e-MOBILITY ROADMAP FOR INDIA

• Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India recently launched a report on e-mobility Research & Development roadmap for India to achieve net-zero targets. 

e-Mobility R&D Roadmap for India

• The e-Mobility R&D roadmap focuses on four key areas: energy storage cells, EV aggregates, materials and recycling, and charging and refueling. 

• It aims to achieve self-reliance in these crucial sectors within the next five years cut emission intensity by 45% by 2030, aligning with India’s goals of energy independence by 2047 and net-zero emissions by 2070.

Indian R&D initiatives for eMobility

• Rapid absorption of existing technologies from abroad, adaptation to the Indian context and market-driven ramp up of production. 

• Independent rediscovery of certain technologies that were already available abroad- but with minor modifications to suit the Indian context. 

• Faster and simpler clean slate R&D in technologies by the Start Ups, who have been able to make a significant impact on the eMobility technology landscape in India.

• Consultative Group on eMobility (CGeM): A team of experts from government, academia, and industries to speed up the shift to electric mobility. 

Critical areas need higher attention 

1. Energy Storage Cells

• Energy storage cells, commonly known as batteries, are a foundation of modern technology, offering versatile and efficient electrical energy storage and delivery. 

• Various battery chemistries cater to diverse applications ¾ Lithium-ion batteries power smartphones and electric vehicles

• Lead-acid batteries serve automotive starting systems and backup power

• Nickel-based batteries contribute to portable electronics and hybrids
