India Expands Energy Storage Capacity Amid Battery Manufacturing Challenges
India is advancing its energy storage capacity to support renewable power and meet rising electricity demand, with government schemes totaling nearly ₹24,000 crore aimed at boosting storage and grid stability. Despite these efforts, domestic battery cell manufacturing remains limited, with most capacity focused on assembly, leading to increased imports, especially from China. Growing sectors like electric vehicles and green hydrogen heighten the need for reliable storage, while states like Gujarat are emerging as key manufacturing hubs.
