India EV Battery Demand to Jump Tenfold-From 20 GWh to 200 GWh by 2032

BLDC motors dominate the two-wheeler segment. PMSM motors dominate passenger EVs.

SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOCALISATION

The study places strong emphasis on  component localisation  and  supply chain development  in India’s EV ecosystem. It covers:

• Battery demand forecasts

• Component manufacturing trends

• Strategic outlook through  2034

Localisation means making more parts in India instead of importing them. This will help India become self-reliant in EV manufacturing.

INDIA ENERGY STORAGE WEEK

The 12th India Energy Storage Week will be held in  New Delhi  from  8 to 10 July . It is an important platform for discussions on energy storage and battery industry trends. The study will be released there.
