Standalone Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are rapidly emerging as a key market, with 6.1 gigawatts of tenders issued in the first quarter of 2025 alone, accounting for 64% of the total
Explore the energy storage India market, key for balancing renewables. Discover policies, key players, challenges, and future outlook.
Some 11 bidders, mostly battery energy storage system (BESS) new entrants, secured projects ranging in scale from 50 MW/100 MWh to 200 MW/400 MWh.
Our analysis, based on implied solar and storage costs from these bids and bottom-up global cost estimates, shows that a solar-plus-storage system can deliver 24/7 clean power at over 95%
India''s BESS tender trajectory signals that we''ve crossed the tipping point. The market has shifted from if storage makes sense to how fast can we deploy it.
