Advait Energy Transitions Limited has commenced on-ground work for its 50 MW / 100 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Gujarat, awarded by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL). The construction phase was formally inaugurated with a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony at the project site in Radhanpur.
The project marks Advait’s first large-scale standalone BESS development and will be executed under the Build–Own–Operate (BOO) model. It forms part of GUVNL’s larger 500 MW / 1 GWh standalone energy storage programme designed to enhance grid stability and enable deeper integration of renewable energy into the state’s power mix.
Under the awarded terms, the project will have a capacity of 50 MW / 100 MWh and will operate at a tariff of ₹226,000 per MW per month over a concession period of 12 years. The commissioning is targeted for the third quarter of FY 2026–27.
The storage system is being developed as part of GUVNL’s broader initiative supported by Viability Gap Funding (VGF), aimed at accelerating the deployment of standalone battery storage projects across Gujarat. The programme is expected to play a critical role in balancing renewable energy generation, managing peak demand, and improving overall grid flexibility.
With construction now underway, the project represents a significant milestone for Advait Energy Transitions Limited as it enters the utility-scale battery storage segment, signalling the transition of large-scale BESS projects in India from policy announcements to on-ground execution.
