Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Maruti Suzuki India has commissioned 1 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Kharkhoda manufacturing facility in Haryana. The commissioning is part of the company’s continued efforts to align with India's focus on building self-reliant energy ecosystems. As a pilot initiative, a BESS has been integrated into the Kharkhoda facility's internal electricity distribution network. 

The company had installed a 20 MWp solar power project at the said facility in 2025. However, solar power generated during facility holidays could not be utilised due to the absence of demand. A BESS addresses this challenge by storing excess electricity generated during low-demand periods or facility holidays and making it available when required. Further, the BESS will help improve grid stability. 

Maruti Suzuki India is an automobile manufacturer in India. It provides passenger cars, utility vehicles and vans. The firm also offers pre-owned car sales, fleet management and car financing services.
