Why battery storage is becoming non-negotiable for renewable-rich grids in India
As renewable capacity rises, the question is no longer whether India can generate green power. The real challenge is whether the grid can absorb it smoothly and deliver it reliably when people actually need it. This is where battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly seen not as a luxury but as a core part of grid planning.
India could attract $4.1 trillion in green investments by 2047: CEEW
Around 92% of the required investments—about $3.79 trillion—would flow into the energy transition, spanning renewable energy, storage, clean mobility, and green hydrogen.
Efficient solar PV cooking with sand-based thermal energy storage
