Ministry of Heavy Industries Advances Battery and Rare Earth Magnet Manufacturing Tenders
The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) is advancing two key initiatives to boost domestic manufacturing in electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors. It held a pre-bid meeting for allocating 10 GWh of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery capacity focused on grid-scale energy storage under its production-linked incentive scheme. Separately, MHI extended the bid deadline for its Rs 7,280-crore rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing tender to August 12, aiming to encourage wider participation in producing critical components for EVs and renewable technologies.
