Battery Swapping a viable option for India’s Transportation future 2030 ?

As India is focusing on achieving a hundred percent EV by 2030. Many enterprises are gearing up. A lot of news coming up on social media, sharing updates on various developments happening in the EV sector.

Let say even if we converted all the traditional IC engines cars to electrical & make them battery swap-able then how are we going to manage batteries maintenance/recycling plan keeping the environment safe and ready for the upcoming future generation?

India need as strong viable lithium battery recycling management and policy. Lithium ion battery has great potential to be part of circular economy as they can be recycled to their original purpose at the end of life.

Circular Economy for Lithium-ion Battery

According to the official, the government wants Made in India batteries to be technologically agnostic wherein the efficiency of the cell as well as the life cycle is defined. While safety and mechanical parameters for lithium-ion batteries are already in place, the government now wants to define the performance parameters for batteries or advanced chemistry cells.

NITI Aayog, the government’s premier think tank, has been driving the government’s mission on transformative mobility with the quicker transition to EVs with the objective of cleaning up Indian cities and ensuring India reduces its dependence on imported fuel.

The Aayog will soon invite bids for setting up gigafactories in India with cumulative battery production of 50 GWH. Typically, a gigafactory with 10 GWH capacity requires an investment of $1 billion.

Recycling of lithium-ion batteries in India- $1,000 million opportunity!!!!!!!
