India’s Power-Grid Expansion: Infrastructure Opportunity

That makes **transmission, renewable integration and battery storage** increasingly important. A recent Business Standard report highlights IndiGrid’s ambition to take its AUM from ₹34,041 crore to around **₹45,000 crore over the next 2–3 years**, supported by approximately ₹13,000 crore of projects under execution through EnerGrid. The portfolio currently has roughly 75% transmission and 25% renewables, while battery storage is becoming an important growth area. ### 🔎 NIFTY 500 Stocks to Study - **
