The first commercial production of advanced chemistry cell (ACC) batteries under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme is likely to start from December/January 2023, according to Union Minister of Heavy Industries Mahendra Nath Pandey.
The government had approved the PLI scheme for manufacturing ACC batteries in May 2021, with an estimated outlay of Rs 18,100 crore. ACCs are advanced energy storage technologies that can store and convert electric energy.
In a speech at the 63rd SIAM annual convention in New Delhi on Tuesday, Pandey said that the production of the first set of ACC batteries in India is likely to commence by January 2024.
The PLI scheme is expected to boost the domestic manufacturing of ACC batteries and help India become a global hub for the production and export of these batteries.
Benefits of the PLI scheme for ACC batteries:
- Increased domestic manufacturing: The PLI scheme is expected to boost the domestic manufacturing of ACC batteries. This will help to create jobs and boost the Indian economy.
- Reduced imports: The PLI scheme is expected to reduce India's dependence on imports of ACC batteries. This will save the country foreign exchange reserves.
- Increased exports: The PLI scheme is expected to help India become a global hub for the production and export of ACC batteries.
The first commercial production of ACC batteries under the PLI scheme is a significant development for the Indian automotive industry. It is expected to boost the domestic manufacturing of ACC batteries, reduce imports, and increase exports. This will have a positive impact on the Indian economy and help to create jobs.
