IESA Calls for National Battery Strategy to Make India Global Energy Storage Leader

According to IESA (India Energy Storage Alliance), this white paper will present a strategic roadmap for building a competitive and integrated domestic battery value chain in India. Its aim is not only to strengthen India's energy independence but also to establish the country as a global leader in battery and energy storage technology.

IESA says that despite the efforts of the ministries of heavy industry, power, renewable energy, mines, commerce, and finance, India now needs a comprehensive national battery strategy. This will ensure coordination of policies, manufacturing of products locally, and improving supply chains.

This white paper, prepared with inputs from councils such as the India Battery Manufacturing and Supply Chain Council and the India Reuse and Recycle Council, will offer recommendations from the entire battery supply chain, from components to cell manufacturing to the assembly of packs and systems, and finally to the process of recycling.
