AmpereHour Energy inaugurated a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manufacturing and integration facility in Chakan, Pune. The facility will support the production of Make in India cabinet and containerised battery DC-AC blocks for utility-scale and commercial energy storage applications. The company designed the facility to strengthen local manufacturing capabilities while supporting India’s rapidly expanding energy storage market.
Advanced Manufacturing for Utility-Scale BESS
The Chakan facility combines AmpereHour’s hardware-agnostic architecture, proprietary Energy Management Systems (EMS), and advanced safety engineering. In addition, the plant uses the company’s AH-Suite digital platform for quality management, product testing, and system validation. AmpereHour stated that its decision to enter manufacturing was driven by customer requirements and operational insights gained from executing complex BESS projects. As a result, the facility places strong emphasis on system performance, operational safety, reliability, lifecycle management and digital validation.
Supporting Intelligent and Resilient Energy Storage
Rahul Shelke, Co-founder and Managing Director of AmpereHour Energy, said energy storage is becoming a critical component of the future power grid. “Energy storage is becoming the backbone of the future grid, and India has an opportunity to lead not just in scale but through technology-led innovation. Our expansion into advanced BESS manufacturing is built on years of experience as system integrators — understanding what makes storage assets safer, smarter and more reliable in real operating environments,” Shelke said. He added that the company’s Make in India DC Block platform and digital infrastructure are designed to create long-term energy resilience rather than simply manufacture products.
5 GWh Planned Capacity for Domestic and Global Markets
The facility marks AmpereHour’s transition from a BESS technology integrator to an advanced manufacturing platform for intelligent energy storage systems. With a planned manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh, the company aims to serve both Indian and international markets. The systems, powered by the company’s ELINA Energy Management System, are expected to enhance Renewable energy integration, Peak demand management Grid flexibility and long-term asset performance.
Digital Validation Integrated into Production
Ayush Misra, Co-founder and CEO of AmpereHour Energy, described manufacturing as a natural extension of the company’s system integration expertise. “For us, manufacturing was a natural progression of our journey as a BESS technology integrator. Energy storage is not just about assembling batteries; it is about engineering intelligent assets that deliver reliable performance throughout their lifecycle. AH-Suite brings our field learnings into manufacturing by ensuring every system is digitally validated before it reaches site.” As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, by embedding digital validation into the production process, AmpereHour aims to improve quality assurance and reduce operational risks for large-scale energy storage deployments.
