Pricing India’s storage demand gap
India tendered more battery storage in 2025 than in the previous three years combined. Winning bids for these projects have fallen roughly 86% since the country’s first standalone energy storage auction in 2022. On the surface, this reads like a market maturing exactly on schedule. But the reality is less clean-cut, and Vision Mechatronics CEO Rashi Gupta sees industry figures repeatedly making the mistake of treating headline gigawatt-hours as a proxy for real demand.

Spacebound silicon
Solar has a long history in powering satellites and space exploration, and high-powered devices based on multijunction PV cells made from “III-V” materials such as gallium arsenide or indium gallium phosphide have supplied this niche market as far back as the 1960s. But those devices are made with rare materials and complex processing, limited to small batches produced at high cost.
