India aims to reach a battery energy storage capacity of 74 GW and 50 GW of pumped hydro by 2032, as part of its green energy goals. With its sharp analysis and data-driven approach, it maps out practical, aordable ways to roll out storage, highlights priority areas, and explores how dierent technologies can work for us. I commend the India Energy and Climate Centre and the Power Foundation of India for this thoughtful. India has set a target to achieve 50% cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030 and has pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, based on 2005 levels. A cornerstone of this transition is the deployment of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) like Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS), which are indispensable for integrating renewable e ergy sources.
