These compliances address critical areas including thermal runaway safety, battery performance, system functional safety, electromagnetic compatibility and transportation safety.
Manufacturing and Capability Development
SPML Infra is establishing its BESS manufacturing and integration capabilities in Pune, Maharashtra. Capabilities are being developed across:
- Battery pack assembly
- Engineering
- System integration
- Large-scale project execution
This represents an important step in SPML's strategy to progressively localize critical BESS engineering and technology capabilities in India.
Management Commentary
Abhinandan Sethi, Managing Director of SPML Infra Limited, stated: "The validation of our proprietary 104.4 kWh battery pack represents an important milestone in SPML Infra's energy storage journey. What makes this particularly significant for us is that we are developing technology and engineering capabilities within SPML, rather than limiting our role to manufacturing or project execution."
He further added: "Our ambition is to build an integrated Indian energy storage platform spanning proprietary product development, manufacturing, system integration and large-scale project execution. We believe this combination can create significant long-term value as energy storage becomes an increasingly critical component of India's power infrastructure."
Strategic Context
The milestone strengthens the Company's ability to develop, manufacture and further evolve battery energy storage products for the Indian market. SPML sees BESS as a strategic extension of its established capabilities in power infrastructure and an important pillar of the Company's future growth.
