The Ministry of New and renewable Energy is trying to create demand for storage by bringing tenders linked with storage through Solar Energy Corporation of India and NTPC.

In the year 2015, the Government launched National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) to plan and monitor implementation of various policies and programs related to Smart Grid activities in India. Under NSGM, five projects have been sanctioned. Of these, three projects are in the States of Jharkhand, Odisha and Rajasthan  and  two  projects  in  Union  Territory  of  Chandigarh.  These  projects  are  primarily  aimed  at deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure/Smart Metering.

- (e) The details of state-wise solar capacity created for generation of solar power during the last three years are given in the Annexure-II .
