“We will incentivise private sector investment in large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) infrastructure for fostering renewable energy integration, grid stability and resilience, ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy future for all.”
Energy storage is being scaled to support renewable integration: the government approved Viability Gap Funding (VGF) schemes for Battery Energy Storage Systems totalling over 43 GWh, mandated energy-storage obligations, and 10 pumped-storage projects with a combined capacity of about 11,870 MW are under construction, alongside policies to attract private investment in BESS. Deployment is accelerating but large-scale storage capacity is still being built out. Partial.
We will expand the nuclear energy component of Bharat's energy mix through a focus on developing small modular reactors as well as increased investment in nuclear energy production.
We will provide free electricity to poor households under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
We have achieved record ethanol blending under the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme. We will further increase ethanol blending in petrol to mitigate environmental degradation while providing additional income to farmers.
