Infrastructure major SPML Infra Ltd has reached a major operational milestone in its clean-energy journey, announcing that its proprietary 104.4 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) battery pack has successfully cleared stringent international safety, performance, and transportation certification tests.
Developed entirely under the company’s own intellectual property, the milestone paves the way for the commercial deployment of SPML Infra’s advanced energy storage systems as India accelerates its renewable energy integration.
Rigorous Testing and Compliance
The newly certified 104.4 kWh battery pack underwent comprehensive evaluations covering critical operational benchmarks. According to the company, the tests successfully verified compliance across multiple global standards, including:
-
Thermal Runaway Safety: Ensuring the system can safely isolate and contain extreme temperature anomalies.
-
Battery Performance & Functional Safety: Validating long-term durability, efficiency, and fail-safe system controls under load.
-
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Confirming that the battery electronics operate reliably without electromagnetic interference.
-
Transportation Safety: Ensuring structural and chemical stability during transit.
Scaling Up: Manufacturing Operations in Pune
Capitalizing on this validation, SPML Infra is actively establishing state-of-the-art BESS manufacturing and integration operations in Pune, Maharashtra. This facility will serve as the hub for battery pack assembly, advanced engineering, full system integration, and large-scale project execution.
Managing Director Abhinandan Sethi highlighted the strategic importance of the milestone, noting that validation of the proprietary hardware brings the company closer to its goal of establishing an indigenous, fully integrated Indian energy storage platform.
Strategic Extension into the Energy Transition
As India rapidly scales up its solar and wind capacity, the demand for utility-scale energy storage systems (BESS) is projected to surge. Energy storage serves as a vital grid asset for:
-
Renewable Integration: Storing excess solar and wind generation for use during low-generation periods.
-
Grid Balancing & Peak-Load Management: Managing sudden spikes in electricity demand without relying heavily on peaker fossil-fuel plants.
-
Overall Grid Reliability: Stabilizing frequency and voltage fluctuations across power networks.
With its proprietary technology validated and manufacturing capabilities under development in Pune, SPML Infra is positioning itself to capture a significant share of India’s fast-growing utility-scale BESS market, marking a transformative evolution in its core power infrastructure portfolio.
