BESS in the Context of India's Wind and Renewables Pipeline
The commissioning sits within a broader national push to pair storage with variable renewable generation. Projects India tracks 340 live projects in the Wind Based Power sub-sector across India, with two added to its records in the last 90 days. Of those 340 projects, 55 are currently in active construction and a further 122 are under approvals, indicating a substantial volume of work still moving through the development pipeline.
Rajasthan already hosts significant hybrid renewable activity. A wind-solar hybrid power unit project promoted by AMPIN Energy Utility Private Limited, valued at Rs 944 crore, is currently in construction in the state, reflecting continued investor appetite for large-scale generation and storage in the region.
For a broader view of activity across the sector, the Power Projects sector overview provides context on where capital is being deployed nationally.
Geographic Spread of Tracked Wind and Storage Projects
Gujarat leads all states in Projects India's Wind Based Power tracking with 124 projects, followed by Maharashtra at 58, Andhra Pradesh at 42, Karnataka at 36, Tamil Nadu at 26 and Madhya Pradesh at 22. Rajasthan, while not appearing in the top six by project count in this sub-sector, continues to attract investment in both generation and storage given its renewable resource base.
The stage breakdown underlines where suppliers and contractors should be directing business development attention: 122 projects are under approvals nationally, meaning procurement decisions for those schemes are still ahead. A further 55 are in planning and 5 are at early or announced stage, adding to the forward opportunity set. Only 84 projects have reached completion.
Detailed records for all Wind Based Power schemes can be found on the Wind Based Power projects in India page.
Recent Construction-Stage Projects Across the Sub-Sector
Several large schemes have recently entered or are currently in active construction. These include a Rs 1,800 crore wind-based power unit in Koppal, Karnataka promoted by Serentica Renewables India Private Limited; a Rs 468 crore wind-based power unit in Bharuch, Gujarat promoted by KPI Green Energy Limited; and a wind power project in Sangli, Maharashtra promoted by Sunsure Energy. A Rs 800 crore BESS project at Khavda RE Power Park in Kutch, Gujarat, promoted by Gensol Engineering, is also in construction — illustrating that standalone storage projects of significant scale are advancing alongside generation assets.
Additional developments in Maharashtra include projects tracked on the Projects India platform, including a Rs 228 crore wind power project won by an Enviro Infra subsidiary and a 72.6 MW wind project for which APTEL extended the commissioning deadline.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The commissioning of ACME Solar's Rajasthan BESS signals continued movement at the execution end of India's storage pipeline. For suppliers of battery modules, power conversion systems, civil works and grid interconnection equipment, this project demonstrates that BESS schemes in Rajasthan are reaching financial and technical closure.
The pipeline data points to where near-term opportunities are concentrated. With 122 Wind Based Power projects nationally sitting under approvals and 55 in active construction, procurement windows across turbine supply, civil and erection contracting, and balance-of-plant scopes are open across multiple states. Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh account for the largest share of tracked projects and represent the most active geographies for supplier engagement.
Contractors evaluating where to build regional capacity or tender readiness should note that planning-stage projects — currently 55 in number — represent the next wave likely to enter procurement over the coming months. Monitoring approvals-stage projects in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh will be equally important given the concentration of projects at that stage.
