Transport Ministry proposes Aadhaar-like numbers for EV batteries
The Business Guardian
|January 04, 2026
The transport ministry has proposed assigning Aadhaar-like unique identification number to EV batteries to ensure their end-to-end traceability and efficient recycling.
The proposed framework will make it mandatory for battery producer or importer to assign a 21-character Battery Pack Aadhaar Number (BPAN) to batteries, as per the draft guidelines issued by the ministry.
They will also have to upload the relevant Battery Pack Dynamic data on the official portal of BPAN.
“The battery producer or importer shall have the obligation of assigning a unique Battery Pack Aadhaar Number (BPAN) to each battery that they introduce in the market and the battery they put to self-use.”
“BPAN shall be in a clearly visible and accessible position. The location shall be chosen in a way that it cannot be destroyed or deteriorate,” the guidelines said.
BPAN will capture and store vital information starting from raw material extraction and manufacturing to its usage, recycling, or final disposal, as per the ‘Guidelines For Implementation Of Battery Pack Aadhaar System’.
