Advait targets Q4 FY27 for 400,000-sq-ft Gujarat factory

Advait Energy Transitions Limited plans to make Phase 1 of its 400,000-sq-ft Gangad, Gujarat manufacturing facility operational in Q4 FY27. The first phase is listed with 2.5 GW of battery energy storage system manufacturing, 12,000 km of high-ampacity conductors and 360 emergency restoration system towers; Phase 2 lists 300 MW of electrolyser capacity.

What will Advait manufacture at the Gangad facility?

Advait will use the Gangad facility for high-ampacity conductors, battery energy storage systems, electrolysers, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells and selected transmission products. Phase 1 lists 2.5 GW of battery energy storage system, or BESS, manufacturing capacity, 12,000 km of high-ampacity conductors, or HAC, and 360 emergency restoration system, or ERS, towers. It also includes optical ground wire, or OPGW, stringing tools and tower-erection crane equipment.

Phase 2 is designated for 300 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity. Advait's presentation describes the Phase 1 BESS figure in GW rather than gigawatt-hours, or GWh, so it does not disclose an energy-storage capacity in GWh. It also does not state output capacity for the planned proton-exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel-cell facility, stringing tools, OPGW or tower-erection equipment at Gangad.

The product mix joins Advait's power transmission solutions, or PTS, business with its new and renewable energy, or NRE, activities. HAC is listed as an upcoming PTS product, while BESS, electrolyser and fuel-cell manufacturing are included in NRE. The facility is therefore planned as a multi-product manufacturing base rather than as a standalone battery plant.

How does the Gangad facility compare with Advait's existing plants?

Advait's Gangad site is listed at 400,000 sq ft, compared with 84,000 sq ft for Unit 1 in Kadi, Gujarat, and 14,200 sq ft for Unit 2 in Kadi. Phase 1 at Gangad is targeted for Q4 FY27, while Unit 1 started in 2017 and Unit 2 started in 2026. The company says the new site is being developed to consolidate PTS and NRE manufacturing operations.

Unit 1 manufactures aluminium conductor steel, or ACS, OPGW, stringing tools and ERS. Its annual OPGW capacity is stated as 7,000 km, with expansion to 10,000 km, alongside more than 300 ERS towers. Unit 2 is a 30 MW semi-assembly alkaline-electrolyser facility, whereas Gangad's planned Phase 2 electrolyser capacity is 300 MW.

The change is in both scale and product scope. The Kadi facilities cover established transmission products and semi-assembled alkaline electrolysers, while Gangad is planned to add BESS, HAC and PEM fuel cells and expand OPGW, ERS and stringing-tool capacity. Advait does not disclose project cost, funding, individual production volumes or utilisation assumptions for the Gangad lines.

When is the Gangad factory expected to start operations?

Advait says Phase 1 of the Gangad facility is to be operational in Q4 FY27. The presentation provides no specific date within that quarter and does not give an operating target for Phase 2. The 300 MW electrolyser line is listed under Phase 2 without a disclosed commissioning schedule.

The Q4 FY27 target follows developments listed for 2026. Advait says it was setting up an integrated giga-factory for HAC, BESS, electrolysers and fuel cells while expanding ERS and stringing-tool capacity. It also says it newly set up the 30 MW semi-assembly electrolyser facility, which is shown as Unit 2 at Kadi.

Advait's manufacturing development predates the Gangad plan. In 2017, it started original equipment manufacturing of stringing tools and formed a joint venture with TG, China for OPGW and OPPC manufacturing. In 2022, it established manufacturing divisions for ACS, ERS, OPGW and joint boxes, before adding the planned 2.5 GW BESS and PEM fuel-cell lines at Gangad.

Why is Advait combining transmission and renewable-energy production?

Advait says the 400,000-sq-ft facility will consolidate PTS and NRE manufacturing in one scalable base. Its PTS manufacturing portfolio includes ACS wires, OPGW, stringing tools, ERS and upcoming HAC. Its NRE plans include battery-pack solutions, electrolysers and upcoming fuel-cell manufacturing.

The company identifies existing transmission capabilities alongside the new manufacturing plan. Advait reports more than 25,000 km of live-line OPGW installation, covering 66 kilovolts, or kV, to 765 kV lines, and more than 20 installation gangs and tool sets. Its OPGW manufacturing capabilities span 24-fibre to 144-fibre products for 66 kV to 765 kV applications.

ERS is another existing transmission product slated for expansion at Gangad. Advait describes its indigenous aluminium-alloy ERS as a modular bypass-tower system for 33 kV to 800 kV lines that can restore power in two to three days after a tower failure. The Gangad Phase 1 list includes 360 ERS towers, compared with more than 300 towers for Unit 1.

What do Advait's current financial and order figures show?

Advait reported consolidated revenue of Rs 715 crore in FY26, up from Rs 399 crore in FY25, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, or EBITDA, margin declined to 13.60% from 14.80%. In H1 FY27, it reported revenue of Rs 400 crore and an EBITDA margin of 14.17%.

The company lists an order book of Rs 1,574.8 crore as of 30 September 2026. The presentation does not assign any portion of this order book to Gangad's planned BESS, HAC, PEM fuel-cell or electrolyser manufacturing lines. It also does not disclose customer commitments or order volumes for the 2.5 GW BESS capacity.

The planned 300 MW Phase 2 electrolyser capacity is ten times the 30 MW semi-assembly alkaline-electrolyser capacity stated for Unit 2. This is a comparison of stated manufacturing capacities, not annual production or sales. Advait does not specify the technology, annual output or operating relationship between the existing 30 MW facility and the proposed 300 MW Phase 2 line.

Conclusion

Advait's Gangad project combines a larger manufacturing footprint with products across transmission and renewable-energy segments. The 400,000-sq-ft site is planned to add 2.5 GW of BESS manufacturing, 12,000 km of HAC capacity and 360 ERS towers in Phase 1, while its Phase 2 plan lists 300 MW of electrolyser capacity.

The next disclosed milestone is Phase 1 becoming operational in Q4 FY27. What remains unresolved in the presentation is the exact commissioning date, the timing of Phase 2, the capacity metric and output specifications for the BESS line, and the production details for the PEM fuel-cell facility.
