Feston SEV, a Chennai-based solar inverter and energy technology company, is entering battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing with plans to set up a BESS facility with an annual production capacity of 3 GW. Its upcoming facility will produce 5 kWh to 5 MWh solutions, catering to residential and commercial segments.

EV battery manufacturer Neuron Energy has announced its entry into the grid-scale energy storage segment with plans to commission a fully automated battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility in Talegaon, Maharashtra. Once fully operational, the facility will have an annual production capacity of 5 GWh, with the capability to manufacture up to 1,000 containerised BESS units per year.

A Japanese joint-pilot will test grid-scale BESS with a range of local and remote attack vectors, with cybersecurity monitoring to watch for indications of anomalies.

TDK Corp., a Japanese multinational electronics company, has proposed an investment of INR 4,000 crore in Haryana to set up a battery energy storage unit. A delegation from the company met Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini to discuss the proposed investment.

AI is transforming battery energy storage systems (BESS) through predictive load management, smart dispatch, and real-time performance optimisation – critical to India’s renewable energy ambitions.

Saatvik Green Energy has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Saatvik Power Storage Solutions. The newly formed entity will focus on the development and deployment of battery energy storage systems for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, residential and distributed renewable energy applications.

PowerHive, the battery and energy storage arm of Vikram Solar, has launched its VION lithium battery product range, marking the company’s entry into distributed battery storage for electric mobility and residential energy backup.

NavPrakriti, a Kolkata-headquartered lithium-ion battery recycler, has entered into a strategic partnership with NASH Energy, a NASH Group company focused on advanced battery manufacturing and energy storage solutions, to ensure responsible end-of-life management of all batteries produced by NASH Energy, including production scrap.

The “Battery Atlas 2026” report shows consolidation in Europe’s battery market. More than 2,000 GWh of cell production capacity was announced in 2023, but the realistic forecast for early 2026 is around 1,190 GWh, including approximately 673 GWh led by Asian companies.

The next clean-energy boom will be driven not only by renewable generation but by intelligent storage. Tech-enabled, solar-compatible battery energy storage systems (BESS) will make clean energy predictable, resilient, and commercially viable at scale.
