The status of pumped storage projects in India Energy storage is critical towards ensuring grid reliability, security, and cost optimisation given India's growing share of renewable energy in its power purchase mix.
In February, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) commissioned India's largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), powered by solar energy.
At the heart of this momentum is the strategic push by the Government of India and various state authorities, backed by institutions like SECI, NTPC, and SJVN, to advance energy storage solutions. A landmark initiative includes the approval of Viability Gap Funding for 13,200 MWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030-31.
India's energy storage requirement, which is projected to be 60.6 GW/341.2 GWh by 20302, can either be met by Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) or Pumped Storage Projects (PSP). In the FY 2024-25 union budget speech, the finance minister signalled that an energy storage policy would be issued to promote the construction of PSPs in the country3.
The Stationary Energy Storage India (SESI) 2025 conference brought together 200+ global leaders, signaling robust policy, investment, and innovation momentum. With national and international collaboration, India is positioning itself not only as a leader in renewable energy deployment but also as a major force in energy storage innovation.
