AmpereHour Energy opens 5 GWh BESS manufacturing facility in Pune
AmpereHour Energy has inaugurated a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manufacturing and integration facility at Chakan, Pune, marking its entry into large-scale manufacturing. The facility will focus on the integration of Make in India cabinet and containerised Battery DC-AC Blocks for utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
The company said the new facility has a planned manufacturing capacity of 5 GWh and is aimed at strengthening India’s energy storage ecosystem through localised integration, engineering capabilities and digital manufacturing.
The manufacturing platform combines AmpereHour Energy’s hardware-agnostic architecture, proprietary Energy Management System (EMS), subsystem engineering and safety design with AH-Suite, the company’s digital factory quality management and product testing platform.
According to the company, AH-Suite provides complete traceability, product testing and performance validation, helping reduce the time required to move systems from the factory to project sites.
AmpereHour Energy said its move into manufacturing builds on its experience in executing BESS projects, with the facility designed to address customer requirements related to system performance, safety, reliability and lifecycle management.
The company added that its proprietary ELINA Energy Management System powers its energy storage deployments, supporting renewable energy integration, peak demand management, grid flexibility and long-term asset performance.
Expansion into manufacturing
The company said the facility represents its transition from a BESS technology integrator to a manufacturer of energy storage systems for both domestic and international markets.
Commenting on the launch, Rahul Shelke, Co-founder & Managing Director, AmpereHour Energy, said, “Energy storage is becoming the backbone of the future grid, and India has an opportunity to lead not just in scale, but through technology-led innovation. Our expansion into advanced BESS manufacturing is built on years of experience as system integrators — understanding what makes storage assets safer, smarter and more reliable in real operating environments. With our Make in India DC Block platform and digital infrastructure like AH-Suite, we are building more than products; we are building long-term energy resilience.”
Ayush Misra, Co-founder & CEO, AmpereHour Energy, said, “For us, manufacturing was a natural progression of our journey as a BESS technology integrator. Energy storage is not just about assembling batteries; it is about engineering intelligent assets that deliver reliable performance throughout their lifecycle. AH-Suite brings our field learnings into manufacturing by ensuring every system is digitally validated before it reaches site.”
He added that the company’s experience in deploying BESS projects now forms the foundation of its manufacturing approach by integrating engineering, software and digital validation into its energy storage platforms.
