Our energy transition needs a data backbone that tags and tracks batteries across their life-cycle

- PAWAN MULUKUTLA & CHAITANYA KANURI

India plans to double its non-fossil energy capacity of about 243GW over the next four years, a feat that will fuel unprecedented demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) to offset renewable energy intermittency.

A staggering number of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) will be needed, most of which are still imported. Also dependent on batteries is the transport sector: India aims to have electric vehicles (EVs) account for 30% of new vehicle sales by 2030, up from 7.7% in 2024.
