India’s battery storage story rests on one striking number. About 1 GWh of renewable-linked storage was commissioned as of last fiscal. A domestic rating agency now expects 45–50 GWh over this fiscal and the next, based on bids won between FY24 and FY26 across nearly 100 developers. Industry analysis suggests demand is not the worry.
Storage-linked projects made up nearly 40% of auctioned capacity in FY26, up from about 5% in each of the two years before. The worry is price. The same analysis finds that about 12 GWh, or 21% of the pipeline under construction, has weak return potential because battery prices have hardened in 2026.
