India Receives 22 Bids for 10 GWh Advanced Chemistry Cell Battery Manufacturing
The Indian government has received 22 bids from companies including Reliance Industries, Vikram Solar, and Amara Raja to establish 10 GWh of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery manufacturing capacity under a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. This initiative is part of a broader plan to develop 50 GWh of domestic ACC capacity to reduce reliance on imports, particularly from China, and support grid-scale stationary storage systems. The bidding process is managed transparently by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, aiming to boost India's battery manufacturing ecosystem and electric vehicle adoption.
