Solar and wind are expected to carry most of the load. India has committed to 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with 280 GW solar and 140 GW wind. Solar has expanded at an annual rate of 36.5 per cent over the past decade, supported by initiatives such as the Solar Parks Programme and rooftop solar schemes.
At the moment, India has roughly 95 GW of installed renewable electricity, with solar accounting for 40.5 GW of that total, which is dispersed throughout the nation. Adoption of renewable energy on a wide scale, particularly a strong push for solar energy, is critical for India's clean energy transition ambitions.
In 2030, solar plus BESS shows levelized cost estimates of INR 3.50/kWh, followed by pithead new coal power plant at INR 4.84/kWh and non-pithead new coal power plant at INR 5.88/kWh. Recall that pithead plants are located right at the mines and save on the associated transportation costs.
Rooftop solar has shown even stronger growth at 47% CAGR, with incentives making installations more affordable. Wind power has also seen steady expansion, with a total installed capacity of 45.9 GW by FY2024. Hydropower, both large and small-scale, continues to be a significant part of India’s energy mix.
Graph 1 shows the journey of solar PV plus BESS development in India, highlighting why 2024 has witnessed a rise of this combination of technologies in India’s battery storage journey. The use cases for such tenders have been peak management, diesel generator offset and overall renewable energy integration.
As part of India's ambitious solar initiative, the national government has established a $350 million fund, and Yes Bank will lend $5 billion to finance solar projects (c. January 2018). The bidding procedure for adding 115 GW to renewable energy levels in January 2018 was completed by the end of 2019–2020.
