The company is significantly increasing its investment and capacity in a new energy storage project, indicating growth and expansion, which is a positive development.
Godawari Power And Ispat Limited (GPIL) has announced a significant enhancement of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project capacity. The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Godawari New Energy Private Limited (GNEPL), will increase the project capacity from the initially planned 10 Gwh to a total of 40 Gwh. This expansion will be implemented in two phases.
Phase I will see the capacity increase from 10 Gwh to 20 Gwh, with an investment of ₹1025 Crores. This phase is expected to commence commercial operations in Q1 FY2027-28. Phase II will further expand the capacity from 20 Gwh to 40 Gwh, requiring an additional investment of ₹600 Crores and is projected for FY28-29. The total investment for the 40 Gwh project will be ₹1625 Crores, an increase from the initial ₹700 Crores planned for the 10 Gwh project.
The decision to increase capacity in Phase I to 20 Gwh is driven by the availability of a single-line unit capable of manufacturing 20 Gwh BESS per annum. This allows for effective land utilization, lower building structural costs, and overall reduced investment for the 20 Gwh line. The company anticipates cost savings in manufacturing and higher operating margins due to this efficiency.
The project will be funded through a combination of debt raised by GNEPL and equity infusion by GPIL from its internal accruals. The Board of Directors approved this enhanced proposal on December 12, 2025.
