Grid-Scale Growth: India Launches Key 10 GWh Battery Tender

India is taking a major step toward energy independence with the launch of a new 10 GWh tender for grid-scale battery manufacturing. Under the umbrella of the ₹18,100-crore PLI scheme, this move completes the allocation of the nation's 50 GWh ACC program, creating a dedicated pathway for stationary storage. Supported by recent policy tailwinds—including customs relief on equipment—this tender is designed to make domestic battery production more attractive. Stakeholders are now looking toward local supply chains and economies of scale as the key determinants for long-term competitiveness in this sector.
