The Indian government has proposed draft guidelines for a Battery Pack Aadhaar (BPAN) system, assigning a unique 21-character digital identity and QR code to EV and industrial batteries. This initiative aims to track batteries throughout their lifecycle, enhancing transparency, traceability, and sustainability. The BPAN will store static data like manufacturer details and specifications, alongside dynamic data on battery health and usage, facilitating predictive maintenance and recycling. The system is expected to combat counterfeit products and support circular economy goals.
