Market Overview
The Indian residential energy storage market is estimated to generate revenue of USD 28.3 million in 2024. This market is expected to witness a CAGR of 27.7% during 2024-2030, reaching USD 122.8 million by 2030. The Indian government is highly motivated to generate power through renewables, considering population growth and urbanization, to address environmental pollution and achieve energy sufficiency. This context highlights the increasing growth in the global residential energy storage system market.
To create a better future, the Indian government has implemented various schemes and regulations. For example, in January 2022, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) initiated the grid-connected rooftop solar (RTS) programme. Under this programme, the ministry provides financial support covering up to 40% of the cost for systems up to 3 kW, and up to 20% for systems above 3 kW but less than 10 kW.
A primary trend observed in the residential power storage market is the use of solar rooftop systems. The integration of solar home systems (SHS) and energy storage systems can facilitate the formation of microgrids and small-scale power stations. This paper discusses several policy measures adopted by the Indian government to promote solar rooftop systems.
In January 2024, the Indian Prime Minister launched another scheme, PM Suryodaya Yojana, under which rooftop solar systems will be installed in 1 crore houses for lower and middle-income groups at one-tenth the current subsidized rates.
