Jindal India Renewable Energy (JIRE) has announced its foray into the battery energy storage systems (BESS) business in India to support the country's emerging demand for energy storage solutions and its aspirations to be a leading player in clean energy transition.
India’s clean energy transition is accelerating, with ambitious goals of achieving 50% non-fossil installed capacity by 2030. This vision cannot succeed without large-scale energy storage. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) provide the crucial flexibility: they capture excess solar and wind power when available and release it when needed.
Battery Energy Storage is the linchpin of India’s renewable future. From raw material security to AI-driven smart grids, every element of the ecosystem is evolving. With Amara Raja and startups at the forefront, and strong policy support, India is poised not just to adopt but to lead the global BESS revolution by 2035.
