Across global markets outside China and the United States, the total capex to build a long-duration (4 hours or more) utility-scale BESS project is around $125/kWh, of which around $75/kWh is for the core equipment shipped from China and around $50/kWh to install and connect the battery. A levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of $65/MWh.
However, developers in India receive a CAPEX subsidy of 1.8 million INR/MWh (just over $20/kWh), which helps explain the lower price compared to Italy. Expert discussions suggest that current BESS prices are close to $120 /kWh.
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China's average cost.
India concluded several BESS auctions in 2025 with various scopes and clearing prices. One example is the RVUNL auction (1GW/2GWh), which cleared at 177,500 INR/MW/month. This is equivalent to $12/kWh/year, around 20% lower than the Italian auction price.
