Technical FAQs 4

How much battery energy storage capacity is available in India?

Between 2022 and May 2025, India auctioned approximately 12.8GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity for both hybrid and standalone applications. However, only about 219MWh of BESS capacity is reported to be operational, leaving a large pipeline of projects under construction.

Will India achieve a 365 GW PV generation capacity by 2023?

According to the National Energy Plan (NEP) 2023, India aims to achieve a PV installed capacity of 186 GW by 2026-2027 and to reach 365 GW by 2032. Such a vast PV generation capacity will require corresponding energy storage systems to maintain grid stability, making storage technology a crucial element in the current energy transition.

Which energy storage technology is included in India's national electricity plan?

Electrochemical energy storage technology, represented by Li-ion battery, is included in India’s National Electricity Plan for 2022-2032. By the fiscal year of 2031-2032, electrochemical storage will surpass PSH, making it the dominant energy storage technology.

How is India advancing energy storage solutions?

At the heart of this momentum is the strategic push by the Government of India and various state authorities, backed by institutions like SECI, NTPC, and SJVN, to advance energy storage solutions. A landmark initiative includes the approval of Viability Gap Funding for 13,200 MWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030-31.
