Enrich Energy has achieved a significant milestone by entering the large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) segment with a major project win from NTPC Limited. The company has secured a 290 MWh BESS project, marking its first large order in this space. The project was awarded through a competitive bidding process conducted in September 2025 and will be implemented at NTPC’s Simhadri Thermal Power Station in Andhra Pradesh.
The scope of the project includes the complete installation and integration of the BESS with the existing thermal power infrastructure. Enrich will deploy advanced systems such as battery units, Battery Management System (BMS), Energy Management System (EMS), SCADA, Power Conversion Systems (PCS), and inverter-duty transformers. The project also involves setting up 33 kV pooling switchgear, protection and communication systems, auxiliary components, and fire safety measures. In addition, remote monitoring and control infrastructure will be established, along with long-term operations and maintenance services.
Commenting on the achievement, Ishwar Mangal, Board Member and Executive Chairman of Enrich Energy, stated that winning this project represents a key milestone for the company. He highlighted that the order reflects Enrich’s growing capabilities and its commitment to supporting India’s transition toward cleaner and more reliable energy systems. He also emphasized the increasing importance of energy storage as renewable energy adoption rises across the country.
With this project, Enrich is expanding its focus beyond conventional solar energy into integrated energy transition solutions. The company is actively exploring opportunities in standalone BESS, solar-plus-storage hybrid systems, and behind-the-meter applications. It has also strengthened its EPC and O&M capabilities and built strategic partnerships across the supply chain to support its growth in the evolving energy storage market.
