India battery manufacturing and supply chain summit shed light on the evolving battery ecosystem in India as well as globally. With the giga factory race picking up in India, chemical companies have started exploring supply chain opportunities with some already committing large capex. Though battery manufacturing is complex and involves various components that may vary with evolving chemistry, India’s ambitious goal of EV adoption, renewables and local sourcing equips the space with guaranteed demand offtake. However, complexities around the rigorous qualification processes will warrant a cautious approach, as the strike rate will be low in the near future as companies undergo the learning curve.
