The project seeks to design and commercialise a modular, high-performance supercapacitor-based energy storage system capable of rapid charging and discharging. These systems are essential for pulse power, grid stabilisation, industrial automation, and field-deployable defence applications—areas where traditional battery technologies often fall short. The innovation will enhance energy resilience, reduce dependence on imports, and promote domestic manufacturing in advanced energy systems.
Founded by Mr Amit Kaul Bamzai and Dr Rohini Bhat, Westech Power Management Pvt Ltd has been developing high-power density cells and medium to high-voltage containerised supercapacitor systems through sustained in-house research. Early-stage support from the Naval Materials Research Laboratory (NMRL), under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), helped strengthen the company’s foundation in strategic, defence-oriented energy innovation.
Westech currently holds two granted patents — “A High-Capacity Supercapacitor Cell and Method Thereof” and “108 Volt Supercapacitor Module and Method Thereof” — along with five additional patents pending in electrode materials, pulse power banks, and scalable supercapacitor modules.
Commenting on the collaboration, Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, said: “This initiative reflects TDB’s mission to promote the development and commercialisation of indigenous technologies with national impact. Supercapacitor-based systems are a strategic domain for achieving India’s energy independence, merging scientific innovation with industrial and defence applications. Through such projects, TDB continues to advance India’s transformation from a technology importer to a technology developer and exporter.”
The promoters of Westech Power Management expressed appreciation for the support, stating: “TDB’s funding will accelerate our transition from laboratory-scale innovation to full-scale deployment. The project will showcase India’s strength in supercapacitor technology and help build a sustainable, self-reliant energy ecosystem.”
By enabling the commercialisation of indigenous supercapacitor technology, TDB reinforces its role in advancing Aatmanirbhar Bharat, supporting deep-tech entrepreneurship, and driving the Make in India initiative towards globally competitive, high-impact energy solutions.
