Cummins India Limited Launches Battery Energy
This state-of-the-art energy storage solution is designed to support India''s clean energy transition and strengthen the reliability of
Current energy storage landscape in India India's energy storage sector is still emerging, but growth and planning are rapid. Today, pumped hydro storage provides most bulk storage (existing projects total only a few gigawatts and hundreds of megawatt-hours), while grid-scale batteries are just beginning to roll out.
With a significant increase in renewable energy generation capacity, it is imperative that storage facilities are developed to help India and the world transition to clean energy. With an annual tariff nearly 55% lower than the previous benchmark, the project sets a new standard for BESS affordability in India.
The impact is already visible, today nearly half of India's generation capacity is non-fossil. Renewables alone accounted for about 46% of total installed capacity by late 2024. Energy storage will be key to maintaining and growing this share of clean energy as India expands its solar and wind fleets. Current energy storage landscape in India
India's energy storage sector is still emerging, but growth and planning are rapid. Today, pumped hydro storage provides most bulk storage (existing projects total only a few gigawatts and hundreds of megawatt-hours), while grid-scale batteries are just beginning to roll out. Looking ahead, analyses see a big surge in storage needs.
