India''s ambitious clean energy transition demands a parallel development in energy storage infrastructure, with Standalone Energy Storage Systems (Standalone ESS)
India''s goal to reduce carbon intensity by 45% and achieve 50% renewable energy capacity by 2030 necessitates significant energy storage systems (ESS) to stabilize
Standalone Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are becoming the backbone of India''s utility-scale ESS auctions, accounting for 64% of the total tenders issued between January and March 2025 alone, according to a new
Specifically, recent auction results for storage have been record-breaking: the latest tender for standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) with two hours'' duration in April 2025 saw a winning bid of 2.8-2.85 lacs/MW/month,
Currently, the cost of battery-based energy storage in India is INR 10.18/kWh, as discovered in a SECI auction for 500 MW/1000 MWh BESS. The government has launched viability gap funding and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes to make battery storage affordable.
Standalone energy storage system (ESS) projects in India are gaining more attention as they account for 64% of the total tenders issued in Q1.
Battery energy storage system based on low-cost lithium-ion batteries can enable India to meet the morning and evening peak demands. The Government of India (GoI) has set a target of achieving 175 GW of renewable power installed capacity by December 2022.
The report further states that the additional per-unit cost for a solar project with a storage system in India will be ₹1.44/kWh ($0.02/kWh) in 2020, ₹1.02 ($0.014)/kWh in 2025, and ₹0.83 ($0.01)/kWh in 2030.
Our bottom-up estimates of total capital cost for a 1-MW/4-MWh standalone battery system in India are $203/kWh in 2020, $134/kWh in 2025, and $103/kWh in 2030 (all in 2018 real dollars). When co-located with PV, the storage capital cost would be lower: $187/kWh in 2020, $122/kWh in 2025, and $92/kWh in 2030.
An increasing number of battery storage projects are being built worldwide, and there is significant interest in storage among Indian utilities and policymakers. However, detailed India-specific cost benchmarks that could help utilities design solicitations and assess costs and benefits have been unavailable.
