India's Battery Industry Expected to Generate Up to 2 Million Jobs by 2030
India's battery industry is projected to create 1.5 to 2 million jobs by 2030 as it transitions from importing and assembling lithium-ion cells to establishing a fully integrated domestic manufacturing and recycling ecosystem. Hiring is expected to grow 25-30% annually, with about 25% direct and 75% indirect jobs. Key employment hubs include new gigafactories in Gujarat, Karnataka, Haryana, and Telangana, focusing on skilled roles in electrochemistry, materials science, and battery engineering, supported by government incentives like the Rs 18,100 crore PLI scheme.
