Vikram Solar board clears Rs 4,371-cr capex for BESS expansion
Vikram Solar said that its board has approved a capital expenditure (capex) of about Rs 4,371 crore to be undertaken through wholly owned subsidiary, VSL Powerhive, for Phase 1 of its battery energy storage system (BESS).
Powerhive’s long-term roadmap outlines a planned 30 GWh of battery cell, module/pack, and BESS manufacturing capacity to be developed in a phased manner. As part of Phase 1, VSL Powerhive will commission a 5 GWh BESS manufacturing facility at Oragadam, Tamil Nadu by FY27.

Further, the company is also advancing backward integration into battery cell manufacturing, with plans to set up a 7.5 GWh cell manufacturing facility that is expected to be fully operational by FY29, subject to receipt of applicable statutory and regulatory approvals. A core component of this venture will be a dedicated R&D lab, tasked with developing future-ready battery products and innovative solutions to maintain market leadership.

The proposed capital expenditure shall be funded through a combination of debt and equity.

Vikram Solar is one of the leading Indian solar module manufacturers, specializing in efficient photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing, with an international presence across 39 countries.
