Battery deal targets telecom infrastructure in India

Battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions are again in the news following a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between a leading name on the field and Indus Towers, one of India’s leading telecom infrastructure companies.

Replus Engitech, an integrated energy storage and clean energy company (and a subsidiary of advanced battery materials business HEG Advanced Materials), and Indus Towers have signed an MoU outlining their intent to explore collaboration on BESS solutions for telecom infrastructure in India.

Under the MoU, Replus intends to make available dedicated BESS production capacity of 1.5 GWh over a two-year period to support the evolving energy requirements of telecom infrastructure.

Replus also plans to expand its portfolio of telecom energy storage solutions, including higher-capacity battery systems, while exploring emerging technologies such as sodium-ion batteries that can enhance reliability, energy efficiency and lifecycle performance across telecom applications.

There is also a local manufacturing angle to this deal. Riju Jhunjhunwala, Chairman, Managing Director and CEO, HEG Advanced Materials Limited, explains: “This initiative reflects the opportunity we see in building a strong, made-in-India energy storage ecosystem for critical infrastructure. Through Replus, we are building the manufacturing scale, technology capabilities and innovation platform required to address these evolving requirements and contribute meaningfully to India’s energy transition.”

Replus says it has deployed over 1 GWh of energy storage capacity across BESS, electric mobility, telecom power solutions, and hybrid energy applications, serving customers across diverse sectors in India.
