India Thermal Energy Storage Market Trends:

Growing investments in infrastructure projects

Rising investments in infrastructure projects are offering a favorable India thermal energy storage market outlook. Increasing construction activities drive the demand for efficient heating, cooling, and energy management solutions. Infrastructure expansion in smart city projects is also accelerating the utilization of thermal storage solutions to regulate peak electricity needs and enhance grid stability. In August 2024, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) of India sanctioned 12 smart city initiatives within the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) with an expenditure of INR 286.02 Billion (USD 3.41 Billion). These proposals were anticipated to draw INR 1.52 Trillion (USD18.12 Billion) in funding from major sectors, generating 1 Million direct and 3 Million indirect employment opportunities. Large commercial complexes, hospitals, and educational institutions are adopting thermal energy storage systems to optimize power usage and ensure uninterrupted energy supply. With rapid urbanization, residential complexes and industrial facilities are integrating thermal energy storage to refine energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. The rising installation of district cooling systems in metro cities is further catalyzing the demand, particularly in large-scale infrastructure developments. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable construction practices are encouraging developers to incorporate eco-friendly systems, where thermal energy storage plays a key role in improving building performance.

Advancements in technology

Improvements in technology are impelling the India thermal energy storage market growth. Innovations in molten salt storage systems are enhancing heat retention, making them ideal for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, which are expanding in India. Enhanced insulation materials and control systems are also increasing storage efficiency by minimizing heat loss and enabling precise temperature management. Advanced software solutions are optimizing the operations of thermal energy storage systems by integrating smart sensors and automation technologies, allowing real-time energy monitoring and improved load management. The integration of AI and machine learning (ML) is further enhancing predictive maintenance, system performance, and energy forecasting, contributing to refined energy management in large-scale projects. Additionally, innovations in modular and scalable designs are making thermal energy storage solutions more adaptable for diverse applications, including industrial heat recovery processes. Apart from this, education institutions and firms are working to come up with modern solutions to cater to the evolving requirements. In January 2025, IIT Kanpur initiated its yearly startup festival, Abhivyakti, highlighting entrepreneurial enthusiasm and innovative accomplishments. IIT Kanpur launched a ‘Thermal Management System’ based on phase change materials, developed by Prof. Sri Sivakumar. This advanced technology aimed to improve cold chain logistics by providing better thermal conductivity and energy storage for applications in food item preservation.
