ACME Solar Holdings Limited (ASHL) has announced a significant expansion of its battery energy storage capacity in Rajasthan, reinforcing its position in India’s renewable energy sector. On April 29, 2026, the company commissioned an additional 35.714 MW / 160.512 MWh capacity at its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project located in Jaimalsar village in the Bikaner district.
The project has been developed through ACME Surya Power Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASHL. While the physical commissioning of the new capacity was completed on April 29, the company has set May 1, 2026, as the official Commercial Operation Date (COD).
This development follows an earlier update shared by the company on April 13, 2026. With the addition of this new capacity, the total commissioned capacity of ACME Surya Power Private Limited has now reached 175.223 MW / 787.387 MWh. This expansion is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening grid stability by enabling efficient storage and supply of renewable energy, especially during non-solar hours.
Battery energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important in India’s clean energy transition, as they help address the intermittent nature of solar power. By storing excess energy generated during the day, these systems ensure a steady and reliable power supply even when solar generation is low.
The company’s official announcement was made by Rajesh Sodhi, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, and submitted to both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India in line with regulatory requirements.
This milestone reflects ACME Solar’s growing focus on integrating advanced battery storage with renewable energy generation. As India continues to pursue its climate and sustainability targets, such projects are expected to play a key role in enhancing energy reliability and supporting the country’s transition toward a cleaner power ecosystem.
