Panel: From Award to Grid: Making India’s Storage Pipeline Deliver
Date & Time
October 22, 2026 11:35 AM - 12:20 PM
TypePanel
India’s energy storage deployment ambitions are well intentioned. However, an end-to-end value chain that can translate all of that into commissioned megawatt-hours at the pace the grid requires still seems relatively undeveloped.
So what does a successfully synchronised project look like? Which projects in the current pipeline have managed to coordinate land, equipment, finance, grid connection and offtake simultaneously? And what did they do differently from the majority that are stalled?
India’s policy initiatives have helped shape how energy storage is procured financed, and delivered across the country. How have these policies – from Viability Gap Funding through to Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) contracting, Energy Storage Obligation, amongst others – harmonised how energy is produced and then transacted right across the country?
