India storage requirement projected to reach 888 GWh by 2035-36

SolarNews Brief

A new India Energy Storage Alliance and Customised Energy Solutions review projects India will need 888 GWh of energy storage by 2035-36. The report frames storage financing, tender design and risk allocation as decisive issues for keeping renewable integration on track.

The report projects 888 GWh of cumulative storage needs by 2035-36, including 321 GWh of battery energy storage and 567 GWh of pumped storage. Down To Earth reports that operational BESS capacity rose from 0.78 GWh in December 2025 to 8.7 GWh by June 2026, with 281 GWh of storage tenders floated since 2018. The scale matters because India's solar growth, peak demand and grid flexibility needs are now moving storage from a pilot market into core infrastructure.
