ANDRITZ has received an order from Tata Power to supply pumped storage units for the upcoming 1,000 MW Bhivpuri pumped storage project (PSP) in the state of Maharashtra. The order, valued in the low three-digit million-euro range, will be booked in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026. Under the contract, ANDRITZ will supply three state-of-the-art reversible pump turbines, motor-generators, and associated electromechanical equipment. The scope includes design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of the complete units. Execution will leverage ANDRITZ’s advanced manufacturing capabilities in India, supported by its global engineering and project delivery network.
The Bhivpuri PSP will play a critical role in supporting Maharashtra’s accelerating renewable energy expansion while strengthening grid reliability. As renewable capacity from solar and wind continues to grow, large-scale energy storage solutions such as pumped storage are essential to ensure system flexibility and round-the-clock power availability. PSPs act as grid stabilizers, balancing supply and demand in real time and enabling higher integration of variable renewable energy. Once operational, the Bhivpuri project will significantly enhance grid stability and contribute to a reliable, clean energy supply across the region.
Ravindra G, Regional Executive and Managing Director & CEO, ANDRITZ Hydropower India, said: “Large-scale energy storage is fundamental to integrating increasing shares of renewable power. With our advanced pumped storage technology, ANDRITZ is proud to support the development of resilient, future-ready energy systems that drive long-term decarbonization while ensuring dependable electricity supply.”
The Bhivpuri project represents the first major pumped storage contract awarded by Tata Power to ANDRITZ, marking a significant milestone in the collaboration between the two companies. ANDRITZ is currently involved in the implementation of seven new PSPs in India with a combined installed capacity of over 11 GW, contributing significantly to the development of stable, low-carbon power infrastructure in one of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets.
