Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has signed government orders (GOs) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to develop a 1200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Nandyal and a 50MW hybrid solar plant.
The agreement was signed during the Andhra Pradesh Partnership Summit 2025 held in Visakhapatnam. Both projects will be developed under the capital expenditure (CAPEX) mode, with SECI, the government agency established under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), undertaking complete investment responsibilities.
The agreement marks a key step in bolstering the state’s renewable infrastructure. The projects represent a major boost to India’s emerging storage ecosystem and support the transition to a more resilient, storage-enabled green grid.
India is slowly bolstering its BESS capacity, reaching 490MWh of cumulative installations by the end of June 2025. In the first half of 2025, the country added 48.4MWh of new storage – a 74% drop compared to the first half of 2024.
