Can India build a sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling ecosystem?
The report, “Charging Ahead – Transforming India’s Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Ecosystem”, commissioned by the India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA) and conducted by Accenture, outlines both the opportunity and the urgency of building a sustainable LiB supply chain. EV Boom to Power LiB demand
What is India's demand for lithium-ion batteries?
India’s demand for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) is expected to surge to 115 gigawatt-hours (GWh) by , driven by the explosive growth in electric vehicles (EVs), stationary storage systems, and consumer electronics.
Why is India a prime candidate for lithium refinery development?
India is a prime candidate for the development of lithium refineries because of its experience in chemical processing, strong port and trade infrastructure, a large future domestic battery market of battery demand, lower capital cost, and trade frameworks with both Australia and Chile.
How will lithium demand change in India in ?
The share of EVs in total lithium demand increases from 24% in to 50% in . Meanwhile, the share of grid storage also grows, reaching 22% in . The total lithium demand rises from 1,634 tons in to 11,398 tons in . Figure 7. Estimated annual lithium demand in India under the Business-as-Usual scenario (in tons)
How much lithium does India import in ?
India’s imported lithium compounds in amounted to USD 24 million for lithium oxide and hydroxide, and USD 9 million for lithium carbonates (UN Comtrade, n.d.). These figures are currently limited due to India's nascent progress in battery cathode manufacturing.
How will India's lithium recycling program affect the future?
Like refining plants, the recycling program will allow India to capture and retain more of the value of Li-ion batteries for both domestic use and exports, and help ofset a portion of India’s future lithium demand. AidData. ().
India’s lithium battery policy focuses on boosting domestic manufacturing, reducing import reliance, and promoting sustainable energy storage. Key initiatives include Production-Linked Incentives (PLIs), FDI allowances, and partnerships for raw material sourcing.
