IN Brief:
- Neuron Energy plans to build a fully automated BESS manufacturing plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra.
- The facility is designed for 5 GWh of annual capacity and up to 1,000 containerised systems a year.
- The company is targeting utilities, solar developers, and C&I customers, with exports expected to form part of the business mix.
Neuron Energy is moving into grid-scale storage manufacturing with plans for a fully automated battery energy storage system plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra. The project is designed around containerised systems for solar and grid applications and marks a step beyond the company’s established work in electric vehicle batteries.
The site will cover seven acres and is being developed with an investment of INR 1 billion. Once fully operational, it is designed for 5 GWh of annual manufacturing capacity and the ability to produce as many as 1,000 containerised BESS units a year. The systems are intended to store surplus power during high renewable output and discharge during demand peaks, giving the facility a direct link into India’s fast-expanding solar and storage build-out.
Neuron has also outlined a route-to-market that spans solar developers, utilities, and commercial and industrial customers, with a target sales mix of 60% domestic and 40% export. That gives the project a broader role than import substitution alone, especially at a point when Indian storage manufacturing is moving from cell and pack supply into containerised system assembly and grid-facing solutions.
The company expects the facility to create more than 500 direct and indirect jobs across engineering, manufacturing, system integration, installation, and technical services. In that sense, the project sits both in the storage deployment story and in the parallel industrial story about where the equipment for that deployment is now expected to come from.
