What sectors does Growthifye cover?

We work across the clean-energy value chain — utility-scale solar and wind, battery energy storage (BESS), power transmission networks, and the green financing structures that fund them.

Do you handle both engineering and financing?

Yes. Our differentiator is combining engineering-led advisory and EPC with an in-house green financing and debt syndication desk, so technical and financial workstreams stay aligned all the way to financial close.

Can you support transmission and grid connection?

Absolutely. We engineer HV substations and transmission lines, run grid connection and evacuation studies, and manage the interface with utilities and grid operators.

What does green financing include?

Sustainability-linked loans, green debt, blended finance and non-recourse project finance — structured, syndicated and negotiated to secure competitive, long-tenor capital.

How do we start working with you?

Share your project or mandate through the contact form or WhatsApp. We'll set up a discovery call and outline a tailored engagement across advisory, engineering, EPC or financing.

RE & Energy Storage Advisory & Engineering

Upcoming capabilityLaunching soon — advisory available now

Pumped Hydro Storage (PHP)

Site-to-dispatch advisory for pumped hydro storage projects — an upcoming Growthifye capability.

Overview

Pumped hydro is India's gigawatt-scale answer to long-duration storage — and states are lining up allocations, tariffs and hybrid RE-PHP tenders. Winning these projects takes early clarity on site hydrology, head and reservoir geometry, E&M configuration and the dispatch economics that justify the civil capex.

As an upcoming capability, we are extending our storage-economics desk to on-river and off-river PHP: screening sites against topography and evacuation, building concept-level DPRs, and modelling pump-turbine dispatch against ToD arbitrage, RTC blending and ancillary-market revenue stacks.

Scope of work

Site screening & topography assessment

Reservoir, head & hydrology concept studies

E&M configuration & pump-turbine selection

Concept DPR & clearance roadmap

Dispatch & arbitrage revenue modelling
