Project REVIVE A sustainability initiative of JSW MG Motor

JSW MG Motor India launched the 'Project REVIVE' initiative in August 2024, along with other innovations at the DriEV.Bharat event. Project REVIVE, is JSW MG's initiative in partnership with TERI, Lohum and BatX, aimed at repurposing EV batteries beyond cars to provide a second life as renewable energy storage systems for sustainable community applications.
Second Life of EV Batteries
The second-life EV batteries market is projected to experience significant growth globally by 2030. As the adoption of electric vehicles in the country increases, the quantum of batteries with potential second-life use will increase. EVs are being promoted globally as a mitigation strategy to reduce emissions.
Experts estimate that the global second-life battery capacity will reach about 950 GWh by 2030 (Statista, 2023). Innovative solutions are needed to promote the use of batteries during their second life. Practical evaluation of second-life applications is important to build consumer confidence and promote adoption, leading to the circularity of EV batteries. In this direction, TERI is supporting JSW MG in this initiative as a knowledge partner and conducting trials at TERI's Himalayan Centre by deploying for community applications.

Project REVIVE A sustainability initiative of JSW MG Motor
Repurposing used EV batteries is crucial towards sustainability and promoting battery circularity. This article by Kapil Muddineni and Neha Jain highlights the outcomes of work done under JSW MG Motor's initiative 'Project REVIVE' on adopting repurposed batteries for stationary applications.

Thriving Fields Enhancing Soil Health and Crop Production with Less Inputs
Rising global population, shrinking arable land area pose a major challenge of feeding people. This is further marred by rapidly declining soil quality and reduced crop production. In this article, Dr Mandira Kochar and Dr Vatsala Koul share a disruptive strategy of inclusion of biological agri-inputs for enhanced crop productivity and soil enrichment in the Indian context while simultaneously reducing impacts on the environment.

Indian Cities are Baking Here's How to Dial Down the Heat
Article by Dr Balakrishna Pisupati makes us acquainted with the urgency of developing cooling solutions to stand against the global heat. This requirement will become more pronounced in urban areas as population of this segment is highly likely to increase by a significant margin in the near future. The author has emphasized, to get this done, enhancing capacity among urban planners, developers, and disaster management authorities is essential.
