ACME Solar, an India-based renewable energy company, has commissioned a further BESS phase of 88.02 MW/366.969 MWh at its FDRE project, which is located in Neemri village of the Rawatbhata tehsil, in the Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, India. The phase was commissioned on 30 October 2026 through ACME Sigma Urja Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, and its commercial operation date (COD) has been set for 1 November 2026.

The FDRE project has been planned with a BESS discharge capacity of 250 MW/1,069 MWh. ACME Solar has stated that, with the latest phase, the cumulative commissioned BESS capacity of ACME Sigma Urja at the project has reached 159.660 MW/664.261 MWh. The remaining capacity of the project is still to be commissioned.

The latest phase has followed a smaller one of 17.91 MW/74.323 MWh, which had been commissioned only a week earlier, on 23 October, and which had reached its COD on 25 October. That phase had brought the cumulative capacity to 71.640 MW/297.292 MWh, so the energy capacity that has been commissioned at the site has more than doubled within the space of a week.

Both of the phases have been disclosed to BSE and to the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015. Each filing has been made in continuation of the previous one, and the filing on the latest phase is dated 31 October 2026.

In Bikaner, which is also in Rajasthan, the BESS of another FDRE project of ACME Solar is being commissioned in phases as well. Its second phase, of 52.32 MW/209.28 MWh, had been commissioned on 17 September 2026 by ACME Greentech Seventh.
