AmpereHour Energy has inaugurated a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manufacturing and integration facility at Chakan in Pune, marking its expansion from a system integrator into battery energy storage manufacturing. The facility will manufacture and integrate containerised and cabinet-based battery DC-AC blocks for utility-scale and commercial and industrial applications. Designed with a planned manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh, the plant incorporates the company's proprietary ELINA Energy Management System (EMS) and AH-Suite digital quality management platform to support testing, performance validation and product traceability. The investment forms part of the company's localisation strategy under the Make in India initiative and is intended to strengthen domestic battery energy storage manufacturing capabilities as demand for grid-scale storage and renewable energy integration continues to grow across India.
AmpereHour Energy has inaugurated a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manufacturing and integration facility at Chakan, Pune, as the company expands its operations from system integration into domestic manufacturing of energy storage solutions.
The facility will focus on the integration of Make in India cabinet-based and containerised Battery DC-AC blocks designed for utility-scale projects as well as commercial and industrial applications. According to the company, the plant has a planned manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh.
The new manufacturing platform combines hardware-agnostic system architecture with the company's proprietary ELINA Energy Management System (EMS), subsystem engineering capabilities and safety-focused design. The facility also incorporates AH-Suite, AmpereHour's digital factory quality management and product testing platform, which is intended to provide product traceability, performance validation and digital testing before systems are deployed.
The company said its decision to establish a manufacturing facility follows experience gained from deploying battery energy storage projects, with system design informed by operational requirements relating to safety, reliability, lifecycle management and performance.
Commenting on the inauguration, Rahul Shelke, Co-founder and Managing Director of AmpereHour Energy, said energy storage is becoming an increasingly important component of electricity infrastructure. He stated that the company's expansion into manufacturing builds on its experience as a battery energy storage system integrator and is intended to strengthen the development of digitally validated storage systems manufactured in India.
Ayush Misra, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of AmpereHour Energy, said the move into manufacturing represents a natural progression for the company following its experience in integrating battery storage projects. He added that the AH-Suite platform incorporates operational learnings into the manufacturing process by digitally validating systems before they are delivered to project sites.
According to the company, the ELINA Energy Management System has been deployed across its battery storage installations to support renewable energy integration, peak demand management, grid flexibility and long-term operational performance.
The company said the new facility is intended to strengthen engineering capabilities, increase localisation of battery energy storage integration and support the development of India's domestic energy storage ecosystem. The manufacturing platform has also been designed to serve both domestic and international markets.
Battery energy storage systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting renewable energy deployment, grid stability and electricity demand management as India's clean energy capacity expands. The establishment of additional domestic manufacturing facilities is aligned with broader efforts to localise components and reduce dependence on imported energy storage systems under the Make in India programme.
The Chakan facility represents AmpereHour Energy's latest investment in expanding its manufacturing footprint while integrating digital quality management and engineering systems into battery energy storage production.
