You applied for 50 MW grid connection.
Utility said 3-5 years. Maybe longer. Queue is full.
Your facility sits empty. Burning cash. Losing customers.
The grid bottleneck
New industrial connections face massive delays:
Application to Energization:
- Initial approval: 6-12 months
- Grid study: 8-18 months
- Infrastructure upgrade: 18-36 months
- Commissioning: 3-6 months
- Total: 3-6 years average
The Costs:
- Facility idle: ₹2-5 crore monthly
- Lost revenue: ₹50-200 crore annually
- Customer contracts cancelled
- Investor confidence destroyed
- Competitors move faster
One grid delay = business death.
Why utilities are slow
System Overload:
- Transmission capacity maxed out
- Substations at full load
- No upgrade budget allocated
- Approval processes bureaucratic
Queue Reality:
- 200+ applications ahead of you
- Each takes 2-4 years
- No priority for new facilities
- First-come basis only
Cost Uncertainty:
- Connection charges unknown upfront
- Infrastructure costs escalate
- Who pays for upgrades unclear
- Legal disputes common
The direct power alternative
Dedicated Solar + Battery Infrastructure
Not connected to utility grid. Independent power system built on-site or nearby.
Timeline:
- Site assessment: 1 week
- Financing approval: 3-4 weeks
- Construction: 4-5 months
- Commissioning: 2 weeks
- Total: 6 months to power
No utility approvals. No queue. No delays.

The connection reality
The grid queue moves at government speed. 3-6 years is normal. Your facility can't wait. Your customers won't wait. Your investors shouldn't wait.
Dedicated power moves at market speed. 6 months. Fixed timeline. Guaranteed delivery.
Your datacenter goes live 48 months earlier.
Your factory starts production 4 years sooner.
Your cold chain facility doesn't lose 5 years of contracts.
For 20+ MW facilities where grid connection delays kill the business case.
For datacenters that can't sit idle for 4 years.
For manufacturers who need power now, not eventually.
We build dedicated power infrastructure. Independent of utility grid. 6-month delivery. Zero queue.
Request a feasibility assessment—we'll show exactly how to bypass grid delays and energize your facility in 6 months with dedicated solar + battery power.
