Harsh Shah, Managing Director, IndiGrid, said, “Battery Energy Storage Systems are central to the future of energy in India. They bridge the intermittency of renewables, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and unlock flexible, reliable power delivery.
Each state will receive VGF assistance of INR 27 lakh/MWh to support the deployment of energy storage projects, which are expected to stabilize the grid and support the growing share of renewable energy in their power mix.
The capacity has been raised from 4,000 MWh to 13,200 MWh by 2027-28, aligning with India's broader goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), India requires 37 GWh of BESS capacity by 2027 and 236 GWh by 2031-32. So far, 13.2 GWh of BESS capacity has been approved under the ongoing VGF scheme. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.
It owns 43 power projects, consisting of 53 transmission lines with more than ~9,336 ckms length, 16 substations with ~25,050 MVA transformation capacity, ~1.15 GWAC (~1.5 GWp) of solar generation capacity, and 450 MW / 900 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems. IndiGrid has assets under management (AUM) of over ~₹ 319 billion (~USD 3.7 billion).
Under the scheme, subsidies will be disbursed in five tranches: 10 percent at financial closure, 45 percent upon commissioning, and 15 percent annually over the next three years post-commissioning. This structured financial support is expected to drive private sector participation and accelerate battery storage adoption across the country.
