Pratap Technocrats Wins ₹776 Crore NTPC Deal For 570 MWh BESS Project

Pratap Technocrats, an infrastructure company based in Gurugram, has entered the green energy sector after winning a major contract worth ₹776.13 crore from NTPC Limited. The project involves setting up a large 570 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system across two important power plants in India. This marks a significant shift for the company, which has mainly worked in telecom network infrastructure until now.

As part of the agreement, the company will install 320 MWh of battery storage at the Gadarwara power plant and 250 MWh at the Khargone power plant. These battery systems will store excess electricity and supply it during periods of high demand. This helps maintain a stable power supply and reduces the risk of outages. With the growing use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which depend on weather conditions, such storage systems are becoming increasingly important for grid stability.

The chairman of Pratap Technocrats, Devendra Singh Shekhawat, described the contract as a major milestone for the company. He said the project reflects the trust placed in the company’s ability to handle complex infrastructure work. He also highlighted that the initiative supports India’s goal of building a more sustainable and reliable energy system. By improving the efficiency of power plants, the project is expected to strengthen the country’s long-term energy security.

This development comes shortly after the company secured three middle-mile network packages under the BharatNet Phase 3 program in Haryana, Rajasthan, and Assam. These achievements show that Pratap Technocrats is actively expanding its business beyond telecom into new sectors like energy infrastructure.

The 570 MWh battery storage project is expected to play an important role in modernizing India’s power sector. As the country works towards increasing renewable energy capacity and achieving its net-zero targets, such projects are becoming essential. Collaborations between public sector companies and private firms are likely to drive this transition further. The successful completion of this project could also open doors for similar large-scale energy storage initiatives in the future.
