Jupiter Electric Mobility (JEM), a subsidiary of Jupiter Wagons, has unveiled its first-ever containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), marking a major step forward for India’s sustainable energy landscape. These modular, domestically designed solutions are positioned to power the nation’s clean energy transition across commercial, industrial, and grid-scale applications.
Scalable, Modular Solutions: Designed for India’s Needs
JEM’s new BESS platform features containerised, air-cooled battery systems housed in robust 10-foot and 20-foot containers. Built at state-of-the-art facilities in Indore and Bangalore, these units are developed with a focus on:
- Scalability: Capacities range from 241 kWh to 3 MWh, allowing customers to tailor solutions for everything from small sites to large industrial parks.
- Mobility & Durability: Containerised design supports simple transport and quick deployment—even in harsh conditions.
- Reliability: Systems feature modular racks, air-cooled batteries, and advanced power management to maximize uptime.
Versatility Across Clean Energy Use Cases
The containerised BESS is engineered to address multiple challenges facing India’s energy stakeholders. Key applications include:
- Diesel generator (DG) replacement, eliminating dependence on polluting backup power.
- Solar, wind, and other renewable energy storage, smoothing energy supply throughout the day and night.
- Energy shifting and peak management for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.
- Secure backup power for grid-connected and off-grid sites.
- Mobile ESS for events, hospitality, and temporary installations.
In-House Innovation and Strategic Partnerships
JEM stands apart by pursuing a vertically integrated model—every component, from container fabrication to battery assembly and system integration, is designed and built in-house. This approach enhances quality, cost control, and speed-to-market, placing JEM among the few Indian companies with such capabilities in the energy storage domain.
The very first 10-foot BESS system has been supplied to Greenlit, a Mumbai-based subsidiary of Recube, in partnership with GMMCO, a CKA Birla Group company. This collaboration is enabling decarbonisation efforts across the events, entertainment, and hospitality sectors.
Ambitious Expansion Plans and Global Outlook
JEM is actively expanding its BESS presence. Key future plans include:
- Scaling its Indore plant from 1 GWh to 5 GWh annual production over the next three years.
- Exporting its first 20-foot BESS unit to Africa, marking the company’s entry into international markets.
- Rolling out liquid-cooled BESS systems tailored for grid-scale use.
- Pursuing IEC certifications and international standards for performance and safety.
Driving Industry Collaboration for a Clean Energy Backbone
Company leadership highlights how these systems are redefining what’s possible for clean energy adoption:
“With our modular 10 ft and 20 ft containerised BESS, we mark an important milestone for domestic innovation in storage. Our engineering and manufacturing strength will help scale this segment rapidly, creating a resilient backbone for India’s clean energy future.” — Vivek Lohia, Managing Director, Jupiter Group
“Partnering with JEM enables us to help customers across India transition to sustainable, round-the-clock clean power. Together, we are supporting industry’s journey to net zero.” — Pankaj Kumar Jha, Senior VP, GMMCO
A Foundation for Net Zero 2070
Jupiter Electric Mobility’s BESS launch directly supports India’s Net Zero 2070 vision. By making storage flexible, affordable, and homegrown, JEM is enabling deeper renewable energy integration, reducing carbon intensity for industries, and providing the reliable backup needed for a truly green future.
With such bold innovation and strategy, JEM is poised to become a foundational player in India’s rapidly evolving clean power landscape—putting advanced storage at the heart of the nation’s energy revolution
