India is forecasted to account for 40% of the world’s additional energy demand by 2040 and plans to meet a large majority of this growing energy demand from renewable energy sources. Energy storage is vital for managing the expected supply and demand variability increase.   The Government of India is in the early stages of shaping the policy and regulatory framework for energy storage in the country. This brief collates inputs from businesses on ways to strengthen the framework and policy measures.   Developed in collaboration with World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the brief presents the collective policy and regulatory recommendations from over 25 companies on priority action areas for the central government to accelerate energy storage deployment.

IESA Energy Storage Vision 2030 report which emphasizes the importance of energy storage target-setting for India along with other key areas like policy and regulatory intervention required at the Central and the State level, manufacturing, skill development, research & development, and potential barriers that require preparedness and focus from the Centre and the States.

The EV Market in India has been witnessing one of the fastest recoveries in 2021 from the pandemic induced slowdown in 2020. In 2021 the annual sales of EVs in India reached 4,67,000+ units.

The Stationary storage market in India is presently driven by behind-the-meter (BTM) installations. The annual installation of BTM batteries crossed over 33GWh in 2021. Key Trends in the market: BTM Storage market is driven by the power reliability issues faced by the electricity consumers in the country. The majority of the battery applications here are for power backup eg: inverters, UPS, Telecom towers, Diesel optimization, etc The impact of central or state policies has a low to moderate impact in this market. Present policies on rooftop solar, net metering, Electricity rule amendment of 24x7 provision of power to the customer is expected to have a positive impact on the battery market growth from the BTM segment. Lithium-ion battery penetration is highest in Telecom sector (up to 20%) and UPS (~5% ) segments.  With the dropping LiB prices in the forecast period, more segments such as rooftop solar, railways, inverters are also expected to become key applications by 2030. Local Lithium battery assemblers capacity in India is around 5+GWh. This contains both EV and stationary pack suppliers. There are over 30+ notable pack assemblers across Gurgaon, Noida, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. What is covered in the report? Annual energy storage market demand (GWh) in BTM and railway segment and how it has changed from 2019 to 2021. Market forecast (GWh) by applications till 2030- rooftop solar+storage, hybrid-DG set (DG set with energy storage), telecom tower back up, inverter battery backup, UPS battery backup, energy storage for rural electrification, railway application. Techno-commercial viability analysis of using lithium batteries in this application. Key players and their market shares in lead-acid battery market for BTM application Key players in the lithium-ion and other advanced chemistry battery market for BTM applications. Price -trend of Lithium-ion battery packs till 2030.

India’s Front of the meter(FTM) energy storage market is forecasted to grow at 119% during 2020 to 2030 to hit 20GWh annual addition in 2030.  The market will be driven by the massive renewable energy integration  target of 450GW into the grid by 2030, and distribution utility side installations. Presently, the total installed BESS is around 20MWh, and there are several ESS projects of 360MW which is under tendering or construction phase. In the distribution utility side, the use cases of BESS are many- frequency regulation, peak power management, deviation settlement penalty mitigation, grid deferment are few of them. Due to clear indication of benefits of integrating BESS, several discoms have already initiated BESS projects for integration with distribution grid- e.g., BRPL, BYPL, Tatapower, Tangedco, CESC. Challenges High capex involved in installation of BESS, lack of clarity in renewable+storage tenders, not clear understanding about business case are few factors which deter the market growth in the short term. However, with the government ACC manufacturing programme to incentivize advance chemistry cell manufacturing in the country, the battery cell prices are expected to be in be competitive with the global market, also lithium-ion battery (LFP) battery pack prices are forecasted to drop to $70/kWh by 2030. What is covered ? CES’ FTM Energy Storage Market report covers in detail the most relevant various applications for advance energy storage technologies in India presently, and till 2030. These are a) renewable integration  b) Ancillary services c) Distribution utility side ESS. Based on production cost modelling of renewable rich states, the requirement of BESS for meeting the respective state renewable targets was analyzed. This data was utilized to forecast the energy storage for renewable energy requirement by state across three scenarios and projected at Country-level. The FTM market is a policy driven market hence the report does a deep-dive into central level policies and regulation as well a state-wise policy analysis. All state with a renewable or storage policy is covered in detail in the report. Case studies: the report covers case studies of existing BESS projects, latest renewable+ storage tender analysis and global projects in the FTM space to analysis the feasibility of the projects and its benefits to the grid. The present stakeholder list across the value chain is also detailed in the report. Policy recommendations, and market recommendations are also covered in the report. Who are key customers? Renewable energy companies planning to enter storage space Global and local companies planning to bid for ACC who wants to estimate stationary market potential Battery companies, System integrators, discoms All companies who licensed ISROs Lithium battery technology (e.g., BHEL who has announced that they are bidding for ACC)
