The collaboration aims to combine Havells’ extensive manufacturing capabilities, nationwide distribution network, and local market expertise with Pixii’s modular energy storage technology to support India’s growing demand for reliable and sustainable energy storage.
The companies will jointly target residential, commercial, and industrial customers as India’s energy storage market continues to expand alongside renewable energy adoption.
Partnership to Follow a Phased Growth Strategy
Under the agreement, Havells and Pixii will implement the collaboration in multiple phases.
The initial stage will focus on pilot projects designed to validate commercial opportunities and demonstrate the performance of the technology in Indian operating conditions.
Following successful pilot deployments, the companies plan to jointly develop an integrated battery energy storage solution tailored to Indian customers. The long-term roadmap also includes establishing local manufacturing capabilities in India to support large-scale deployment and improve supply chain efficiency.
The partnership is expected to address energy storage requirements across residential buildings, commercial establishments, industrial facilities, and distributed energy applications.
Combining Manufacturing Strength with Advanced Battery Technology
As part of the collaboration, Havells India will contribute:
- Manufacturing infrastructure
- Nationwide sales and distribution network
- Market knowledge and customer reach
- Local service and support capabilities
Meanwhile, Pixii will provide its modular battery storage technology, which is designed to support flexible deployments across a wide range of energy storage requirements.
The collaboration aims to deliver scalable, high-performance energy storage systems that can improve energy reliability while supporting the integration of renewable energy sources.
Pixii’s Technology Supports Multiple Energy Applications
Pixii offers modular battery storage systems ranging from small kilowatt-hour installations to multi-megawatt-hour solutions.
Its technology is suitable for various applications, including:
- Residential energy storage
- Commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities
- Grid-scale energy storage
- Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure
- Renewable energy integration
The company has already established a presence in India through an earlier collaboration with TVS Indeon, a subsidiary of Lucas TVS, to expand battery storage solutions for commercial and industrial customers.
India’s Battery Energy Storage Market Set for Rapid Growth
The partnership comes at a time when India’s battery energy storage sector is witnessing significant growth.
According to the companies, the residential and commercial & industrial BESS market in India is expected to reach between ₹100 billion and ₹120 billion by FY2030, with projected annual growth exceeding 100% over the next three years.
Industry estimates also point to strong long-term expansion.
A report by Mordor Intelligence projects that India’s overall Battery Energy Storage System market will grow from approximately $2.05 billion in 2026 to around $8.59 billion by 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.2%.
The increasing deployment of renewable energy, rising electricity demand, grid modernization initiatives, and growing adoption of electric vehicles are expected to drive this expansion.
Leadership Comments on the Partnership
Commenting on the collaboration, Thomas Ingebretsen, Chief Executive Officer of Pixii, said India represents one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for energy storage solutions.
He noted that combining Pixii’s energy storage technology with Havells’ manufacturing expertise, extensive customer network, and deep understanding of the Indian market would create significant opportunities to accelerate battery storage adoption across the country.
Supporting India’s Clean Energy Transition
Battery Energy Storage Systems are becoming increasingly important for balancing renewable energy generation, improving grid stability, reducing peak electricity demand, and enabling greater integration of solar and wind power.
As India accelerates its clean energy transition and expands renewable energy capacity, energy storage is expected to play a critical role in ensuring reliable, efficient, and sustainable electricity supply.
The Havells-Pixii partnership reflects the growing industry focus on developing locally manufactured energy storage solutions that can support India’s long-term energy security, decarbonization, and electrification goals.
