ACME Solar completes second phase of Rajasthan battery storage project

ACME Solar Holdings has commissioned the second phase of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Rajasthan through its subsidiary ACME Sun Power Pvt Ltd. The new phase adds 33.335 MW/160.51 MWh capacity, taking the total commissioned capacity to 66.67 MW/320.99 MWh.

ACME Solar Holdings has commissioned the second phase of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Rajasthan through its wholly owned subsidiary ACME Sun Power Private Limited, further strengthening its renewable energy infrastructure portfolio.

The company disclosed the development through a regulatory filing under SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulation 30, confirming the commercial operation date for the newly commissioned capacity as March 14, 2026.

Phase Two Capacity Details

The second phase of the project adds 33.335 MW of power capacity and 160.51 MWh of energy storage capacity to the system.

The facility is located in Village Badi Sid, Tehsil Bap, in the districts of Phalodi and Jodhpur in Rajasthan, a region that has emerged as one of India’s key renewable energy hubs due to its high solar potential.

Battery Energy Storage Systems play an important role in balancing electricity supply and demand by storing energy generated from renewable sources and releasing it when required, helping stabilize power grids.

Progress Toward Full Project Capacity

With the commissioning of the second phase, the cumulative capacity installed under the project has reached:

Total commissioned capacity: 66.67 MW / 320.99 MWh

Total planned project capacity: 300 MW / 1409.34 MWh

This means approximately 22% of the project’s power capacity and 23% of the total energy storage capacity has now been commissioned.

The development follows an earlier update issued by the company on March 6, 2026, when ACME Solar had informed exchanges about progress on the energy storage project.

Supporting India’s Renewable Energy Grid

Battery energy storage projects are increasingly becoming a critical part of India’s renewable energy ecosystem. As solar and wind energy production fluctuates depending on weather conditions, storage infrastructure helps maintain reliable power supply and grid stability.

Rajasthan has become a strategic location for such projects due to its extensive solar generation capacity and ongoing investments in clean energy infrastructure.

The successful commissioning of the second phase highlights ACME Solar Holdings’ ability to deliver large-scale energy storage projects while contributing to the modernization of India’s power grid and supporting the country’s transition toward renewable energy.
