VSL PowerHive, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vikram Solar, has announced plans to establish a 7.5 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) assembly plant in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu. The facility is scheduled for inauguration in January 2027, with commercial operations expected to commence in April 2027. The facility’s capacity is planned to expand to 15 GWh in phases.
Furthermore, the facility will manufacture lithium-iron-phosphate-based storage systems for utility-scale and commercial and industrial applications. Its product portfolio will include liquid-cooled BESS containers with capacities of 5.016 MWh and 6.25 MWh, along with battery cabinets and renewable energy-integrated storage solutions. The company’s target of achieving 30 GWh of total battery manufacturing capacity by 2030.
