Mahindra Susten has won an auction for a 20 MW solar project integrated with 28 MWh of battery storage capacity on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the first utility-scale storage project in India. Mahindra won with a bid of INR2.99bn ($46m). Such issues were also witnessed in earlier SECI tenders, where bidders were struggling to interpret technical requirements. The project, which is being developed by Mahindra Power India (MPI) at its new plant near Port Blair on the island chain, will be able to store up to 30 days worth of energy from renewable sources
