Jupiter Wagons has been awarded a 100 MW/400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in West Bengal, marking a significant expansion in the state's renewable energy infrastructure.
Jupiter Wagons, a leading manufacturer of battery storage solutions, announced that it has won a 100 MW/400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) contract in West Bengal. The project, awarded by the West Bengal Power Development Corporation, will support the state’s grid stability and facilitate greater integration of renewable energy sources.
The contract involves the installation of advanced lithium‑ion battery modules and associated control systems. Jupiter Wagons plans to complete site surveys next month and commence procurement of components shortly, with commissioning targeted for the end of 2025.
This win underscores Jupiter Wagons’ expanding presence in India’s battery storage market and aligns with the government’s push for clean energy. The company expects the project to generate local employment and foster collaboration with regional partners.
Industry analysts note that the BESS will help West Bengal meet its renewable energy targets and reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel peaking plants, enhancing overall grid resilience.
