⚡🚗 THE NEED FOR STRENGTHENING INDIA'S EV SUPPLY CHAINS 🇮🇳🔋
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 emerging—battery dependence.
🔍 Key Highlights
✅ EV sales are growing due to subsidies, tax exemptions, and state incentives.
✅ India is reducing oil dependence but increasing reliance on imported lithium-ion batteries.
✅ Domestic battery manufacturing remains limited despite the ACC PLI Scheme.
✅ India imported 7,987 MWh batteries in 2025, with a major share sourced from China.
⚠️ Why is this a concern?
• Heavy dependence on China for batteries • Supply chain vulnerabilities • Geopolitical risks • Technology restrictions • Rising battery prices
📈 Impact on India
• Delays EV affordability and mass adoption • Increases vehicle costs • Affects climate and EV penetration targets • Creates strategic dependence on external suppliers
💡 What should India do?
🔄 Diversify battery sourcing through a "China + 1" strategy

As we grow older, we realize that not everything deserves our time, attention, or energy.
Not every argument needs a response.
Not every opinion needs validation.
Not every problem is ours to solve.
Peace begins when we stop giving our energy to things that don't contribute to our growth, happiness, or purpose.
Your energy is one of your most valuable resources.
Spend it on your dreams, your loved ones, your health, and the things that truly matter.
Remember:
Not everything deserves your energy.
What is one thing you've stopped giving your energy to lately?
