Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has chosen international technology group Andritz to equip the new 1500MW Tarali pumped storage hydro project in India.
Under the deal, Andritz will supply pump turbines, motor generators and related electromechanical equipment for the plant, which is located in the Satara district of Maharashtra.
The value of the order will not be disclosed.
India is significantly expanding its pumped storage capacity to balance the increase of variable renewable energy from solar and wind in its energy mix. AGEL’s Tarali pumped storage plant is expected to make a major contribution to this expansion.
Andritz’s scope of supply for Tarali includes the design, manufacture, installation, testing, and commissioning of the pumped storage units along with associated auxiliaries.
The project will be executed using Andritz’s manufacturing facilities in India, supported by its global network.
This is the second contract awarded to Andritz by AGEL, following an order for the 500MW Chitravathi pumped storage plant in 2023.
Andritz said the repeat order underlines its strong position in the Indian hydropower market and its expertise in delivering pumped storage solutions.
The company is currently involved in the implementation of four new pumped storage plants in India.
