SUMMARY:Beyond Lithium Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Building India’s Multi-Chemistry Storage Future \nNETRA – Net-zero Energy Transition Association presents the Beyond Lithium Summit 2026\, a focused technology-to-application forum for India’s emerging multi-chemistry energy-storage ecosystem. \nAs India expands renewable-energy capacity\, strengthens energy security\, and prepares for long-duration storage requirements\, the storage conversation must move beyond lithium-ion alone. The summit will bring together policymakers\, researchers\, technology developers\, manufacturers\, utilities\, project developers\, investors\, and industry leaders to examine commercially viable\, India-relevant non-lithium storage pathways. \nThe event will explore how alternative storage technologies can support grid resilience\, renewable-energy integration\, domestic manufacturing\, critical-mineral security\, and new commercial opportunities across the country. \nRegistration  \nNETRA Members: Complimentary registration- https://forms.gle/Hu2sQf596sRE9GyH6 \nNon-NETRA Members: INR 20\,000 + 18% taxes (25% early bird discount till 30th September 2026) \nhttps://forms.gle/afQcH5K4zPPd9Mj99 \nSummit Objective \nThe Beyond Lithium Summit 2026 will assess the readiness\, economics\, deployment potential\, and policy requirements of storage technologies beyond lithium-ion. It will connect technology development with real-world applications\, pilot projects\, manufacturing opportunities\, supply chains\, safety\, standards\, recycling\, and long-duration energy-storage policy. \nThe summit will cover: \n\nSodium-ion batteries\nFlow batteries\, including vanadium redox technologies\nIron- and zinc-based battery systems\nAluminium-air technologies\nSolid-state and silicon-enhanced battery cells\nPumped-hydro storage\nCompressed-air\, thermal\, mechanical\, and other non-electrochemical storage technologies\nLong-duration energy storage (LDES) applications and policy\n\nConference Sessions \n1. From Lithium Dominance to a Multi-Chemistry Approach \nThis opening session will examine the policy landscape\, government R&D initiatives\, global market status\, and the bankability of non-lithium energy storage in India. It will also assess learnings from Indian pilot projects and the importance of a critical-minerals strategy to reduce import dependence. \n2. Sodium-Ion Technology \nThe session will explore sodium-ion technology status\, prototypes\, pilot projects\, global manufacturing developments\, Indian localisation potential\, and the pathways required to de-risk technology investments. \n3. Flow Batteries \nFocused on vanadium redox and other flow-battery technologies\, this session will cover technology stability\, current projects\, grid applications\, and the journey from pilot demonstration to commercial project pipeline. \n4. Iron\, Zinc-Based Batteries and Aluminium-Air Technologies \nThis discussion will focus on the role of start-ups\, technology validation\, performance guarantees\, application-specific technology selection\, C&I economics\, supply chains\, testing\, and certification requirements. \n5. Solid-State and Silicon-Enhanced Cells: From Lab to GWh \nThe session will assess cell-performance improvements\, duration\, capital cost\, degradation\, safety\, emerging applications\, technology-readiness levels\, market readiness\, and investment opportunities. \n6. Non-Electrochemical Storage \nThis session will cover compressed-air energy storage\, thermal storage\, mechanical storage\, pumped-hydro technologies\, and their relevance for long-duration energy-storage requirements\, grid applications\, and DISCOMs. \nWho Should Attend? \nThe summit is designed for stakeholders across the energy-storage value chain\, including: \n\nCentral and state policymakers\, regulators\, and government agencies\nUtilities\, DISCOMs\, grid operators\, and transmission companies\nRenewable-energy developers and independent power producers\nBESS\, long-duration storage\, and infrastructure developers\nBattery manufacturers\, component suppliers\, recyclers\, and technology companies\nEPC contractors\, integrators\, testing agencies\, and O&M service providers\nIndustrial and commercial energy consumers\nStart-ups\, research institutions\, academia\, and think tanks\nBanks\, investors\, venture-capital firms\, insurers\, and financial advisors\nConsultants\, industry associations\, and sustainability professionals\n\nWhy Attend? \n\nUnderstand the opportunities and limitations of non-lithium storage technologies in the Indian market.\nLearn about technology readiness\, performance\, safety\, cost\, and commercial applications.\nGain insights into India’s policy environment\, standards\, testing needs\, and localisation opportunities.\nIdentify potential collaboration opportunities in research\, manufacturing\, pilots\, project development\, finance\, and supply chains.\nNetwork with decision-makers and experts shaping India’s long-duration and multi-chemistry storage future.\n\nContact\nFor registration\, partnership opportunities\, speaker participation\, or general queries\, please contact: \nDebi Prasad Dash\nEmail: debi@netraglobal.org\nMobile: +91 9699719818 \nTushar Kakade\nEmail: tushar@netraglobal.org\nMobile: +91 9404999270
