India's push for domestic battery manufacturing just hit a major milestone: the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has received 22 bids for 10 GWh of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) capacity dedicated to grid-scale stationary storage.

With technical bids opened on 11 November 2026, major players like Exide Energy, Amara Raja, Waaree, Vikram Solar, ACME Solar, Avaada Electro, and Fujiyama Power Systems are in the running. Backed by the ₹18,100 crore PLI scheme targeting 50 GWh in total capacity, this tender is set to boost local manufacturing and attract fresh global investment into India's clean energy ecosystem.
