As the country rapidly scales up variable renewable energy (VRE), Standalone ESS offers a dispatchable solution to address the intermittency of renewables, support grid stability, and optimise energy usage. . According to the news released by Narada Power (300068) on June 28, the company recently signed an ESS order with a well-known large independent power generation operator in India, to supply a 1. 4 GWh energy storage system for a large-scale new energy PV project in India. This project is one of the. . Standalone Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are rapidly emerging as a key market, with 6. Tenders supported by Viability Gap Funding (VGF) demonstrate. . India has set a target to achieve 50% cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030 and has pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, based on 2005 levels. Traditional energy storage systems like Lithium-ion batteries are expensive, have safety concerns and depend on rare. . Energy storage will be central to enable reliable, large-scale adoption of renewables to support India's transition to a clean, secure, and resilient power system, the Economic Survey 2025–26 underlined. This means that BESS would be able to store 3530. .
