GEON, the future technologies arm of Kabra Extrusiontechnik, has completed the integration and commissioning of a massive 2.88 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat.

 

Thus, bringing one of India’s largest utility-scale storage projects online in just five months. The facility is now fully commercially operational.

 

Located in the rapidly expanding Khavda renewable energy zone, the project strengthens what is fast becoming one of India’s most significant clean energy hubs. 

 

GEON handled full system integration and execution, including testing and commissioning of Power Conditioning Systems (PCS), transformers, and advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS).

 

Anand Kabra, Chairman and Managing Director at Geon – Green Energy ON, said: "The Khavda project is a meaningful marker of how quickly energy storage infrastructure is scaling in India. 

 

"Battery storage is no longer a supporting technology — it is fast becoming central to how we manage and deliver clean power at grid scale. We are proud to have delivered this project on time and look forward to building on this momentum."

 

Saurabh Jain, CEO – Energy Storage, GEON, added: “GEON successfully delivered the 2.88 GWh BESS Khavda project as nodal agency, completing the entire scope within an impressive timeline of just five months. The achievement reflects strong planning, efficient execution, and seamless coordination between the engineering and on-site project teams. 

 

"This milestone highlights GEON’s capability in executing large-scale energy storage projects with speed, precision, and high standards of quality. As India's renewable capacity grows, infrastructure like this will be critical to making that capacity reliable and dispatchable."

 

The project arrives at a pivotal moment for India’s energy transition, as investment in battery storage accelerates to support rising renewable capacity and stabilize the grid. 

 

GEON is also advancing plans for domestic BESS manufacturing, including a proposed gigafactory aimed at strengthening India’s long-term energy storage ecosystem.
