Maruti Suzuki commissions 1 MWh battery storage system at Kharkhoda plant

Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Ltd on Wednesday announced the commissioning of a 1 MWh battery energy storage system at its Kharkhoda manufacturing facility in Haryana. As a pilot initiative, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has been integrated into the Kharkhoda facility's internal electricity distribution network, Maruti Suzuki India said in a statement. In 2025, the company had installed a 20 MWp solar power project at the Kharkhoda facility. However, solar power generated during facility holidays could not be utilised due to the absence of demand, it added. A BESS addresses this challenge by storing excess electricity generated during low-demand periods or facility holidays and making it available when required, the company said. In addition, the BESS will help improve grid stability, Maruti Suzuki added. Stating that the company is strongly aligned with India's focus on building self-reliant energy ecosystems, Maruti Suzuki India Managing Director & CEO Hisashi
