The project is located in the Kafuda Solar Park in Gujarat, which is planned to have a total installed capacity of 30 GW and aims to become the world's largest renewable energy hub by 2029. The project is expected to be completed and operational by 2027, featuring a non-containerized flow battery architecture developed in-house by Delectrik specifically for large-scale energy storage applications.

All components of the energy storage system are 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured locally in India, while also enabling the company to extend its upstream supply chain integration. To this end, Delectrik has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Delectrik Resources, focused on vanadium oxide production, with long-term plans to expand into vanadium ore beneficiation and even acquire vanadium mineral assets. Meanwhile, its Delectrik Esaas division provides energy storage-as-a-service solutions to commercial and industrial clients such as data centers.

As a transforming energy giant, NTPC is accelerating its transition from a traditional coal-based power generator to an integrated clean energy operator, aiming to increase its renewable energy capacity to 60 GW by 2032. As early as 2025, NTPC had already deployed a 3 MWh all-vanadium redox flow battery demonstration system in Greater Noida, laying down valuable engineering experience that supports the current 100 MWh project.

With numerous large-scale wind and solar projects rapidly being planned and implemented across South Asia, grid-side demand for long-duration storage systems lasting six hours or more is surging. All-vanadium redox flow batteries stand out due to their excellent safety performance, cycle life exceeding 20,000 cycles, and flexible capacity scalability, steadily increasing their market share in South Asia’s long-duration storage sector. Delectrik has set a business target to secure at least 1 GWh of flow battery orders over the next 12 months across markets including India, Australia, ASEAN, and Africa.

Previously, the South Asian energy storage market heavily relied on imported core components. This project marks a turning point by promoting simultaneous development of local equipment and upstream vanadium material industries, signaling that the region’s vanadium-based energy storage sector is moving beyond individual project implementation into a new phase of full industrial chain cultivation. As domestic production scales up, construction costs for regional vanadium storage projects are expected to decline further, with potential spillover effects into overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, unlocking significant new growth opportunities for the global vanadium industry.
