Andritz wins Tata Power contract for 1000 MW pumped storage project in India

Andritz has secured a major contract from Tata Power to supply key equipment for the 1,000 MW Bhivpuri pumped storage project in Maharashtra, further strengthening its position in India’s fast-growing energy storage sector.
Under the agreement, the company will deliver three reversible pump turbines, motor-generators, and associated electromechanical systems. Its scope also covers design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of the units, supported by its local manufacturing footprint and global engineering network.
The Bhivpuri plant is expected to play a key role in supporting Maharashtra’s expanding renewable energy capacity. As solar and wind generation continue to grow, pumped storage projects are increasingly critical for balancing supply and demand and ensuring grid stability.
Pumped storage technology enables utilities to store excess energy and dispatch it when needed, helping maintain reliable electricity supply while integrating variable renewable sources. Once operational, the Bhivpuri facility will contribute to improved grid resilience and round-the-clock clean energy availability in the region.
“Large-scale energy storage is essential for integrating growing shares of variable renewable power,” said Ravindra G, regional executive and managing director & CEO, Andritz Hydropower India. “With advanced pumped storage technology, Andritz is contributing to the development of resilient energy systems that support long-term decarbonization while ensuring reliable electricity supply.”
The contract marks the first major pumped storage collaboration between Andritz and Tata Power. Andritz is currently involved in seven pumped storage projects across India, with a combined capacity exceeding 11 GW, underscoring its strategic focus on supporting the global energy transition.
