India Plans Over Rs 4 Lakh Crore Investment to Expand Energy Storage by FY32
India's transition to renewable energy is driving a significant increase in energy storage needs, with investments estimated at over Rs 4 lakh crore by FY32 to expand storage capacity from 54 GWh to 411 GWh. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Pumped Storage Plants are key technologies supporting this shift. Reports highlight a surge in BESS deployment, with 45-50 GWh capacity expected over the next two years, driven by government policies and rising renewable energy share, which currently accounts for 39-50% of installed capacity but less actual generation.
