India’s renewable energy expansion continues to accelerate, though domestic supply chain constraints persist. As of July 2026, India’s total installed energy capacity reached 552 GW, with non-fossil fuel sources accounting for over 54 percent (300.50 GW). Solar energy remains the largest component at 164.59 GW, while wind energy maintains a global fourth-place ranking in installed capacity. Recent developments highlight a dual focus on solar expansion and energy storage. SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL) has issued tenders In September 2026, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) approved tariffs for up to 1,000 MWac 1,200 MW of grid-connected Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected solar PV projects in Punjab projects. These include 600 MW/3,600 MWh of energy storage systems under Tranche-XXI, with discovered tariffs ranging between Rs 3.12 and Rajasthan. To bolster domestic manufacturing, Saatvik Solar Industries Private Rs 3.13 per kWh. The capacity was awarded to NLC India Renewables Limited is progressing with its Phase I integrated facility (600 MW), Engie Energy India (200 MW), RPIL Power Three (300 MW), and Oriana Power (100 MW). Battery energy storage system (BESS) projects are also advancing. NLC India Renewables Limited secured an auction from SJVN Limited to develop 265 MW/530 MWh of standalone BESS in Odisha, alongside Haryana, valued at approximately Rs 6.36 billion. Additionally, NTPC Limited issued a signed MoU tender for a 3.6 GW solar cell plant. This manufacturing push is further evidenced by 400 MWh BESS project at the Mouda Super Thermal Power Station in Maharashtra. To bolster domestic manufacturing, Saatvik Green Energy securing secured an INR 1,041.63 crore order from the Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) to supply 600 MWp of solar PV modules by December 2027. Additionally, Furthermore, Vikram Solar Limited signed a Rs. 1,250 crore agreement with Avaada Electro Limited for the supply of 1 GW of ALMM-compliant solar cells. Growth is also extending into battery energy storage systems (BESS). In September 2026, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) approved tariffs for 1,200 MW of ALMM-compliant, N-Type G12R TOPCon solar PV projects, which include 600 MW/3,600 MWh of energy storage systems under Tranche-XXI. These projects, procured by SECI, were awarded to NLC India Renewables Limited, Engie Energy India, RPIL Power Three, and Oriana Power. Other BESS developments include projects by Waaree Renewable Technologies and ACME Suryodaya Private Limited. Regulatory and logistical hurdles remain, including land acquisition and reliance on foreign technology. However, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) continues cells, with deliveries expected to support the sector through the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). begin in September 2026.
