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

Kejriwal to seek automakers' written assurances on E20 fuel, to write to PM

Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said he would write to three major automakers, seeking written assurances that the use of E20 fuel does not damage engines or reduce mileage. He also said that he would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the "strong protest" by people against ethanol blending and would urge him that the fuel be made optional. Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal named Maruti Suzuki, Toyota Kirloskar and Hero MotoCorp, alleging that their public statements contradicted the guidance in the owner manuals of their vehicles. "I will write letters to all of them... I will tell them that your owner manual says one thing, but you are saying something else. Give in writing that if the mileage of your vehicle drops by more than 10 per cent, will you compensate the customer," Kejriwal said. "If using E20 ethanol in your vehicle damages the vehicle or causes wear and tear, will you compensate for the replacement of those components?,"
