  • Backward Integration: The company approved establishing an in-house container fabrication facility. This move, which has progressed into the equipment installation phase, aims to improve supply chain control and enhance execution flexibility across its BESS manufacturing value chain.

The proposed capacity addition requires approximately Rs 200 Crore and will be financed through internal accruals.
