Hardi Hydro Energy has secured a major energy storage contract after winning the competitive auction conducted by SJVN for a standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Haryana. The project involves the development of a 250 MW / 500 MWh battery storage facility, marking a significant addition to the state’s grid-scale storage capacity.
The project will be developed at the Panipat Thermal Power Station site in Haryana. It is part of SJVN’s broader initiative to strengthen grid stability and support renewable energy integration through large-scale battery storage deployment across India.
Under the awarded contract, Hardi Hydro Energy will be responsible for the complete design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the facility. The project is expected to be completed within 18 months from the date of agreement signing.
The company has secured the full quoted capacity at a tariff of ₹1.97 lakh per MW per month through the competitive bidding process. Following commissioning, Hardi Hydro Energy will also manage operations and maintenance of the project for a period of 12 years, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
Land allocation and related facilitation will be handled in coordination with state authorities, enabling smooth project execution. The battery system will be designed to support multiple charge-discharge cycles daily, enhancing flexibility in managing peak demand and renewable power variability.
With this win, Hardi Hydro Energy strengthens its presence in India’s growing battery storage segment, while contributing to Haryana’s clean energy transition and grid modernization efforts.
