Maharashtra has tendered a 59 MW floating solar project paired with 59 MWh of battery energy storage — a small hybrid call combining generation and on-site storage. Reported by Mercom India on 8 July 2026, it sits alongside the state's much larger 4 GWh battery tender and is open at the bidding stage.

What it means

This is a generation-plus-storage hybrid, not standalone BESS: 59 MW of floating solar with 59 MWh of batteries to firm output and push a portion past sunset. It is a smaller counterpart to Maharashtra’s headline 4 GWh battery tender, showing the state pairing storage with new renewables as well as procuring it on its own — the pattern behind solar-plus-storage solutions.

As of this briefing the tender is open at the bidding stage.
