A round-up of the India storage headlines our desk tracked to 10 August 2026. The feeds were quiet across the weekend — no new tender, deal or policy move since Friday — so this is a status check on what is still live rather than a fresh news day. For the running list of opportunities see our tender tracker; for the framework behind them, our India BESS policy overview.
Still the numbers to beat
Last week’s two firmed-renewable price points remain the freshest public read on what dispatchable clean power costs in India:
- SECI’s 1 GW FDRE-RTC power tender discovers INR 5.25/kWh tariff — pv magazine India · read our brief
- Gujarat Regulator Approves ₹4.87/kWh Tariff for 250 MW FDRE Procurement — Mercom India
Neither is a battery capacity price — both are blended energy tariffs for a storage-backed bundle — but the spread against plain solar is what the market currently charges to make renewable power dispatchable. Full context in our 7 August digest.
Still live — projects and open calls

Read together, last week’s items covered the whole lifecycle at once — a deal signed, a tariff discovered, a call issued and a gigawatt-hour project switched on. The day-by-day detail is in the 4 August, 5 August and 6 August digests.
Tender terms and deadlines change by notification — always verify the current bid documents on the issuing organisation’s portal before acting.
