Large-scale storage strengthens India’s path to round-the-clock renewable power.

ANDRITZ Wins Major Equipment Order for India’s Largest 3,000 MW Pumped Storage Project.

ANDRITZ has secured a significant contract to supply key electromechanical equipment for India’s largest pumped storage project being developed by Torrent Power in Maharashtra. The Saidongar-1 Karjat project will have a planned capacity of 3,000 MW and is expected to play a crucial role in balancing renewable energy in the grid. Under the order, ANDRITZ will deliver ten pump turbines, motor generators and associated systems, covering design, manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning. The contract, valued at a low three-digit million euros, will be booked in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026 and executed primarily through its India-based manufacturing facilities, supported by its global network. Once operational, the project is projected to generate 6,241 GWh of electricity annually and cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 4.55 million tonnes per year. ANDRITZ said it is currently engaged in seven pumped storage projects across India, reflecting rising investment in large-scale energy storage to support the clean energy transition.
