May 2026 saw a run of battery storage auction results: PSPCL (500 MW/1,000 MWh), UPPCL (375 MW/1,500 MWh), DVC (250 MW/500 MWh) and NLC India (250 MW/500 MWh).
Storage is moving from pilot to core grid infrastructure. For commercial and industrial users, falling battery costs also make behind-the-meter storage worth evaluating for peak-demand management and backup.
