Maruti Suzuki India Limited has commissioned a 1 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its Kharkhoda manufacturing facility in Haryana, as per a PTI news report.
Introduced as a pilot initiative, the system has been integrated into the plant's internal electricity distribution network to improve energy management and optimise the use of renewable power.
The development builds on the company's 20 MWp solar power project commissioned at the Kharkhoda facility in 2025.
According to the company, surplus solar power generated during facility holidays could not be utilised because of the absence of electricity demand. The newly commissioned BESS is designed to store this excess energy and make it available when required.
Apart from storing surplus electricity generated during low-demand periods, the battery storage system is also expected to improve grid stability.
The initiative forms part of Maruti Suzuki's efforts to strengthen energy efficiency while increasing the use of renewable energy in its manufacturing operations.
Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, said the commissioning of the BESS aligns with India's focus on building self-reliant energy ecosystems.
He added, "With a lifecycle of about 15 years, BESS will help to reduce nearly 54 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually."
Takeuchi also said, "Our production volumes will increase from current levels. Despite this, we remain committed to lower Scope 1 & 2 emissions not only in terms of CO₂ intensity but also in absolute CO₂ emission in manufacturing."
