India's battery storage need to reach 888 GWh by 2035-36
India's need for battery energy storage is about to explode, from just one GWh now to an estimated 888 GWh by 2035-36, according to a new report from the India Energy Storage Alliance and Customized Energy Solutions.
The study points out that energy storage isn't just a tech upgrade; it's essential for keeping the power grid stable and hitting India's renewable energy targets.
India's BESS capacity jumps over tenfold
The report highlights how quickly things are moving: BESS capacity has jumped more than tenfold in six months, thanks in part to a flood of new government tenders.
Lithium-ion battery manufacturing is also ramping up, with production set to grow from 2 GWh today to a bold target of 110 GWh by 2030.
Still, the report underscores global supply chain volatility and rising battery prices.
