AmpereHour Energy, a battery energy storage provider, has inaugurated a BESS manufacturing and integration facility in Chakan, Pune. The plant has a planned production capacity of 5 GWh and represents the company's expansion from BESS technology integration into manufacturing. Its stated focus is localised integration and engineering for India's energy storage market.
The facility will manufacture and integrate battery cabinets and containerised DC-AC blocks. These products are intended for utility-scale, commercial, and industrial applications. The company describes the equipment as Make in India products, reflecting the local manufacturing scope of the facility.
The manufacturing platform combines a hardware-agnostic architecture with AmpereHour Energy's proprietary ELINA Energy Management System. It also incorporates subsystem engineering and safety systems. AH-Suite, the company's digital factory quality management and product testing platform, forms another part of the production setup.
AH-Suite is intended to provide traceability across the manufacturing process and support performance validation before systems move from the factory to project sites. The company also said the platform would enable faster deployment of battery energy storage systems. These functions connect factory-level quality control with project delivery requirements.
Rahul Shelke, Co-founder and Managing Director of AmpereHour Energy, said the manufacturing expansion was based on the company's experience as a system integrator. He linked that experience to its understanding of storage asset safety, intelligence, and reliability in operating environments. The announcement did not specify an investment value, commissioning schedule for full capacity, or customer contracts associated with the facility.
