SPML Infra Limited has achieved international certification for its proprietary 104.4 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) pack. This certification, covering safety, performance, and transportation standards, marks a strategic shift for the company from traditional EPC services toward domestic technology development and system integration. With manufacturing facilities being established in Pune, the company is positioning itself to capture demand in India's growing renewable energy storage market.
SPML Infra Secures Certification for Proprietary Battery Pack
104.4 kWh battery pack capacity certified for international safety and performance standards.
Manufacturing and integration infrastructure for BESS currently under development in Pune, Maharashtra.
Reader Takeaway: Successful technology certification unlocks market entry for BESS, though commercial scale-up and order execution remain critical.
What just happened
SPML Infra Limited has successfully cleared rigorous international testing for its proprietary 104.4 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The battery pack is now compliant with major global safety and performance benchmarks, including UL9540A, IEC 62619, and IEC 63056, alongside UN38.3 standards for transportation. These certifications confirm the company’s ability to meet stringent requirements regarding thermal safety, functional reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Why this matters
This milestone is the first step in SPML Infra’s strategic pivot from being an EPC-focused player to an integrated provider of energy storage solutions. By developing indigenous technology, the company seeks to differentiate its offerings within India's rapidly expanding renewable energy sector. The certification is a mandatory gateway to participating in large-scale commercial grid-balancing and peak-load management projects.
The backstory
Historically recognized for its engineering and infrastructure project execution, SPML Infra is currently building a dedicated BESS manufacturing and integration hub in Pune. The management, led by Managing Director Abhinandan Sethi, aims to leverage the company’s existing project-delivery infrastructure to support the roll-out of these proprietary storage systems.
Risks to watch
While certification is a major technical hurdle cleared, the company must now successfully transition to commercial manufacturing at the Pune site. Shareholders should watch for the actual commissioning timeline of the facility and the conversion of this technological capability into actual order inflows from renewable energy developers and grid operators.
What to track next
The primary focus for investors should be the commissioning status of the Pune manufacturing plant and announcements of new BESS-related project contracts, which will signal the commercial viability of this new business vertical.
