India''s energy storage projects installation to surge 10-fold
India''s battery energy storage capacity is set to rise nearly ten-fold to around 5 GWh in 2026 from 507 MWh in 2025, reflecting a shift from tendering to execution of projects.

It has 9.4GW of energy storage to its name with more than 225 energy storage projects scattered across the globe, operating in 47 markets. It also operates 24.1GW of AI-optimised renewables and storage, applied in some of the most demanding industrial applications.
Energy storage solutions for electricity generation include pumped-hydro storage, batteries, flywheels, compressed-air energy storage, hydrogen storage and thermal energy storage components. The ability to store energy can facilitate the integration of clean energy and renewable energy into power grids and real-world, everyday use.
Energy storage is the capturing and holding of energy in reserve for later use. Energy storage solutions for electricity generation include pumped-hydro storage, batteries, flywheels, compressed-air energy storage, hydrogen storage and thermal energy storage components.
Depending on how energy is stored, storage technologies can be broadly divided into the following three categories: thermal, electrical and hydrogen (ammonia). The electrical category is further divided into electrochemical, mechanical and electromagnetic (Figure 2).
