The roadmap outlines India's strategy to rapidly scale up pumped storage capacity to ensure grid stability, integrate variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, and provide long-duration storage critical for a reliable and resilient power system. . The report notes that as of December 31, 2025, India has 10 PSPs with an installed capacity of 7 GW in operation, while 10 PSPs with a total capacity of 12 GW are under construction. India has a very large potential for Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) across both on-river and off-river schemes. With a rise in preference for firm renewable energy, the share of hybrid tendered capacity has increased from about 12% in 2021 to over 49% in 2024 in the. . As India enters 2026, the renewable energy landscape stands at a decisive inflection point. With a total installed renewable energy capacity of 220. The investment includes a 36MW solar plant in Amaravati, Maharashtra, scheduled for completion in the first half of 2027. This milestone strengthens ENGIE's role in India's ambition for round-the-clock. .
