KOTA, India, April 16,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- What if your next battery didn't
catch fire, didn't use lithium, and could operate between -40°C
cold to 60°C heat without breaking a sweat?
In a landmark move for India's
energy sector, Indexel Engineering, a family-owned EPC firm
based in Rajasthan, has partnered with UNIGRID, a U.S.-based
battery tech innovator, to secure 50 MWh of advanced sodium-ion
batteries, making Indexel one of India's first movers in sodium-ion BESS
deployment.
The new battery systems will be deployed across industrial hubs,
renewable integration projects, and microgrid applications,
addressing India's need for
cost-effective, thermally stable, and safe energy storage
alternatives.
"We're thrilled to have UNIGRID as our technology
partner," said Anushka Singhal,
Energy Division Lead at Indexel, IONS. "Sodium-ion batteries are
safer, cheaper, and better suited for our climatic conditions, this
partnership accelerates our vision of resilient and clean energy
for all."
Unlike lithium-ion, these sodium-ion batteries are
non-flammable, perform better in high and low temperatures, and
utilizes abundant raw materials, making them a safer, more
cost-effective, and sustainable solution for India's energy storage needs.
"India is one of the world's
most dynamic energy markets and offers many opportunities for new
energy technology adoption. We are excited to partner with Indexel
Engineering to expand the reach of our sodium-ion technology in
this impressive and innovative region" said Darren H. S. Tan, Co-Founder & CEO of
UNIGRID.
The first installations will begin in H2 2025, with a focus on
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and other western states.
