Advait Battery, Adaptive Engineering partner on BESS manufacturing platform in India

Advait Battery Ecosystems, a subsidiary of Advait Energy Transitions, has signed an agreement with Adaptive Engineering to jointly establish, develop and commercialize an integrated BESS manufacturing and solutions platform in India. The collaboration aims to combine manufacturing, engineering, system integration and lifecycle optimization capabilities to serve India’s rapidly growing utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) energy storage market. 

Rather than focusing solely on manufacturing, the collaboration is intended to create an end-to-end BESS platform spanning the entire value chain, from cell integration and system engineering to energy management systems (EMS), system integration and long-term lifecycle optimization. 

Under the agreement, Advait Battery Ecosystems will lead infrastructure development, manufacturing, capital investment, commercial engagement and business development for the BESS platform. The company said it has already secured land for the manufacturing facility, initiated civil development works, finalized the assembly line OEM with technical inputs from Adaptive, and is targeting commissioning of the facility by November 2026 while actively engaging with public sector undertakings and leading renewable energy developers for prospective opportunities. 

Adaptive Engineering will contribute its expertise in engineering design, PLC, SCADA, EMS architecture and system integration, leading the technology and engineering functions for BESS projects executed under the collaboration. The company brings experience across more than 68 GW of renewable energy projects, 55 GW-plus of power plant controller (PPC) installations, 1.4 GWh of EMS-BESS deployments, and management of over 500 renewable sites, strengthening the platform’s technical capabilities. 

The collaboration will target both utility-scale and C&I BESS applications, offering integrated solutions covering cell-to-rack assembly, Energy Management Systems, system integration and associated power conversion infrastructure. The platform is also intended to remain adaptable for future technologies such as hydrogen, fuel cells, EV charging infrastructure, microgrids and virtual power plants, ensuring long-term scalability as India’s energy landscape evolves. 

Beyond technology integration, the agreement establishes a framework for long-term collaboration in engineering, manufacturing, commercial development and customer engagement. Advait will spearhead client acquisition, tendering and commercial relationships, while Adaptive will support proposal development, technical documentation, design optimization and lifecycle strategy for future projects. 

Advait Battery Ecosystems is building a cell-to-system BESS manufacturing platform that will cater to utility-scale as well as C&I applications. Its focus spans battery assembly, system integration, engineering, energy management and lifecycle optimization.
