ANDRITZ secures major order from Tata Power for 1,000-MW Bhivpuri PSP
- March 17, 2026
ANDRITZ has received a significant order from Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, to supply pumped storage units for the upcoming 1,000 MW Bhivpuri pumped storage plant in Maharashtra.
The order, valued in the low three-digit million-euro range, will be booked in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026, a release by ANDRITZ said.
Under the contract, ANDRITZ will supply three state-of-the-art reversible pump turbines, motor-generators, and associated electromechanical equipment. The scope includes design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of the complete units. Execution will leverage ANDRITZ’s advanced manufacturing capabilities in India, supported by its global engineering and project delivery network.
The Bhivpuri pumped storage plant will play a critical role in supporting Maharashtra’s accelerating renewable energy expansion while strengthening grid reliability. As renewable capacity from solar and wind continues to grow, large-scale energy storage solutions such as pumped storage are essential to ensure system flexibility and round-the-clock power availability.
Pumped storage plants act as grid stabilizers, balancing supply and demand in real time and enabling higher integration of variable renewable energy. Once operational, the Bhivpuri project will significantly enhance grid stability and contribute to reliable, clean energy supply across the region.
The Bhivpuri project represents the first major pumped storage contract awarded by Tata Power to ANDRITZ, the release noted.
Seven PSPs underway in India
ANDRITZ is currently involved in the implementation of seven new pumped storage plants in India with a combined installed capacity of more than 11 GW, contributing significantly to the development of stable, low-carbon power infrastructure in one of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets. Projects such as Bhivpuri reflect ANDRITZ’s strategic focus on technologies that enable the green transition and support sustainable energy systems worldwide, the release said.
