India’s first commercial regulated utility-scale battery storage project has gone into operation, and a new partnership claims it will establish local manufacturing in the country this year.

Indian multinational conglomerate Reliance Industries is on track to open solar and battery storage production facilities by the end of this year and next, respectively.

Ambri, the MIT-spinoff commercialising a liquid metal battery for stationary storage applications, looks set for a fresh start.

Liquid metal battery company Ambri is to deliver a pilot system to Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries, which invested in the company last year.
