KEYNOTE

Date & Time
October 22, 2026 10:30 AM - 10:50 AM
TypeKeynote Address
With 254 GW of renewable energy capacity already installed, taking India past 50% non-fossil capacity in its overall power mix, the country will need nearly 230 GWh of energy storage by 2030 to ensure grid stability. We hear the views from a leading Ministerial figure of where India’s storage market is heading and what policy commitments underpin it.
India’s battery energy storage system (BESS) market is moving from aggressive tendering toward large-scale project execution, with increasing prioritisation towards grid integration, transmission readiness and long-term supply resilience.
So how have policy support centred by the Viability Gap Funding, Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) and state-level mandates helped establish storage as an accepted asset class?
