Diesel at ₹95–105 / litre

Shut down your diesel generator. For good.

Your DG set runs at ₹18–22/unit. Infozeb BESS + solar runs at ₹2–3/unit. For a 60 kW load, that is ₹15–20 lakh saved every year — and under 4 years to payback.

The real cost

Your 60 kW DG set costs you ₹16.8 lakh every year. Just on fuel.

And that is before you count maintenance, oil changes, the ₹2–4 lakh CPCB CEMS instrumentation now mandatory for any DG above 62.5 kVA, and the reputational cost of fumes and noise.

Numbers assume diesel at ₹100/L, 8 hours/day operation, and a typical Indian MSME load profile. Your actual savings depend on tariff, daylight hours, and load pattern — use the calculator for a site-specific number.

CPCB CEMS · enforcement active

Every DG above 62.5 kVA needs Continuous Emission Monitoring.

Add ₹2–4 lakh for instrumentation, plus ongoing third-party reporting and audits. Or skip the requirement entirely by replacing the DG with a BESS. State boards (HSPCB, MPCB, GPCB, TNPCB) are inspecting now.

Sizing guide

Which Infozeb model replaces which DG?

Map your DG kVA to an Infozeb BESS. Most factories keep a smaller standby DG for multi-hour outages; the BESS handles 95% of everyday load.

Frequently asked

Operator questions, answered.

How fast does it switch over when the grid drops?
Grid-to-battery transfer is under 20 milliseconds — fast enough that no computer, server, refrigeration, or critical medical equipment notices. A typical DG ATS takes 5–10 seconds, long enough for elevators to stop and processes to interrupt.
What is the running cost of DG vs BESS in 2026?
A 60 kW DG burns ~15 L of diesel per hour at full load. At ₹100/L, that is ~₹18–22 per unit. An Infozeb BESS charged from solar plus trickle grid runs at ₹2–3 per unit — a 7–10× cost advantage.
Does BESS solve the CPCB CEMS compliance burden?
Yes. CPCB CEMS applies to DGs above 62.5 kVA (₹2–4L instrumentation + ongoing reporting). Replacing the DG with a BESS eliminates the requirement entirely. Even right-sizing the DG below 62.5 kVA helps.
How long is the payback for a commercial BESS?
Most MSME factories and hospitals running 30–240 kW loads reach payback in 3–4 years on BESS + solar. Sites that pay both demand charges and peak-rate diesel can hit payback in under 3.
Can we keep the DG as standby and use the battery primarily?
Yes — most common deployment. BESS handles 95% of outages and peak shaving; DG stays for multi-hour blackouts. Many sites then shrink the DG to a smaller backup unit, cutting both capital and maintenance cost.
