Currently, the cost of battery-based energy storage in India is INR 10.18/kWh, as discovered in a SECI auction for 500 MW/1000 MWh BESS. The government has launched viability gap funding and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes to make battery storage affordable.
Battery prices have dropped to $55/kWh, prompting a potential surge in India's energy storage systems. With tariffs stabilizing and projected demand soaring, the future of energy storage in India looks promising.
India's push for clean energy is driving demand for battery storage systems. These three companies have secured orders and are emerging as key enablers of reliable, dispatchable green energy. Government support and growing demand have opened up a strong growth runway for players like Tata Power, Acme Solar, and Bondada Engineering. (Image/Canva)
BESS and pumped hydro storage projects are now the dominant energy storage options in India. ICRA said it expects the share of generation from renewable energy, including large hydro, to increase to around 40% of national generation by fiscal 2030, from less than 25% currently, driven by large capacity additions that are now underway.
By 2030, the LCOS for standalone BESS system would be Rs 4.1/kWh and that for co-located system would be Rs 3.8/kWh. This implies that adding diurnal flexibility to ~20-25% of the RE generation would cost an additional Rs 0.7-0.8/kWh by 2030. What is the value of energy storage in India? How would it be dispatched? How much storage is required?
Indian battery prices are still slightly higher at USD 70–80/kWh. Battery costs constitute over 50 per cent of BESS capital expenditure. The report states that viability gap funding (VGF) of up to 40 per cent, capped at ₹2.7 million/MWh, continues to play a critical role in ensuring tariff sustainability.
