March 20, 2025: Narada Power said on March 13 it had won a bid to supply VRLA batteries with a contract value of Rmb330 million ($46 million) to China Tower.

Details of the contract were not disclosed, but Narada said its lead battery tech will be used in backup power projects and builds on the firm’s longstanding business relationship with the China-based telecoms giant.

Last year, Narada delivered a total of Rmb1 billion of batteries for China Tower’s industrial energy storage and battery swapping projects. 

Narada said its own technological expertise and increased market share in the energy storage sector had grown alongside the telecoms group’s expansion and investment in 5G communications tech projects.

The battery manufacturer has also delivered lithium iron phosphate battery storage systems to China Tower.

Separately, Narada also confirmed on March 13 that it had secured a Rmb1.2 billion deal to supply lithium batteries for a US datacenter for a leading global software firm, although it did not reveal details.

Last October, Narada announced it had signed a procurement contract with a Western Australian energy storage project company to supply lithium battery energy storage systems.

The project, located in Queensland, is valued at approximately Rmb160 million and will use Narada’s Center L Plus Liquid Cooling energy storage system.
