The energy storage industry is becoming a vital pillar in the global transition to renewable energy, offering solutions to balance the intermittency of sources like wind and solar. Innovative technologies, from advanced batteries to thermal and hydrogen storage systems, are helping address challenges such as grid stability and power variability, driving the industry's rapid growth. Surge Supercapacitors, positioned as a leader in this space, is at the forefront of delivering high-power, sustainable energy storage solutions.
The company specializes in ultra-high-performance supercapacitors, utilizing bio-derived carbon and waste material-derived graphene to create efficient, fast-charging solutions for industries like defense, railways, and grid management, paving the way for a low-carbon, sustainable future.
Surge Supercapacitors, officially known as Westech Power Management Private Limited, is dedicated to developing advanced supercapacitors for peak power applications. “Unlike traditional batteries, which store small amounts of energy for extended periods, our supercapacitors are designed to deliver large bursts of energy in short intervals, making them ideal for industries requiring rapid power surges.
We specialize in niche markets where peak power generation is critical, focusing on applications that benefit from the unique capabilities of supercapacitors. In addition to advancing our technology, we are actively educating the sector, promoting replacing outdated power solutions with modern, efficient supercapacitor technology”, speaks Amit Bamzai, CEO, Surge Supercapacitors.
Innovating Sustainable Energy
Committed to delivering not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly energy solutions, the firm’s technology is entirely Net Zero, utilizing waste materials to produce supercapacitors, making it both sustainable and efficient. With a long cycle life and superior safety compared to lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors offer a reliable alternative.
Surge Supercapacitors' unique selling point lies in its ability to innovate at every stage, from cell-level production to megawatt-level energy storage structures. Few companies worldwide have the expertise to engineer and integrate cells into modules and then scale them into large ESS.
The firm specializes in custom-built energy solutions tailored to meet specific client needs. Its supercapacitors are designed based on power and balancing requirements, with a focus on high-power cells ranging from 500 to 3,400 Farads. “While we maintain a stock of standard cells, our unique value proposition is providing complete module solutions, not individual cells. Each module is custom-assembled to match client specifications, with a typical turnaround time of 15 to 30 days.
The manufacturing process involves multiple sub-assemblies, and the complexity of setting up our production facility in a country without precedence in this field posed initial challenges. However, we overcame these hurdles by designing and sourcing most machinery locally, only importing critical components”, adds Amit Bamzai.

Strategic Growth Initiatives
Surge Supercapacitors is actively working on three key fronts to shape its future growth. First, the firm is committed to continuous technological improvement, enhancing the reliability of its supercapacitors to meet a lifespan of 15-20 years or up to a million charge-discharge cycles. The company’s focus on developing innovative, niche products include integrating unique hybrid cell technologies with supercapacitors to potentially replace lead-acid batteries in ICE vehicles. Second, the firm is expanding into large-scale, high-power delivery projects for grid-scale applications, solidifying its position in energy storage.
The firm is assembling a strong, multidisciplinary team by recruiting experts in engineering, electronics, and electrical fields, alongside fresh graduates through internships and training programs. The in-house R&D lab is key to developing innovative solutions for power delivery, frequency regulation, and pulse power. Surge Supercapacitors is committed to providing customized solutions for diverse applications, addressing challenges that customers may not yet recognize can be solved with supercapacitors.
