India Battery Market - Size, Share, Growth, Outlook - Industry Trends and ?Forecast to 2028

The Indian battery market is driven by a number of factors, including government initiatives to promote electric vehicle adoption, the growing demand for energy storage systems due to the increasing deployment of renewable energy sources, and the rising use of consumer electronics. Consumer awareness about environmental protection is also rising, contributing to the growth of the battery market.

Additionally, the growing automotive industry and urbanization are contributing to the market's growth. Technological advancements in battery technology and the expansion of e-commerce and online sales channels are also driving the India battery market forward.

The growth of the battery market in India is restrained by several factors, including the high cost of batteries. Additionally, the lack of standardization and regulations in the industry creates challenges for market growth. The dependence on imported raw materials, as well as the limited battery recycling infrastructure in the country, further constrain the market. These factors make it difficult for the market to reach its full potential and impede its growth.

In its National Statement at the Conference of the Parties (COP) 26, India announced its commitment to reduce total projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes by 2030 to act up on climate change.

In achieving the ambitious commitments, renewable energy and transport electrification (EVs) will play an important role. To support the growth in these two markets, battery storage will play a critical role. The growth in battery storage applications will result in the growth in Lithium ion battery technology and other emerging advanced chemistry cells (ACCs).

Government Support

India aims to develop a domestic battery production and research and development ecosystem, with a strong requirement that all value be realized domestically to 100%. In order to achieve it, the government of India is taking many initiatives.

To advance the cause of domestic manufacturing in India, the GoI has introduced initiatives like Make In India, the National Smart Grid Mission, National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage, and the National Programme on ACC Battery Storage.

One such scheme is the government's recently unveiled production-linked incentive (PLI) program, which offers the much-needed incentive to increase the manufacturing capacity of batteries in the upcoming years.

The PLI program called 'National program on ACC battery storage' to implement ACC manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles (EVs). A total of USD 2.47 billion was allocated for the program's total incentive pay out for five years.

There were 10 businesses that made offers for the tender, including Reliance New Energy Solar, Hyundai Global Motors, Ola Electric Mobility, Lucas-TVS, Mahindra & Mahindra, Amara Raja Batteries, Exide Industries, Rajesh Exports, Larsen & Toubro, and India Power Corporation.

Segment Analysis by Battery Type

Li-ion Batteries

The lithium ion battery is the most important part of an EV and accounts for between 25 to 50 percent of its cost. Similar to the global battery market, the demand for li ion batteries from the automotive sector is expected to dominate the battery market in India during the forecast period due to the rising adoption of electric vehicles.

The sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have increased significantly in India over the past years. In comparison to the 322,871 units sold in 2021, the 999,849 EVs sold in 2022 show a substantial year-over-year growth of 210%. The majority of the expansion was driven by the two- and three-wheeler segments. Because they are less expensive than electric passenger cars or big commercial vehicles, they are the key factors in EV sales.

During the projection period, it is anticipated that with the growing Indian EV market, the EV battery market would keep expanding at a rapid pace. The Indian electric vehicles market is being driven by a number of important factors, such as government subsidies and policies, rising fossil fuel prices, falling automotive battery costs, expanding charging infrastructure, increasing domestic EV production, and growing consumer interest in electric mobility.

Another important driver of the li ion batteries is the strong demand from the consumer electronics market. Most electronic devices, including earbuds, laptops, and mobile phones, are powered by lithium batteries.

According to Consumer Electronics and Appliances Manufacturers Association (CEAMA), the domestic market for consumer electronics is predicted to grow steadily over the next three years, nearly doubling its size. India is one of the fastest-growing consumer electronics marketplaces in the world and is starting to take over from China and other Asia Pacific nations as a manufacturing hub. With the increasing demand for consumer electronics, the lithium ion battery market is expected to expand.

Lead Acid Batteries

Since their development, lead acid batteries have been used for stationary applications. These batteries have also been extensively employed for SLI applications as the automotive industry has expanded. These are also used in the stationary energy storage systems, in current Indian battery market scenario, inverter and UPS (uninterrupted power supply) applications take the major share of the stationary battery market which use lead acid batteries predominantly due their established technology, inexpensive price, and robustness when compared to other battery technologies.

Although electric vehicles use lithium battery, they also use lead acid battery for auxiliary power, same as the conventional fossil fuel based vehicles. The demand for lead acid batteries is expected to remain strong during the forecast period, though the demand from stationary battery market may slow down as the lithium chemistry becomes cost competitive in the future.

Other Cell Chemistries

Other than the different lithium chemistries such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese oxide, other cell chemistries being used in India are Nickle Manganese Cobalt. India is trying to deploy other battery chemistries (with high power capacity) and technologies such as sodium ion batteries to dominate the global battery market.

Opportunities

The government of India established the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), which aims to design and oversee the execution of policies and programs pertaining to Smart Grid operations in India. The main goals of smart grids are to increase the electricity networks' dependability and prepare the grid for inputs of renewable energy through distributed generation. As batteries are an indispensable part of smart grid infrastructure, it offers a great opportunity for battery manufacturers to flourish.

India envisions to strengthen its battery supply chain and establish a strong battery manufacturing ecosystem. To enable it to do so, the government has launched initiatives such as National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage plan which offers a great opportunity for local battery manufacturers to expand their business footprint.

India expects to gradually cut down its dependence on imports from countries like China, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea for its lithium ion cells. This urge to cut down on import dependence is creating opportunities for battery manufacturers in many ways such as sourcing raw materials and indigenous manufacturing.

Recent Developments

In the budget 2023, the government of India announced the visibility gap funding for battery energy storage systems project with capacity 4000 MWh which will aid the advancement of battery projects in India and support higher adoption of renewable energy sources to the grid.

Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) and ONGC Tripura Power Company Limited (OTPC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Jan 2023, for the development of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project with a capacity of up to 250 MW/500 MWh in Assam.

Aiming to make a technological advancement in the area of home inverters and stationary applications, Matter Energy, a technology start-up with offices in Ahmedabad, has partnered with Luminous Power Technologies in Jan 2023.

The 2023 financial budget announced the customs duty exemption being extended to import of capital goods and machinery required for the manufacture of lithium-ion cells for batteries used in electric vehicles. The move will lead to significant domestic growth as well as battery innovation, as new battery packs will be designed with Indian conditions in mind rather than global ones. This will make EVs safer, more affordable, and better in the long run.

Omega Seiki Mobility Pvt. announced in January 2023 that it would invest 8 billion rupees (USD 981 million) to construct two facilities in India for the production of electric vehicle parts such as battery packs and powertrains.
