PURE Powering Up: Enters Energy Storage with PuREPower

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH)-incubated PURE has announced its expansion into the energy storage sector with PuREPower, offering solutions for residential, commercial, and grid applications.

PURE will manufacture these energy storage systems at its Kandi facility in Telangana, which currently produces 40,000 EVs annually and has a storage capacity of 200 MWh. Over the next five years, the company aims to scale production to five to six GWh per year.

While the storage cells are imported, PURE is actively localizing other components and collaborating with IITH and ARCI for battery technology R&D. The company has invested ₹150-160 crore so far and plans to invest ₹400 crore in the coming years. Having already raised ₹200 crore by diluting less than 20% equity, PURE will offer storage solutions ranging from 3 kVA to 15 kVA for homes and 25 kVA to 100 kVA for commercial use.

By 2026, PURE will introduce grid-scale storage solutions featuring compact, container-based systems with capacities of up to 4 MWh. These will cater to state utilities, industries, micro-grids, and renewable energy parks. “As India’s power grid adapts to the rapid expansion of solar and wind energy, PuREPower Grid will play a critical role in grid stabilization, peak load management, and renewable energy integration. By enabling frequency regulation, reducing transmission losses, and ensuring grid reliability, it supports India’s decarbonization goals and strengthens its energy infrastructure for a sustainable future,” said Founder & MD, Dr. Nishanth Dongari.
