India's Ambitious Energy Storage Goals at India Energy Storage Week 2025
Key Ideas
  • India aims for a battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity of 74 GW by 2031-32, a significant increase from the current 205 MW.
  • The country targets to achieve 50% of total generation capacity from renewable energy sources by the end of the year, emphasizing the need for energy storage to ensure stability in the grid and reliable clean energy.
  • Government initiatives include a green hydrogen mission with substantial funding to produce 10 million metric tons of green hydrogen and establish an electrolyzer capacity of 60 to 100 gigawatts.
  • The event showcases over 300 product innovations in various energy sectors, with expectations of new announcements and developments, indicating a positive momentum in India's energy transition.
In New Delhi, at the India Energy Storage Week 2025, Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar revealed India's ambitious plans to increase its battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity to 74 GW by 2031-32, a significant leap from the current 205 MW. The country is on track to achieve 50% of its total generation capacity from renewable sources by the end of the year, stressing the importance of energy storage for grid stability and reliable clean energy. Moreover, India is actively promoting a green hydrogen mission with substantial financial backing to enhance energy independence and reduce oil dependency. The event, organized by the Indian Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), highlighted the industry's growth and featured key officials and leaders. Ghanshyam Prasad from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) discussed the projected growth in capacity, emphasizing the need to ramp up BESS capacity to meet future demands. The event showcased numerous product innovations in electric vehicles, solar energy, green hydrogen, and battery technologies, indicating a positive trend in India's energy sector transition. With government targets focusing on renewable energy and energy storage, India is poised to make significant strides in sustainable energy generation and reduce its carbon footprint. The emphasis on green initiatives like green hydrogen underscores India's commitment to cleaner energy solutions and a more sustainable future.
