India’s prime minister Narendra Modi made an official

commitment towards the launch of the country’s first
National Energy Storage Mission yesterday at a
ministerial event also attended by the UN Secretary
General, Antonio Guterres.
The Indian government Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy is currently hosting an event in Delhi for the
Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), protecting and
promoting the trade and transport interests of the
world’s third largest ocean, an extended region which
according to the Ministry in fact represents
approximately 15% of global energy demand. At the same
time, the International Solar Alliance is meeting at a
parallel event as well as the 2nd Global RE-INVEST Meet &
Expo, which as the name suggests focuses on international
renewable energy investments.

Modi spoke at a joint launch for the IORA, RE-INVEST and

International Solar Alliance events. The prime minister,
sometimes criticised for his populist and perceived
nationalist stance, has overseen something of an
explosion in the Indian solar market since his
inauguration in 2014, with PV Tech/Energy-Storage.news
deputy editor Tom Kenning often reporting on big projects
in solar and a growth in interest in energy storage,
including tenders to add batteries or other storage to
some of those large-scale solar projects.

In the last 150 to 200 years, Modi said, mankind has

depended on fossil fuels. He said that as a transition to
renewable sources of energy continues, he hoped the
International Solar Alliance would be “at the top of the
list” of organisations working to further the “welfare
of mankind”. The alliance was officially launched in
March this year with a goal to drive the deployment of
1,000GW of PV and attract US$1 trillion in funding by
2030. Meanwhile, India will work to meet the terms of the
Paris Agreement, aiming for 40% of total energy
requirements in the country to come from non-fossil fuel
sources by 2030, developing self-confidence to go from
“Poverty to Power”.

Although not included in the official MNRE release,

domestic news outlet the Economic Times of India reported
 further remarks from Modi that India has attracted
investment of some US$42 billion in renewables during his
four year tenure to date and could attract investments or
generate business opportunities worth US$70 billion to
US$80 billion in the next four years across the whole
clean energy space.

As well also extolling the potential virtues of biomass,

bio-fuel and bio-energy including waste-to-fuel for India
and describing the overall transition to a clean grid as
an opportunity as much as a challenge, Modi announced
plans to launch the National Energy Storage Mission. The
prime minister said it would involve manufacturing,
deployment, technology development and policy framework
although further details were not forthcoming.

The National Energy Storage Mission was first announced

in February of this year by an MNRE-convened expert
committee, which led to a draft document being published
in August, created by NITI Aayog – (the National
Institution for Transforming India) and US think-tank
Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). The draft focused heavily
on the manufacturing side, which is unsurprising given
Modi’s thirst to pursue ‘Make in India’ policies and
give consideration to domestic content requirements in
technology and industry. Perhaps viewing the
manufacturing value chain as a virtuous circle beginning
with e-mobility, the draft was almost exclusively about
electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing and how best
to support it.
