India launches tender for 10 GWh battery cell manufacturing capacity…

India's Ministry of Heavy Industries has launched a global tender for 10 GWh of advanced chemistry cell (ACC) manufacturing capacity dedicated to grid-scale energy storage under its production-linked incentive scheme, with bids due 13 October 2026. This represents the final tranche of India's 50 GWh domestic battery manufacturing target, explicitly reserved for stationary storage as renewable deployment accelerates. If you make battery cells, power electronics, or thermal management systems for stationary storage, India just opened a 10 GWh contract with guaranteed incentives - and the tender closes 13 October. The 25-40% domestic value-add requirement means the winner will need to buy components locally, which is your customer list.
