Tata Power Secures 324 MW Hydro Storage Project; Govt Advances Energy Storage Initiatives
Tata Power has received a Letter of Award from the Solar Energy Corporation of India to supply 324 MW from its 1,000 MW Pumped Hydro Storage Project in Maharashtra, scheduled for commissioning by 2029. This project, part of a larger 1,500 MW pumped storage initiative, supports India's renewable energy integration by providing long-duration energy storage. Separately, the Central Electricity Authority highlights plans to commission 13,000-14,000 MW of hydropower by 2032-33, emphasizing faster approvals. Meanwhile, the government has eased norms and lowered subsidies in its latest battery storage tender under the production-linked incentive scheme to attract more players.
