CSPDCL seeks approval for Rs 2.98/kWh tariff on 125 MW/500 MWh Chhattisgarh BESS

SolarNews Brief

Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company is seeking regulator approval for a Rs 2.98/kWh tariff tied to a 125 MW/500 MWh battery energy storage project. The filing matters because Indian distribution utilities are beginning to procure storage as a grid asset rather than treating it only as a renewable add-on.

The CSPDCL petition asks the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission to approve tariff treatment for a four-hour battery energy storage system. At 125 MW/500 MWh, the project would add dispatchable capacity that can shift renewable energy and support peak-hour reliability. For India’s storage market, a state-level tariff approval at Rs 2.98/kWh would add another reference point for how BESS projects are being commercialized through regulated utility procurement.
