Addressing journalists, the minister announced several plans to meet rising power demand and achieve India's ambitious net zero target of 2070. The incentive will be over and above the existing incentive worth ₹3,700 crore VGF under which 13.2 GWh of BESS is currently under implementation.

The initiative will attract investments worth ₹33,000 crore, he said. Under the scheme 15 states will receive allocations for 25 GWh of storage capacity and state-run NTPC Ltd will get 5 GWh.
