Powertrac, an energy company with more than 16 years of experience across solar PV module manufacturing, turnkey EPC and distributed renewable-energy IPP projects, has announced its strategic expansion into the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) sector with a proposed 10 GWh advanced BESS manufacturing facility in Gujarat.

As part of the expansion, Powertrac has signed and released an order agreement with SUNKA LEAD, a China-based provider of battery-manufacturing equipment and intelligent automation solutions, for the development of the proposed BESS manufacturing production line.

This facility is being designed around a highly automated and AI-enabled manufacturing architecture, incorporating automated BESS container fabrication, AGV-based intelligent material movement, robotic assembly and handling, automated inspection and testing, quality-control systems, and integrated BESS assembly, testing and commissioning capabilities.

The BESS initiative marks a strategic expansion of Powertrac’s business from solar energy into energy storage, while leveraging its existing capabilities in EPC, renewable-energy project development and IPP operations. We also plans to address opportunities across utility-scale energy storage, commercial and industrial (C&I) energy solutions, grid stabilisation, ancillary applications and operations & maintenance services.

Powertrac currently has 480 MW of distributed renewable-energy IPP projects under signed PPAs, including projects under PM-KUSUM-C and the Gujarat DISCOM DREBP Scheme has set a target of achieving 1 GW of operational IPP capacity by 2030.

The Ordered production line is to incorporate advanced intelligent-manufacturing technologies, including AGVs, robotic material handling and assembly, automated inspection, testing and quality-control systems.

The facility is being positioned to serve emerging requirements from C&I customers, renewable-energy developers, utility-scale storage projects, grid infrastructure and broader energy-transition applications.

Powertrac’s strategic direction is to build an integrated renewable-energy and storage platform to grow

Solar EPC company Roofsol Energy has secured a repeat order from Metro Decorative Pvt. Ltd., the company behind the CROSSBOND brand, for the development of solar projects with a combined capacity of 4.48 MWp.

The projects will be installed at facilities in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, and Kala Amb, Himachal Pradesh, as Metro Decorative expands its adoption of renewable energy across its operations. The latest order follows the successful completion of a 3.2 MWp solar project for the company, with the EPC contract for the earlier project signed in February 2026.

The repeat order highlights the growing partnership between the two companies and reflects customer confidence in Roofsol Energy’s solar EPC capabilities. The projects are expected to help Metro Decorative increase its use of clean electricity while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.

The latest development comes as Roofsol Energy continues to expand its presence in India’s commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy market. In August 2026, the company signed a PPA for a 5 MWp solar-plus-4 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project for Associated Capsules Group in Maharashtra, marking its entry into the C&I energy storage segment.

Earlier, in July 2026, Roofsol signed a 10.44 MWp rooftop solar PPA with Shyam Steel Industries for its facility in Durgapur, West Bengal, along with a 17 MWp rooftop solar PPA with Foxconn for an OPEX-based project at its Bengaluru facility.

For FY2027, Roofsol Energy has set a target of investing in 200 MWp of rooftop solar assets through PPAs. The company has stated that more than 50 MWp of this target has already been signed and is under execution.

In June 2026, Roofsol Energy also secured ₹260 crore in funding from Aseem Infrastructure Finance to develop solar independent power producer (IPP) projects, including installations for JK Tyre and Industries and an additional 100 MWp of C&I solar capacity across India.

The repeat order from Metro Decorative further strengthens Roofsol Energy’s portfolio in the C&I segment and underlines the increasing adoption of rooftop and distributed solar solutions by industrial customers seeking to reduce conventional energy consumption and advance their sustainability goals.

SPML Infra Limited has achieved a significant milestone in its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technology journey, with its proprietary 104.4 kWh battery pack successfully completing key international safety, performance and transportation certification and testing requirements.

Developed under SPML Infra’s own intellectual property, the battery pack has successfully completed requirements under UL9540A, IEC 62619, IEC 63056, IEC 60730, IEC 61000-6-2 and IEC 61000-6-4, along with UN38.3 testing at both the battery-pack and system levels. These standards cover critical aspects including thermal runaway safety, battery performance, functional safety, electromagnetic compatibility and transportation safety.

The certification milestone is expected to support SPML Infra’s move towards the commercial deployment of its BESS technology. The company is developing indigenous energy storage and manufacturing capabilities to address the growing requirements of India’s utility-scale energy storage market.

SPML Infra is establishing BESS manufacturing and integration capabilities in Pune, Maharashtra, covering battery-pack assembly, engineering, system integration and large-scale project execution. The company aims to progressively strengthen its in-house technology and manufacturing capabilities for battery energy storage products.

Commenting on the development, Abhinandan Sethi, Managing Director, SPML Infra Limited, said the validation of the proprietary 104.4 kWh battery pack represents an important milestone in the company’s energy storage journey. He highlighted that SPML is developing technology and engineering capabilities internally rather than limiting its role to manufacturing or project execution.

The company views BESS as a strategic extension of its established power infrastructure capabilities and an important pillar of its future growth. With the completion of the certification and testing requirements, SPML Infra is moving another step closer to commercialising its BESS technology and expanding its energy storage portfolio for India’s evolving power infrastructure.
