Indian energy storage capacity reached 490 MWh by the end of June, according to Mercom India’s “India’s Energy Storage Landscape 1H 2025 Report.” Karnataka accounted for 33% of national capacity, Chhattisgarh 24%, and Gujarat 16%.

Solar-plus-storage systems represented nearly 56% of cumulative installed capacity. Solar-plus-wind projects with round-the-clock capability contributed over 32%, while standalone battery energy storage systems accounted for more than 12%. The remaining share came from floating solar with storage and solar-plus-wind projects with storage capabilities.

The country also has 5 GW of operational pumped storage capacity as of the report’s publication.
