Battery storage investment in India is expected to cross $1 billion in 2025; however, high financing costs remain a challenge, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
In India, however, despite the strong growth forecast, battery storage projects face difficulties due to high financing costs. These costs are nearly double compared to those in advanced economies, making it harder for such projects to achieve profitability.
The report noted that while battery storage investment continues to rise globally, challenges remain, particularly in developing economies like India, where high financing costs are still a major hurdle.
Battery storage investment in India stands out, and is expected to surpass $1 billion in 2025." The report also shared that globally, investment in battery storage grew by 45 per cent in 2024 compared to the previous year.
IEA says, while global investment in battery storage is on a strong upward path, emerging economies like India must address financing barriers to fully realize their potential in the battery storage market. What are your thoughts?
The United States, Europe, and China remained the largest contributors, accounting for more than 90 per cent of total global investment in the sector. In India, however, despite the strong growth forecast, battery storage projects face difficulties due to high financing costs.
