Lithium‑Ion Growth in India: Gigafactories, EVs, and Beyond

India’s lithium‑ion battery demand is projected to reach 20 GWh by 2026, with domestic manufacturing capacity scaling to 100 GWh under the PLI‑ACC framework. Gigafactories by Reliance, Exide, and Amara Raja are reshaping supply chains, while EV adoption and renewable storage drive exponential growth. Alternative chemistries like sodium‑ion and solid‑state are also emerging, diversifying India’s energy future.
