“Given the ongoing energy transitions in the country, the development of Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) assumes importance for providing greater inertia and balancing power to the grid. PSPs are also known as ‘the Water Battery’, which is an ideal complement to modern clean energy systems,” it said.

India, which aims to reach 500 GW of non-fossil fuel generation capacity by 2030 has 157.32 GW of renewables capacity, accounting for 40.1% of the total electricity capacity.
