Tesla is planning to enter India’s industrial energy storage sector, according to a recent job posting on its website, putting it in competition with ventures led by Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani as the country’s power grid increasingly shifts toward cleaner energy.
This move represents Tesla’s expansion in India beyond electric vehicles, which it began selling in the country in August. The company already operates its Megapack business in the US and other markets, supplying industrial and utility-scale energy storage solutions.
The job listing seeks a business development lead in India to “develop and execute a comprehensive market expansion strategy for industrial energy storage solutions” and shape Tesla’s entry into “utility-scale energy storage,” though the posting did not provide further details. Tesla has not publicly commented on the plan.
Reliance Industries and the Adani Group also have ambitious initiatives in India’s energy storage market. The country aims to reach 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030, up from more than 262 GW at the end of 2025. Achieving this goal will require energy storage systems to stabilize the grid, store power during off-peak hours, and reduce carbon emissions.
The Indian government is encouraging investment in storage solutions through fiscal incentives and is developing a national roadmap to help companies meet these targets.
