NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has floated an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) tender for the development of a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project at the NTPC REL Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat, marking another major step in strengthening India’s renewable energy and grid infrastructure.
The tender covers the development of a grid-connected Battery Energy Storage System ranging from 800 MW/3200 MWh to 1100 MW/3300 MWh at Pooling Substation-1 (PSS-1) of the Khavda renewable energy park. Designed to support renewable power integration and improve grid flexibility, the project is expected to enhance reliability and dispatchability as India continues expanding solar and wind capacity.

The EPC scope includes complete design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, transportation, installation, testing and commissioning of the BESS project on a turnkey basis. In addition, the selected bidder will be responsible for operation and maintenance (O&M) of the system for a period of 15 years.
The tender prescribes stringent technical and performance standards, including a minimum 25-year system life, over 10,000 charge-discharge cycles and annual system availability of 98%. Bidders are also required to guarantee a minimum 92% dispatchable capacity at the Point of Interconnection (POI) throughout the 15-year operational period, underscoring the project’s focus on long-term performance and grid reliability.
Khavda has emerged as one of India’s largest renewable energy hubs, attracting major investments in solar, wind and energy storage infrastructure. The proposed BESS deployment is expected to support renewable energy balancing, strengthen grid stability and advance India’s long-term clean energy transition.
According to the tender schedule, bid submissions will close on June 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM.
