Tata Power Renewable Energy secures 120 MWh battery energy storage deal with NHPC in Kerala
Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed its first Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA) with NHPC Limited to set up a 30 MW / 120 MWh battery storage system at a 220 kV substation in Kerala. The project was secured through competitive bidding under NHPC's BESS Tranche-I tender and will serve the Kerala State Electricity Board Limited.
The battery energy storage system will help address peak power demand, improve grid flexibility, and enable better integration of renewable energy in Kerala. This initiative is part of NHPC's broader plan to develop 125 MW / 500 MWh of standalone battery storage capacity in the state under a Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding framework supported by Viability Gap Funding.
The project, aligned with India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, will operate under a 12-year BESPA and is expected to be commissioned within 15 months.
This marks TPREL's debut in the standalone battery storage segment, further strengthening its renewable energy portfolio, which now stands at approximately 10.9 GW, including 5.6 GW operational capacity and 5.3 GW under development.
The company already operates a 100 MW solar plant integrated with a 120 MWh battery storage system in Chhattisgarh.
Tata Power, with a total portfolio of 15.7 GW spanning generation, transmission, distribution, and storage, continues to spearhead India's clean energy transition with a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality before 2045.

Mukesh Ambani'S JioStar business earns more in Q1 FY26 than BCCI's entire FY25
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 19, 2025, 15:30 IST Mukesh Ambani-led JioStar business — the joint venture between Reliance Industries and Walt Disney's India media operations — posted a revenue of ₹11,222 crore in the first quarter of FY26, surpassing the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) entire income for FY25. BCCI, as per its audited annual report, earned ₹9,741.71 crore in the full financial year FY25, with the Indian Premier League (IPL) contributing ₹5,761 crore to its coffers. Other streams of income for BCCI included ₹1,042 crore from ICC distributions, ₹813 crore from media rights, ₹377 crore from the Women's Premier League (WPL), ₹361 crore from men's international matches, and about ₹986 crore as interest income. In contrast, JioStar generated ₹11,222 crore in just the April–June 2025 quarter, with the IPL 2025 season being the biggest growth driver for its business. The company also posted an EBITDA of ₹1,017 crore, with its digital platform JioHotstar achieving a subscriber base of 287 million during the IPL and reaching over 800 million viewers on TV. According to Reliance Industries, IPL 2025 delivered record-breaking viewership with 1.19 billion viewers across TV and JioHotstar. The merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar into JioHotstar earlier this year allowed JioStar to consolidate its dominance in both OTT and linear television. On the linear TV front, Star Plus retained its leadership in the Hindi general entertainment category, while regional channels like Star Pravah, Star Jalsha, and Asianet also held top positions in their respective markets. The figures highlight how the IPL has evolved into a lucrative property not just for the BCCI but even more so for broadcasters and streaming platforms. With its quarterly revenue already exceeding BCCI's full-year income, JioStar has solidified its position at the center of India's sports and entertainment economy.
