Serentica Renewables, the renewable energy arm of the Vedanta Group and a leading renewable energy provider in India, today announced the commissioning of Phase 1 of its 1 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Bikaner. The milestone marks the entry into utility scale energy storage for the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector and represents a significant step towards delivering reliable, dispatchable renewable energy to India’s energy intensive industries.

The first phase comprises a 200 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that stores surplus renewable energy generated during the day and discharges it during peak demand hours, enabling the supply of clean power during nighttime. The project has been developed with a modular architecture that offers operational flexibility, scalability and rapid response capabilities, while strengthening grid stability and supporting higher integration of renewable energy.

The Bikaner project powers one of the world’s first time block Round the Clock (RTC) renewable power arrangements for industrial consumers, demonstrating how battery storage can transform intermittent renewable energy into dependable, 24×7 clean power. The commissioning marks an important milestone in Serentica’s vision of delivering firm, dispatchable renewable energy solutions that enable industries to decarbonize without compromising operational reliability.

Mr. Akshay Hiranandani, CEO, Serentica Renewables, said, “Battery Energy Storage Systems will play a defining role in the next phase of India’s clean energy transition by making renewable energy available whenever it is needed. The commissioning of Phase 1 of our 1 GWh BESS is a significant milestone in our journey to deliver reliable, round the clock renewable energy for India’s industrial sector. By integrating advanced storage with renewable generation, we are creating a future ready energy ecosystem that combines sustainability, reliability and flexibility for our customers.”

The commissioning of the Bikaner BESS marks the first step in Serentica’s broader energy storage strategy. With a planned 7 GWh battery order pipeline over the next two years, the company is building one of India’s largest battery storage portfolios for the C&I segment, reinforcing its commitment to delivering reliable, sustainable and round-the-clock clean energy solutions at scale.

Headsup B2B Private Limited (“Headsup B2B”), a B2B procurement and supply chain platform focused on the infrastructure and green energy sectors, has partnered with INA Solar, the solar module brand of Jaipur-based Insolation Energy Limited, marking a significant step in its expansion into the fast-growing solar sector. Under the partnership, Headsup B2B will market and distribute INA Solar’s portfolio of solar modules to EPC companies, channel partners, project developers and institutional customers. The partnership targets annual solar distribution supporting Headsup B2B’s broader objective to achieve ₹150 crore annual revenue from its solar business.

The partnership marks a significant step in Headsup B2B’s long-term strategy to build solar into a key growth vertical. The company is targeting ~40% of its overall revenue to come from its solar business by FY27, supported by a growing portfolio of products, an expanding regional distribution network and rising demand for renewable energy solutions across India.

As part of the partnership, Headsup B2B will strengthen its presence across eastern India through a regional distribution network anchored at its Patna facility. The network will improve product availability and enable faster access to solar modules for EPC companies, installers, channel partners and project developers, while supporting project-based procurement across the region.

India’s solar sector continues to witness strong momentum, driven by rising adoption across residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural segments, alongside government initiatives such as PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, PM-KUSUM and various state-led programmes. As deployment accelerates, particularly across emerging markets in eastern India, Headsup B2B aims to strengthen access to quality solar products while addressing the growing need for reliable procurement and efficient distribution.

The company also plans to expand its dealer and sub-distributor network across key districts, broadening its market reach and enhancing customer support capabilities as it scales its solar operations.

Commenting on the partnership, Sumit Kumar, Founder and Director, Headsup B2B, said, “Solar is emerging as one of our most important growth businesses and will play a meaningful role in the company’s future growth. Our partnership with INA Solar strengthens our ability to serve the evolving requirements of EPC companies, channel partners and project developers by combining a trusted product portfolio with a robust procurement and distribution network. As we continue to expand our renewable energy business, we aim to build solar into a significant contributor to our overall revenue.”

Apraava Energy, one of India’s leading integrated energy solutions providers, today announced that it has acquired the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), Ananthpuram Transmission Limited, for developing an interstate transmission project in Ananthapur, Andhra Pradesh. The project was awarded through the Government of India’s Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process. It involves the setting up of ~250 circuit kilometres (ckm) of 765 kV transmission lines, along with a 4,500 MVA (3×1500 MVA) 765 kV pooling station, including the installation of a ±300 MVAR Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM).

This project will strengthen the interstate transmission infrastructure in the state of Andhra Pradesh by facilitating the integration and evacuation of ~3 GW of renewable energy from Ananthapur region.

Commenting on the win, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Managing Director, Apraava Energy, said, “Apraava is pleased to expand its transmission footprint in Andhra Pradesh. The state’s strong development trajectory, progressive approach to clean energy, and immense renewable energy potential make it an important part of India’s energy transition. We are particularly excited to mark this as our first investment in Andhra Pradesh and look forward to exploring more opportunities to invest in the state. A strong and resilient transmission network is fundamental to unlocking this potential and strengthening India’s long-term energy security. At Apraava Energy, we are proud to partner in this national endeavour by developing high-quality transmission assets that strengthen the grid, enable renewable energy integration, and support India’s sustainable growth.”

Developed under the Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) model, the asset will provide transmission services for a concession period of 35 years following commissioning. The completion timeline is set at 36 months from the date of signing of the Transmission Service Agreement (TSA). It is also expected to generate significant direct and indirect employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases.

Apraava currently operates three transmission assets comprising ~1,000 ckm of transmission lines and 3,500 MVA of substation capacity. With the addition of Ananthpuram Transmission Limited, Apraava now has four greenfield transmission projects under construction, adding ~1,180 ckm of transmission lines and ~13,500 MVA of substation capacity.
