On February 1 2025, Hon'ble Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her 8th Union Budget 2025-2026 with the theme “Sabka Vikas”, focusing on balanced regional growth. The Budget entails some key announcements for the EV industry. The allocation to PM E-DRIVE, PLI Schemes, PM-eBus Sewa, along with others have been increased. The budget thereby aims to accelerate growth, stimulate private sector investments, and achieve the goal of sustainable mobility. India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) welcomes the budget and aims to work along with the government to pursue the aim of Viskit Bharat 2047. Dilip Chenoy Sutirtha Ghosh Manvi Sherawat

Battery swapping is more than just a technological innovation; it is a crucial component in the transition to a sustainable and efficient electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. The recently released “Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Battery Swapping and Charging Stations” by the Ministry of Power represent continued support by the government to encourage a robust battery swapping ecosystem in India. Writing in the businessline, the Secretariat of India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA), Dilip Chenoy, Sutirtha Ghosh and Manvi Sherawat throw light on gaining a comprehensive understanding of battery swapping industry and how it can aid in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat, 2047.

India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) welcomes the "Guidelines to be followed for installation of Electric Vehicle Charging/ Battery Swapping facilities in a Retail Outlet (Petroleum Service Station)" notified on 20th January 2025 by Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO). The guidelines streamline the process of establishing EV charging and battery swapping stations in petroleum service stations. The guidelines would allow swap stations to be provided adequate land at the service stations while also allowing dedicated parking space for the swapping vehicles. These will allow smooth operation at the service stations. India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) extends sincerest appreciation to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO).

India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) welcomes the “Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Battery Swapping and Charging Stations” by Ministry of Power (MoP). These guidelines are the first step in recognising and enabling battery swapping and Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) in the Indian electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. They will support the needs of EVs equipped with swappable batteries and apply to battery swapping and charging station operators, as well as swappable battery providers, across the country. During the stakeholder consultations, IBSA had highlighted the fact that these guidelines will support the transition to e-mobility in India and in achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat 2047. These guidelines are particularly important as a first step towards developing the battery swapping ecosystem, since it not only reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the vehicle but also brings down the initial cost, to be borne during the purchase of the vehicle, for the consumer. Mr. Dilip Chenoy, Advisor, India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA), welcoming the battery swapping guidelines, mentioned that “this is a key step initiated by the Ministry to promote swapping in the country and provides customers with a choice and avenue to reduce ownership and operating costs. Combined with other initiatives, it has the potential to accelerate EV adoption.” India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) extends sincerest appreciation to the Ministry, and Shri Sameer Pandita and Shri Rahul Juyal at Bureau of Energy Efficiency (ऊर्जा दक्षता ब्यूरो). We are committed to work with the government and other stakeholders to take forward the advancement of the battery swapping ecosystem and support the transition to electric mobility in India.

India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA) is honoured to have attended the Consultation Meeting chaired by Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, on “Development of Battery Charging and Swapping Infrastructure” on 3rd January 2025. The meeting was co-organized by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), and attended by various Ministries and leading industry representatives from automobile, battery manufacturing, battery charging and battery swapping companies along with EV associations, e.g., Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and India Battery Swapping Association (IBSA). Hon’ble Minister called for a level playing field in the EV ecosystem (battery swapping and fixed-battery EVs). He also envisioned that all petrol pumps, CNG stations, and similar facilities should be equipped with battery swapping infrastructure that may also address the issue of vandalism, currently faced by the sector. IBSA stands with the vision of Hon’ble Minister to make EV adoption a “people’s movement” in India, driven by innovation and technological advancements.
