Waaree Transpower, a subsidiary of Waaree Energies, has secured a contract valued at ₹1.6 billion (₹160 crore) to supply 8.3 MVA medium-voltage (MV) skids to a leading global energy storage technology and solutions provider. The agreement tasks the company with providing specialized electrical infrastructure designed to support front-of-the-meter Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications in international markets.
Key Order Details & Commercial Scope
The following data points outline the commercial framework and strategic significance of the contract:
- Deal Value: ₹1.6 Billion (₹160 Crore), equivalent to USD 16.5 Million.
- Supplier: Waaree Transpower Private Limited (formerly known as Kotsons Pvt Ltd).
- Application: Specialized grid-interconnection infrastructure for global Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and utility-scale assets.
- Delivery Timeline: Immediate execution is underway, with shipments having commenced in July 2026.
- Strategic Context: Following board approval in March 2026, parent company Waaree Energies increased its equity holding in Waaree Transpower to 75.1%, integrating the subsidiary into its “Waaree 2.0” momentum.
Technical & System Specifications
The order specifies the delivery of integrated MV skid solutions that function as the electrical backbone for battery assets. These units serve as compact, factory-assembled alternatives to traditional site-built substations, simplifying deployment for grid-scale infrastructure.
- Capacity: Each medium-voltage skid is rated at 8.3 MVA.
- Design & Form Factor: The systems utilize a 20-foot containerized “plug-and-play” configuration, integrating critical MV electrical equipment into a single package.
- Logistics Features: The hardware features a “stackable and shippable” design, specifically engineered for rapid installation at large-scale deployment sites.
- Standards & Compliance: The hardware is fully compliant with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, ensuring bankability across diverse international markets.
- Functionality: These skids facilitate grid balancing and the provision of ancillary services by integrating battery storage with wider power networks to manage renewable intermittency from solar and wind assets.
Project Execution & Delivery
The commencement of shipments in July 2026 highlights Waaree Transpower’s transition from conventional transformer production into the specialized BESS electrical infrastructure ecosystem. As renewable penetration increases, the market is shifting focus from generation equipment toward the wider ecosystem of grid-interconnection infrastructure. Viren Doshi, Director of Waaree Energies, noted that the order reinforces the group’s positioning as a “globally competitive electrical infrastructure partner for the energy transition.”
This contract aligns with the broader manufacturing scaling of the Waaree group, which recently operationalized an automated BESS container facility in Rola, Gujarat. This facility was uprated from an originally planned 3.5 GWh to 5.15 GWh through production debottlenecking and improved energy density. The group’s financial trajectory supports this expansion; as of late July 2026, the parent company reported a record order book of ₹61,500 crore, bolstered by ₹16,000 crore in fresh bookings during Q1 FY27. This milestone deal further solidifies the group’s capacity to deliver standardized, modular platforms required for the accelerating global shift toward utility-scale energy storage.
