India’s 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity increasingly depends on long-duration energy storage (LDES), according to a report released by the India Energy Storage Alliance in association with Customized Energy Solutions. The report said FY28 viability gap funding could be a critical enabler for faster LDES adoption as the power system moves beyond renewable capacity additions toward grid integration, stability and resilience. ⚡
FY28 viability gap funding is important because LDES projects typically require substantial upfront investment before their system-wide benefits, including renewable balancing and reliability, are fully monetised. Wider deployment would help manage periods when solar and wind generation do not match demand, while supporting the integration of additional non-fossil capacity. The report did not specify a funding amount in the available excerpt.
OI Charts data showed mixed positioning among listed power and renewable companies on 30 Oct 2026:
• Adani Green Energy closed at ₹1,299, down 0.6%, with futures open interest falling 0.9% in long unwinding. Its ₹1,300 max-pain level was close to the spot price, while the largest call open interest was at ₹1,400 and the largest put open interest at ₹1,200. The stock was up 5.2% over 20 sessions.
• NTPC rose 1.9% to ₹316.25, with futures open interest down 0.3% in short covering. Its max pain was ₹312.50, with the largest call open interest at ₹320. The stock remained down 1.5% over 20 sessions despite a 4.4% gain over five sessions.
• Tata Power edged up 0.1% to ₹345.05, while futures open interest declined 0.5% in short covering. Its ₹350 max-pain level matched both the largest call and put open-interest strike; the stock was down 4.7% over 20 sessions.
The next market focus is the structure and timing of FY28 viability gap funding, followed by project tenders, storage procurement and evidence that LDES is being deployed alongside new renewable capacity. For the sector, implementation milestones will determine whether the policy discussion translates into bankable projects and improved grid flexibility. 🔋
