Vikram Solar's Unit to Set Up 7.5 GWh Battery Storage Assembly Plant in Tamil Nadu

Vikram Solar’s newly created subsidiary disclosed that it will build a battery‑energy‑storage system (BESS) assembly plant in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The facility is slated to have a production capacity of 7.5 gigawatt‑hours, positioning it among the larger storage‑module manufacturers in the country.

The project is expected to bolster India’s renewable‑energy ecosystem by supplying domestically produced storage modules for solar and wind farms. Industry analysts note that local manufacturing could reduce dependence on imports and lower overall system costs, while also generating skilled employment opportunities in the region.

Details on the plant’s commissioning timeline were not disclosed, but the company indicated that construction will commence later this year, aligning with the government’s push for greater energy‑storage capacity to meet its 2030 clean‑energy targets.
