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.

- NITIN KUMAR

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.
