Vikram Solar, a leading Indian solar module manufacturer, is entering the solid-state battery market.
It plans to set up a 1GWh battery manufacturing facility, expandable to 5GWh, to meet growing energy storage demand.
The company will use proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) technology for efficient storage solutions.
Solid-state batteries offer higher efficiency, longer lifespan (up to 10,000 cycles), and improved safety compared to lithium-ion batteries.

India’s Energy Storage & Renewable Targets
- India aims to reach 50% renewable energy by 2030, but energy storage is crucial for grid stability.
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity is expected to grow by 23-24GW between 2025-2030, as per CRISIL.
Advanced Battery Technology Advantages
- Higher storage efficiency with minimal electroactive metal loss.
- No dendrite formation, avoiding performance degradation (a major issue in lithium-ion batteries).
- Faster charging (5C charge rate) and long-term durability.
- Safer & environmentally friendly, with non-hazardous, fully recyclable materials.
‘Atmanirbharta’ & Domestic Manufacturing
- Vikram Solar plans to use India-made components, reducing import dependency.
- Partnering with Entity2 Energy Storage Pvt Ltd., which holds patents for non-lithium solid-state battery tech.
- Strengthening India’s position in the global energy storage industry.

Energy Storage is critical for India's renewable energy future, ensuring reliable power supply even with intermittent solar/wind energy.
Vikram Solar’s move makes it an integrated energy solutions provider, combining solar power generation with advanced battery storage.
A step towards energy security & sustainability, positioning India as a leader in next-gen battery tech.
