Cummins India Limited has introduced its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), further expanding its sustainable power solutions portfolio under its ‘Destination Zero’ strategy. The new system is designed to support India’s evolving energy landscape, offering enhanced reliability and integration of renewable power into the grid.
The BESS solution from Cummins aims to meet the energy transition needs of key sectors including manufacturing, data centers, real estate, and mining. These storage systems help manage fluctuations in solar and wind power by storing excess energy and supplying it during peak demand, allowing businesses to reduce energy costs and improve supply consistency.
Managing Director Shveta Arya highlighted the importance of this launch in the context of India’s push toward net-zero emissions by 2070. “This is a pivotal moment to innovate with purpose. Our BESS offers a reliable and scalable foundation for tomorrow’s energy ecosystem,” she said.
Pankaj Kapoor, Vice President – Distribution Business, emphasized that customers are increasingly looking for smarter energy solutions. “Cummins’ BESS is built to meet the growing demand for power reliability, while aligning with sustainability goals,” he noted.
The system offers modular and scalable configurations, with options in 10ft and 20ft containers delivering outputs from 200 kWh to 2 MWh. It features advanced lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) battery technology, a liquid cooling system for thermal efficiency, and a three-tier fire safety design. Plug-and-play capability ensures rapid installation and flexibility in deployment.
With global safety certifications and the backing of Cummins’ service network, the BESS launch marks a major step in Cummins India’s mission to provide dependable, clean energy solutions that meet the demands of a decarbonizing future.
