โก๐ THE NEED FOR STRENGTHENING INDIA'S EV SUPPLY CHAINS ๐ฎ๐ณ๐
India's Electric Vehicle revolution is accelerating rapidly, with nearly 2.5 million EVs sold in FY26. While EV adoption supports India's climate goals and reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels, a new challenge is emergingโbattery dependence.
๐ Key Highlights
โ EV sales are growing due to subsidies, tax exemptions, and state incentives.
โ India is reducing oil dependence but increasing reliance on imported lithium-ion batteries.
โ Domestic battery manufacturing remains limited despite the ACC PLI Scheme.
โ India imported 7,987 MWh batteries in 2025, with a major share sourced from China.
โ ๏ธ Why is this a concern?
โข Heavy dependence on China for batteries โข Supply chain vulnerabilities โข Geopolitical risks โข Technology restrictions โข Rising battery prices
๐ Impact on India
โข Delays EV affordability and mass adoption โข Increases vehicle costs โข Affects climate and EV penetration targets โข Creates strategic dependence on external suppliers
