Trends powering BESS in India
EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)
|September 2025
Thermal plants can operate at higher PLFs, generate more electricity annually and reduce overall costs by deploying Battery Energy Storage Systems.
Energy storage systems start with cells, each weighing 5–6 kg, that form the basic units. These cells are assembled into packs (500–600 kg each) with sensors and battery management systems (BMS) to ensure safe operation. Around 20–25 packs are mounted on steel racks resembling shelves, integrated with DC cabling, monitoring, fire detection, suppression and HVAC systems to manage heat during charging and discharging. The racks are housed inside container-like enclosures that also include HP panels, cabling, sensors and transformers. These storage containers can draw or inject power into the grid, functioning as complex systems beyond simple batteries. The battery energy storage system is not a simple battery, and it requires various subsystems to work properly.

FY26 to attract $20-25 bn in renewable investments in India
The renewable energy sector in India has just hit a turning point. Between April and August 2025, the country added a record 20.1 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power capacity, a 123 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, when additions totalled just 9 GW. According to data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and market observers like ICRA, this pace positions India to cross 35 GW of new capacity by the end of FY26, the highest annual addition in its clean-energy history.
