Ola Cell, for instance, has currently established only 1.4 GWh of capacity out of its targeted 20 GWh.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The Japanese delegations visit is expected to focus on providing technical support to accelerate Indias ACC development. Japans strengths lie in pioneering chemical formulations, high-performance cell design, and production processes&mdash;expertise that can help India overcome initial operational hurdles.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">This collaboration underlines the broader strategic alignment between the two nations. Japan already plays a key role in Indias lithium-ion battery value chain through existing partnerships.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Strengthening this collaboration aligns with Indias push for self-reliance in clean energy technologies and complements government initiatives like the PLI scheme, which offers incentives to local manufacturers achieving certain output thresholds and efficiency standards .</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Indias ambition to reach 30 GWh of ACC capacity reflects both growing EV demand and energy-storage needs for grid stabilization and renewable integration.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Japans support could help bring advanced production techniques and robust supply‑chain development, speeding Indias transition toward greener mobility and a sustainable clean‑energy ecosystem.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 42494 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/japanese-delegation-to-advance-indias-battery-production-through-technology-sharing 2025-06-18 16:10:26 knnindia.co.in
