Need for Advanced Chemistry Cell Energy Storage in India

The report examines current and future battery chemistries, including those using indigenous materials like sodium and aluminium, to support India's decarbonization of electricity and transportation. It highlights that domestic manufacturing of common NMC and LFP cells could allow India to capture 40% to 90% of total cell value, benefiting the e-mobility and grid-scale energy storage sectors.

• India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for advanced cell chemistry (ACC) battery storage is valued at $2.5 billion and aims to meet battery needs through domestic manufacturing.
• Domestic manufacturing of nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry cells could enable India to capture between 40 and 90 percent of the total cell value.
• India has the potential to build a battery manufacturing ecosystem using indigenous materials such as aluminium and sodium.
