The government is enhancing policy support, including incentives for advanced chemistry cells, viability gap funding for standalone battery systems, and initiatives for battery recycling. Collaboration with the European Union aims to pilot recycling projects, while efforts continue to develop domestic supply chains and manufacturing capabilities across the battery ecosystem.
