India is projected to commission 45 to 50 GWh of battery energy storage system capacity in fiscal years 2027 and 2028, a significant increase from about 1 GWh by fiscal 2026, driven by government-led auctions and renewable integration policies. However, about 8 to 9 GWh faces potential delays due to high battery prices and limited developer experience.
