Govt eases battery PLI norms to attract more storage players; subsidies lowered

The government eased norms under its ₹18,100-crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced chemistry cell (ACC) battery storage, while lowering subsidy levels to attract more players. A new 10 GWh tender, floated on 15 July, forms the final part of the larger 50 GWh initiative. The relaxed terms aim to widen participation in domestic battery-storage manufacturing.
