India Eyes 50% Local Content for Battery Storage in Wind & Solar Projects
Proposed Localisation Rule The government may mandate 50% domestic content in battery storage systems used in wind and solar power projects to cut import reliance.
Components Targeted The policy could cover battery systems, energy management, inverters, and containers, while cells may be excluded.
Why It’s Being Considered This step aims to reduce import exposure and boost grid security amid China-linked concerns and cyber risk. t.
