ation. Recent energy storage auctions in India reveal record-low prices, with unsubsidized standalone battery storage bids at 2.8 lacs/MW/month and solar+storage bids at 3.1–3.5 I
India's electricity storage costs have plummeted, with Battery Energy Storage System tariffs falling from ₹10.18/kWh in 2022-23 to around ₹2.1/kWh recently. New Delhi: The cost of storing electricity in India has dropped sharply in just two years.
Between 2022 and May 2025, India auctioned approximately 12.8GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity for both hybrid and standalone applications. However, only about 219MWh of BESS capacity is reported to be operational, leaving a large pipeline of projects under construction.
This places battery storage close to the average tariff of electricity from solar projects, currently in the range of ₹2.5 per kWh based on recent tenders. The narrowing gap between solar tariffs and battery storage costs is central to India's energy transition.
