Bengaluru tech parks need silent backup. BESS delivers.

BESCOM allows progressive net metering. Bengaluru tech parks, biotech labs, and ITES campuses can't tolerate the noise and emission risk of large DG sets — and the tariff supports payback. Karnataka is the second-fastest growing C&I BESS market.

Bengaluru tech parks can't put a 1 MVA DG next to their lobby. BESS is the only viable C&I backup.

Bengaluru ITES campuses, biotech parks in Electronic City, and aerospace MSMEs in Peenya drive C&I demand. Coastal Karnataka (Mangaluru) has cyclone-related grid risk. Residential demand grows fastest in Mysuru and tier-2 cities.

Karnataka · frequently asked

Local questions, answered.

Will the BESS handle the load profile of a server room?
Yes. ITES and biotech sites typically draw a flat baseline (24×7) with periodic spikes (CRAC restart, lab equipment). BESS handles both — flat draw at high efficiency, surge headroom for the spikes. We deploy with redundant N+1 cabinets for mission-critical floors.
What if I'm in an STPI / SEZ — can I deploy on-site?
Yes. STPI campuses routinely deploy on-site BESS within the SEZ footprint. The customs and tax framework is straightforward — equipment is treated as part of the site's infrastructure investment. We've shipped to 4 SEZ deployments in Karnataka.
Does the BESS need a special permission from BESCOM?
BESS as a self-consumption load doesn't trigger a special BESCOM permit. The hybrid solar inverter / PCS that integrates with the rooftop solar does require standard rooftop-solar approval, which we file as part of the install package.
