Havells India has entered the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) segment through a strategic collaboration with Norway-based energy storage technology company Pixii AS. The partnership aims to develop and introduce advanced, modular battery energy storage solutions for the Indian market, supporting the country’s growing clean energy and renewable power ambitions.
Under the collaboration, Havells will leverage its strong manufacturing capabilities, extensive sales and distribution network, and deep understanding of the Indian market. Pixii, meanwhile, will contribute its globally proven energy storage technology to jointly deliver reliable, scalable, and efficient battery storage solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and will implement the partnership through a phased roadmap. The initial phase includes pilot installations to evaluate market demand and validate commercial opportunities. Based on these findings, the partners will co-develop an integrated battery energy storage solution tailored to the needs of Indian consumers and businesses.
A key focus of the collaboration is the localization of manufacturing in India. Havells and Pixii also plan to jointly develop products specifically designed for Indian operating conditions, helping strengthen the domestic battery storage ecosystem while supporting the country’s transition toward cleaner and more resilient energy infrastructure.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Norway’s Ambassador to India, May-Elin Stener, along with senior representatives from the Embassy of Norway, Havells India, and Pixii AS. Company officials highlighted that the collaboration combines global energy storage innovation with local manufacturing expertise to accelerate the adoption of advanced battery storage technologies in India.
According to Havells, India’s residential and commercial Battery Energy Storage System market is expected to reach ₹10,000–12,000 crore by FY30, with demand projected to grow at more than 100% CAGR over the next three years. Through this strategic alliance, Havells and Pixii aim to strengthen India’s energy storage capabilities while supporting the increasing integration of renewable energy across the country.
