Is Sundrops Energia Positioning Itself at the Right Time in India’s BESS Revolution?

12 February 2026

The recent Union Budget has made one thing clear — Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a national priority. With customs duty benefits and policy support aimed at strengthening the domestic storage ecosystem, the government is actively encouraging large-scale adoption of energy storage solutions.

Against this strong policy backdrop, Sundrops Energia Pvt. Ltd. has secured a 120 MW / 240 MWh BESS project in GUVNL’s 670 MWh auction, as reported by Mercom India.

This is more than just a project win. It marks Sundrops Energia’s clear entry into large-scale battery storage — a segment expected to grow rapidly as India increases its renewable energy capacity.

As solar and wind installations expand, storage becomes essential to:

• Store excess power generated during peak hours

• Supply electricity when demand is high

• Improve grid stability

• Enable round-the-clock renewable energy

By securing this project at a time when policy support and market demand are both strengthening, Sundrops Energia is aligning itself with the next phase of India’s clean energy growth.

With supportive government measures and execution already underway, the company is positioning itself to participate meaningfully in India’s fast-evolving energy storage landscape.
