhance reliability, energy efficiency and lifecycle performance across telecom applications.

 “This initiative reflects the opportunity we see in building a strong, made-in-India energy storage ecosystem for critical infrastructure,” said Riju Jhunjhunwala, chairman, managing director and CEO, HEG Advanced Materials Ltd. “Through Replus, we are building the manufacturing scale, technology capabilities and innovation platform required to address these evolving requirements and contribute meaningfully to India’s energy transition.”

Hiren Pravin Shah, managing director & CEO, Replus Engitech, said this initiative goes beyond supplying batteries. It is about building the manufacturing scale and technology capabilities required to address the evolving energy needs of telecom infrastructure.

Replus Engitech designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced chemistry cell (ACC)-based lithium-ion battery systems, while offering end-to-end capabilities across system integration, EPC, O&M, and lifecycle energy asset management. It has deployed over 1 GWh of energy storage capacity across BESS, electric mobility, telecom power solutions, and hybrid energy applications, serving customers across diverse sectors in India.
