Voltide Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and JEM Energy have launched a Made-in-India Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)-as-a-Service model aimed at accelerating the transition away from diesel-based backup power across commercial and hospitality sectors in India.
The first deployment under the new model has been commissioned at Uru Brewpark in JP Nagar, Bengaluru, making it among the early premium hospitality venues in the country to replace conventional diesel generator backup systems with battery energy storage.
Spread across 1.5 acres, the hospitality venue transitioned to a battery-based backup system through an OPEX-led model designed to eliminate the need for significant upfront capital investment. According to the companies, the system delivered more than 2.5 MWh of clean backup energy during its first month of operation while successfully functioning through peak summer conditions, hailstorms, and grid disturbances.
The deployment is also estimated to have reduced nearly 1,000 litres of diesel consumption during the initial operating period.
The partnership combines JEM Energy’s domestically manufactured battery storage technology with Voltide Solutions Pvt. Ltd.’s Battery-as-a-Service delivery platform, enabling businesses to adopt clean backup power solutions without owning or maintaining the infrastructure.
According to the companies, the BESS-as-a-Service platform is designed for deployment across multiple sectors, including hospitality, healthcare, commercial real estate, warehousing, manufacturing, and EV charging infrastructure.
Commenting on the deployment, Kuncheria Marattukalam, Co-founder of Uru Brewpark, said replacing diesel generators with silent battery-based backup systems has improved both customer experience and operational efficiency at the venue.
Uday Disley, Director at Voltide Solutions Pvt. Ltd., stated that the service-based commercial model removes major financial barriers associated with battery storage adoption by eliminating heavy upfront investments.
Kartik Hajela, CEO of JEM Energy, added that the partnership demonstrates the growing commercial viability of battery energy storage systems for Indian businesses. He noted that financing structures have historically slowed adoption, despite technological readiness.
The companies estimate annual savings from the deployment could reach up to ₹6.25 lakh while also supporting emissions reduction and cleaner energy adoption in the commercial sector.
