Guidelines released for Aadhaar for EV batteries to track their lifecycle
Financial Express Ahmedabad
|January 02, 2026
THE CENTRE HAS released draft guidelines for a Battery Pack Aadhaar system, a digital identity framework aimed at tracking batteries throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal.
The move seeks to enhance transparency, traceability, and sustainability in India's rapidly growing electric vehicle sector, where lithium-ion batteries account for 80-90% of demand. While the guidelines primarily target EV batteries, they may also cover industrial batteries above 2 kWh, excluding starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries and portable batteries.
Under the proposed framework, every battery pack for EVs and large industrial applications will receive a unique 21-character Battery Pack Aadhaar Number (BPAN), along with a QR code.
