The capacity is earmarked for Grid Scale Stationary Storage (GSSS) applications, a key requirement for integrating renewable energy into the power grid.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has begun the process of finalising the unallocated 10 GWh capacity under the ACC PLI scheme and has sent a proposal to the Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS) for approval, according to government officials. The EGoS is a high-level inter ministerial body chaired by the Cabinet Secretary.
