What did India's battery energy storage systems do in July 2025?

India’s Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector witnessed notable developments in July 2025, marked by key policy advancements, project awards, and the release of new tenders. These milestones reflect the country’s growing focus on energy storage as a critical enabler of renewable energy integration and grid stability.

Which energy storage system is most popular in India?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (PV + BESS) comprised 90.6% of the total installed capacity. “India is an emerging market for energy storage, still in the early stages of development.

Why should India invest in a Bess storage facility?

With a significant increase in renewable energy generation capacity, it is imperative that storage facilities are developed to help India and the world transition to clean energy. With an annual tariff nearly 55% lower than the previous benchmark, the project sets a new standard for BESS affordability in India.

What is the share of hybrid energy tender capacity in India?

With a rise in preference for firm renewable energy, the share of hybrid tendered capacity has increased from about 12% in 2021 to over 49% in 2024 in the overall renewable energy tenders. Between 2022 and May 2025, India auctioned approximately 12.8GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity for both hybrid and standalone applications.
