The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued a tender for two 1.5MW(AC) solar power projects with battery energy storage systems of 0.75MW / 2.5MWh each at two locations in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

State-run coal mining and power firm NLC India has auctioned a 20MW solar PV project to be combined with 28MWh of energy storage capacity in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir has approved a draft policy to deliver 450MW of rooftop PV plants by 2022, according to consultancy firm Mercom Capital Group.

Renewable energy agencies in West Bengal and Jammu & Kashmir are tendering for a combined 47.8MW.

The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is set to introduce net metering for grid-connected rooftop solar systems, according to a draft policy document.
