Commercial & Industrial Battery Energy Storage

Storage is the site-specific future of your energy needs. We're the experts who design it right.

AXON BESS designs behind-the-meter battery systems for Indian commercial & industrial users — stacking savings across diesel replacement, peak shaving, solar augmentation and time-of-day arbitrage.

The C&I Energy Squeeze

Five costs solar alone can't fix.

You backed India's clean-energy transition — and then the rules changed. Net-metering was cut, new grid charges appeared, demand charges climbed, and peak tariffs got steeper. Storage is how you take back control — behind the meter.

01
High & rising grid tariffs
HT peak slots run up to ₹15–23/kWh across multiple states. And they keep rising.
Up to ₹23/kWh
02
Punishing demand charges
Fixed ₹300–700+/kVA every month, whether or not you use the load. CEA proposes sharp rises ahead.
₹300–700+/kVA/month
03
Expensive diesel backup
Power cuts force DG sets to run at ₹25–35/kWh all-in — a permanent drag on every P&L.
₹25–35/kWh all-in
04
Wasted solar generation
Net-metering caps and banking limits increasingly strand your rooftop output — turning a capital investment into idle capacity. Your solar plant is producing energy you cannot use or sell.
05
Time-of-day tariff spreads
₹3–8/kWh peak/off-peak gaps are a structural arbitrage opportunity that solar alone cannot capture. Every day you pay peak-slot prices unnecessarily.
₹3–8/kWh spread

The AXON Value Stack

One battery. Four ways it pays you back.

AXON sizes one system to capture four savings streams simultaneously — which is what makes the economics work.

01 — DG REPLACEMENT
Retire the diesel drag.
Replace your DG consumption with BESS for cleaner energy and significant savings.
₹20–30/kWh
Net saving · 25–40% of energy
02 — Peak Shaving
Optimize the demand charges.
Shave the top 5–10% of demand events to reduce contracted MDI.
₹40–80/kWh eq.
Equivalent value · 5–10% of energy
03 — TOD ARBITRAGE
Buy cheap. Use at peak.
Discharge during high-tariff slots, recharge from solar or cheap off-peak grid.
₹3–5/kWh net
Captured spread · 55–70% of energy
04 — SOLAR ++
Stop wasting solar you already paid for.
Store surplus solar instead OR add new rooftop to charge the battery cheaply.
₹4–5/kWh stored
Cheapest charging source

CASE STUDY · COIMBATORE, INDIA
Solar + BESS at industrial scale.
For a large component manufacturer, AXON modelled a solar-charged BESS stacking diesel replacement, peak shaving and ToD arbitrage against 12 months of real consumption and DG-log data. Every number came from their own bills — not an industry average.

Financing

Buy, lease or sign a PPA.

Three routes to a BESS, structured around your balance sheet — backed by lender relationships and accelerated-depreciation tax benefits.

A · Customer CapEx
Self-fund or term loan.
SBI, SIDBI, HDFC and others. You own the asset, claim accelerated depreciation, keep 100% of savings.
Best returns
B · Operating Lease
Off-balance-sheet.
Typically 5–8 years. Predictable monthly payments, minimal upfront capital, ownership option at end of term.
Low capex
C · PPA / RESCO
Zero capex.
AXON or a RESCO partner owns and operates over a 20–25 year PPA. You simply pay for cheaper energy from day one.

Is BESS right for your business?

If your facility pays more than ₹10,00,000/month in electricity, you can likely save using BESS.
