This report delves deep into the technological trends in advanced chemistry cell manufacturing and emphasizes the need to focus on creating a circular economy framework for long-term sustainability. Additionally, the report highlights the crucial skill gaps in the battery ecosystem and the importance of addressing these gaps when executing giga factories in India. I am confident that this report will serve as a valuable reference for all stakeholders
in the industry.
This report is structured to include three major sections. The first section provides an overview of the EV battery landscape including some key trends emerging in the battery technology space. The subsequent section provides a brief about the necessity of circular economy in batteries and provides some of the prevailing end-of-life treatment process for EV batteries. The final section provides an insight into the skill-gap emerging in the battery
manufacturing space. Each section provides a set of recommendations curated based on industry stakeholder interactions, that will enable the government and key decision-making bodies towards the development of a conducive battery manufacturing ecosystem in India.
