The India Energy Storage Alliance is preparing to release Vision 2047, a strategic white paper to build a competitive domestic battery ecosystem. Developed with support from IBMSCC and IRRC, it outlines actionable recommendations across upstream components, mineral refining, pack assembly, integration, and recycling. Set to launch at the India Battery Manufacturing & Supply Chain Summit 2026 in Hyderabad, the initiative aims to strengthen energy independence, create high-value green jobs, and accelerate the adoption of advanced chemistry cells amid rising demand from EVs, grid-scale renewables, and commercial energy storage systems.
The India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) has announced plans to release a comprehensive white paper aimed at developing a competitive domestic battery value chain. The document, titled Vision 2047: India's Roadmap for a Self-Reliant Battery Ecosystem, is set to be unveiled at the India Battery Manufacturing & Supply Chain Summit 2026 next month. Advertisement
The white paper provides a detailed blueprint for establishing an integrated, domestic battery industry to strengthen India's energy independence and position the country as a global leader in energy storage technologies. IESA highlighted that despite active support from ministries such as Heavy Industries, Power, New & Renewable Energy, Mines, Commerce, and Finance, the sector requires a unified national battery strategy that aligns initiatives and promotes domestic manufacturing.
Developed with inputs from the India Battery Manufacturing and Supply Chain Council (IBMSCC) and the India Recycling and Reuse Council (IRRC), the white paper offers actionable recommendations for all stakeholders across the battery value chain, covering upstream components, mineral refining, downstream pack assembly, system integration, and recycling.
The 5th India Battery Manufacturing & Supply Chain Summit (IBMSCS) 2026 will take place in Hyderabad on February 5-6. The event is expected to host more than 600 delegates, 50 industry leaders, and over 250 companies, including Attero, Rubamin, Toshiba, and Luminous, along with institutions such as the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (CMET) and the Indian Institute of Science.
Experts from countries including China, Japan, Korea, Finland, Australia, Germany, and the USA will participate to discuss challenges in the advanced chemistry cell (ACC) value chain and explore collaborative solutions.
Debmalya Sen, President of IESA, stated that the roadmap emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated development across all segments of the battery ecosystem. He added that aligning policy, investment, and research with industry requirements could create a resilient and sustainable sector while supporting India's energy security and generating high-value green jobs.
The demand for ACCs and energy storage systems is rapidly rising, driven by the adoption of electric vehicles, integration of renewable energy at the grid level, and the growing use of behind-the-meter storage in commercial and industrial sectors.
Vinayak Walimbe, Managing Director of Customised Energy Solutions, noted that the summit and the white paper launch are occurring at a critical point, as India's battery market is poised for significant growth. He emphasized that a coordinated approach between industry and government focusing on supply chain localisation, gigafactory deployment, and recycling infrastructure can help India leapfrog global competitors and achieve true self-reliance in energy storage technologies.
