ANDRITZ Wins Major Contract from Torrent Power for 3,000 MW Pumped Storage Project in Maharashtra

ANDRITZ has been awarded a significant contract by Torrent Power to supply key electromechanical equipment for a 3,000 MW pumped storage project in Maharashtra, marking a major development in India’s energy storage landscape.

The Saidongar-1 Karjat pumped storage project, being developed by Torrent Energy Storage Solutions—a subsidiary of Torrent Power—is expected to become the largest facility of its kind in India upon completion, with a total installed capacity of 3,000 MW.

As part of the agreement, ANDRITZ will handle the complete scope of work, including design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of 10 reversible pump turbine units, along with motor-generators and related electromechanical systems. The project will primarily utilize ANDRITZ’s manufacturing capabilities in India, supported by its global engineering expertise. The contract value falls within the low three-digit million euro range and will be reflected in the company’s Q1 2026 order bookings.

Once operational, the facility is projected to generate approximately 6,241 GWh of electricity annually. It is also expected to significantly cut carbon emissions by around 4.55 million tons each year, which is comparable to taking nearly one million cars off the roads.

Torrent Power highlighted that the project represents a key milestone in its clean energy transition efforts and will play an important role in enabling reliable, round-the-clock renewable energy supply. The company noted that its partnership with ANDRITZ brings together strong technical expertise and large-scale project execution capabilities.

Currently, ANDRITZ is engaged in the development of seven pumped storage projects across India, reinforcing its growing presence in the country’s renewable energy infrastructure sector.
