A 75 kWh pack at 70% capacity is about 50 kWh, sufficient for most homes in India.
Its a great idea. Given them to commercial establishments where energy costs are 3 times domestic ones and you have a pretty decent deal.
Alternatively, with modern LED streetlighting, a 50 kWh pack can probably light up a small street throughout the night. Local govts can store excess energy during day and use that at night. Its a fairly standard charge and discharge cycle, perhaps giving 4 to 5 years of lifecycle additions.
