However, at the last NETRA Council Meeting, participants explored battery traceability and standards.

Additionally, they emphasized circularity and supply chain collaboration to strengthen India’s battery value chain.

This supports Building a Circular and Collaborative Battery Ecosystem for India.

A key highlight was the presentation on #Battery360, a growing multi-stakeholder platform bringing together industry, startups, researchers, and policymakers.

Moreover, it supports development of a sustainable and indigenous battery ecosystem, Building a Circular and Collaborative Battery Ecosystem for India.

The session examined Circular Battery Intelligence.

It emphasized trusted, transparent systems that track battery materials and performance across their lifecycle.

Participants discussed lessons from sectors like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

These lessons could improve traceability, quality assurance, and stakeholder confidence in the battery industry.

Additionally, another important theme was the need for greater collaboration across the supply chain.

Moreover, battery applications expand into sectors like mobility, defense, aviation, and stationary storage.

Consequently, stronger partnerships between startups, manufacturers, system integrators, and recyclers will accelerate localization and reduce import dependence.

A sincere thank you to all the speakers and participants for sharing their expertise and perspectives. We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting collaborative efforts that strengthen India’s battery ecosystem and accelerate the net-zero transition.
