Mumbai, September 16, 2026.
GEON, the future technologies division of Kabra Extrusion technik Ltd, has commissioned its 10 MW/20 MWh Battery
Energy Storage System (BESS) Project at Phalodi, Rajasthan. The project was
commissioned, marking another step towards strengthening energy storage
infrastructure and enabling more efficient integration of renewable energy into
the electricity grid.
The BESS project has been designed, executed, tested and commissioned
in line with the applicable technical specifications, performance requirements
and project obligations. The project encompasses the BESS container, Power
Conversion System (PCS), Energy Management System (EMS), Factory Acceptance
Testing (FAT), pre-commissioning, commissioning and Site Acceptance Testing
(SAT).
With a 10 MW power capacity and 20 MWh energy storage capacity,
the system is designed to support efficient energy management, improve grid
stability and facilitate the effective integration of renewable energy into the
power network. The project is being implemented under the requirements of Rajasthan
Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (RVPNL).
The project also aligns with Rajasthan's evolving policy framework for
renewable energy and green energy access.

The environmental impact of battery energy storage becomes
particularly significant when the system is charged using renewable energy. As
per NITI Frontier Tech Hub, a BESS system of this scale can contribute to
approximately 1,00,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ savings over a 10–15 year
operational lifecycle when charged with renewable energy. This highlights
the potential of energy storage to support India's broader transition towards a
cleaner and more flexible power ecosystem.
Commenting on the commissioning, Anand Kabra, Chairman and Managing
Director, GEON said, “The successful commissioning of our 10 MW/20 MWh
BESS project at Phalodi is an important milestone in our journey towards
building a more resilient and renewable-ready power ecosystem. Energy storage
will play a critical role in balancing renewable generation with demand,
improving grid stability and enabling greater utilisation of clean energy. We
are pleased to contribute to Rajasthan's growing renewable energy landscape
through projects that combine reliable technology with long-term
sustainability.”
The commissioning further highlights the growing importance of BESS
infrastructure in India's renewable energy transition, particularly as the
country continues to expand solar and wind generation and requires reliable
solutions for managing intermittency, peak demand and grid flexibility.
