Are energy storage systems the backbone of India's utility-scale ESS auctions?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 report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and JMK Research & Analytics.
Are ESS tenders a catalyst for India's ESS market?ESS tenders have evolved from round-the-clock and peak power to the current standalone tenders, the report notes. “These are the first large-scale battery energy storage standalone tenders of their kind in the country, and they could be a catalyst for the entire Indian ESS market,” says co-author Jyoti Gulia, Founder, JMK Research.
What happened to India's energy storage capacity?Indian authorities have cancelled 6.5 MW of energy storage capacity in the last three years. Tenders for more than 8 GW worth of projects have been delayed by more than a year. Meanwhile, the tariffs have fallen from over ₹14 lakh per megawatt (MW) per month to as low as nearly ₹2 lakh by 2024.
How much does a battery energy storage system cost in India?“In recent auctions, battery energy storage system tenders in Maharashtra and Rajasthan secured tariffs as low as Rs219,000-221,000 per megawatt (MW) a month (US$2,561-$2,586/MW/month), representing almost a 40% reduction compared with non-VGF projects with similar specifications,” he added.
Are NTPC and SECI tenders a good idea?The report finds that NTPC and SECI tenders, if well executed, will offer opportunities to spur domestic manufacturing of batteries, boost investor confidence and create new business opportunities in the short-to-medium term. The two tenders are a good indication of the scale expected in future ESS tenders.
How much energy does India need?The Central Electricity Authority predicts that India will need 27GW/108GWh of grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) and about 10.1GW of pumped hydro storage (PHS) to meet its target of 500GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 20
