View Details6.11.1. India's surge in energy demand and rapid shift towards renewable energy sources offers opportunities for emerging Energy Storage System (ESS) technologies. Domestic innovation and manufacturing of ESS technologies can stimulate job creation, economic growth, and position India as a global leader in sustainable and low-carbon energy systems.
Roadmap is presented below:As an outcome of this detailed study we have prepared an Energy Storage System (ESS) Roadmap for India for the period 2019-2032 that will help policy makers and utilities in decision making related to investments in energy storage for integration of renewable energy leading to a reliable
India's energy storage framework incorporates several key policies to drive early adoption and growth. The Ministry of Power's Energy Storage Obligations (ESO) require utilities to progressively increase storage to 4% of electricity demand by 2030 (equivalent to 200– 250 GWh), a critical step for grid stability as renewable capacity expands.
India. Specifically, recent auction results for storage have been record-breaking: the latest tender for standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) with two hours' duration in April 2025 saw a winning bid of 2.8-2.85 lacs/MW/month, without any subsidy like the Viability Gap Funding
