India's Union Cabinet has approved a 92‑gigawatt‑hour grid‑scale energy storage scheme, a key step toward enhancing grid stability and integrating renewable power.
India’s Union Cabinet approved a 92‑gigawatt‑hour grid‑scale energy storage scheme during a meeting in New Delhi on Tuesday. The decision, taken by the cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is aimed at bolstering the national grid’s resilience and easing the integration of intermittent renewable sources. The scheme will deploy large‑scale batteries and other storage technologies across key transmission corridors. Experts say the project could reduce load‑shedding incidents and improve power quality. Implementation is expected to begin in 2025, with the first units operational by 2027.
