Government targets 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030, requiring 208 GWh of BESS for grid integration as per National Electricity Plan.
Existing BESS capacity is 798 MWh, with 35.8 GWh under construction across states, per state-wise data.
Policy measures include regulatory changes, VGF for 43 GWh BESS, and PLI for manufacturing to boost storage deployment.
