India's Central Electricity Authority proposes mandatory co-located battery storage for solar and wind projects, starting with 10% of capacity and 2-hour duration for projects after July 2027, increasing to 4 hours for projects commissioned between 2029 and 2031. The regulation aims to reduce renewable energy curtailments caused by grid constraints and insufficient storage.
