India's Battery PLI Scheme Develops 1.4 GWh Capacity Against 50 GWh Target, Faces Delays
India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell batteries has developed only 1.4 GWh of manufacturing capacity against a 50 GWh target, with commercial production yet to start, according to a NITI Aayog report. The Rs 18,100 crore scheme faces delays due to technological challenges, import dependence, and slow facility setup. Investments reached Rs 4,570 crore by March 2026, generating 1,245 jobs, but no incentives have been disbursed as production is pending. The report highlights limited domestic supply chains and reliance on foreign technology as key obstacles.
