#𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 🚗🌍 On the eve of 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑬𝑽 𝑫𝒂𝒚, we are thrilled to unveil our new issue brief: "EV-Ready India: Localising Anode Production for a Greener Tomorrow." authored by Pradeep Karuturi. This issue brief offers actionable recommendations focusing on anode manufacturing, helping India transition to a more self-sufficient and competitive EV battery industry. 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰? Despite India's lithium-ion imports reaching ₹24,346 crores in FY 2023-24, domestic anode production—the second most valuable component in EV batteries—remains largely untapped. This represents a significant missed opportunity for India to reduce import dependence and strengthen its local EV battery supply chain. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 : 🔹 Current state of anode manufacturing & future demand 🔹 Barriers to localisation 🔹 Key enablers for anode production 🔹 Policy recommendations With the right strategic actions, India is well-positioned to lead in anode production and strengthen its EV supply chain 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCzS6V-u #EVReadyIndia #WorldEVDay #SustainableMobility #CleanEnergy #OMIReport #AnodeLocalisation #BatterySupplyChain #LithiumIonBattery #EVSupplyChain Gautam Bambawale | Aishwarya Raman | Pradeep Karuturi | Apoorv Kulkarni | Neha Gupta | Akhilesh Mahadevan | Meheli Roy Choudhury | Roshan Toshniwal | Anish Michael | Madhumitha V | Kush Mohan Mittal | Aishwarya Agarwal | Prakash Gupta | Shaan - | Jagriti Arora

As Kerala comes alive with the vibrant festivities of Onam, it’s the perfect time to celebrate not only the rich cultural heritage but also the strides made towards a more sustainable future! Onam symbolises unity, prosperity, and harmony with nature — values that align perfectly with the vision of sustainable mobility. Just as Onam brings people together in joy and celebration, sustainable mobility brings us closer to a greener, cleaner, and more connected Kerala. 🚲 Promoting Active Mobility: Let’s embrace cycling, walking, and other forms of active mobility to reduce our carbon footprint and promote healthy lifestyles. After all, what better way to explore our beautiful state during Onam than by foot or on two wheels? 🚌 Encouraging Public Transport: From Thiruvananthapuram’s advanced bus networks to Kochi’s eco-friendly metro system, let’s make use of public transport options that minimise traffic, reduce emissions, and enhance accessibility for all. 🔋 Supporting Electric Mobility: With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Kerala, we are moving closer to a future of clean, emission-free travel. Let's support this transition by choosing EVs and advocating for more charging infrastructure across the state. 🌱 Community-Led Initiatives: Just as Onam is a celebration for all, sustainable mobility is a collective effort. Communities, local governments, and organisations are coming together to create pedestrian-friendly streets, promote carpooling, and enhance first and last-mile connectivity. This Onam, let’s celebrate not just with pookalams, sadya, and traditional games, but also by making choices that contribute to a sustainable future for Kerala. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our celebrations are in harmony with our environment. Happy Onam to all! 🌸 Let's move towards a sustainable Kerala! 🚀 #Onam2024 #SustainableMobility #EaseOfMovingInKerala

Pradeep Karuturi recently shared his thoughts on the PM E-DRIVE scheme with the Press Insider. "With PM E-DRIVE doubling the budget for charging infrastructure to ₹2,000 crore, up from the FAME II scheme, we can expect a significant improvement in the current ratio of 1 public charging station for every 178 EVs." Pradeep also highlighted key developments, such as the inclusion of new vehicle categories like e-trucks and e-ambulances, with over 40% of the allocation focused on electrifying buses.

On the eve of #WorldEVDay, Pradeep Karuturi published an opinion editorial in Eenadu newspaper, highlighting two key areas for India's EV ecosystem: localising the supply chain and expanding charging infrastructure. Currently, one public charging station serves approximately 178 EVs. To ensure widespread accessibility, Pradeep suggests targeting a ratio of fewer than 50 EVs per station.

𝐄𝐕-𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚: 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 India is on the fast track to becoming a leader in electric vehicles (EVs), but to fully realise this potential, we must look beyond EV adoption. One crucial yet overlooked area is localizing anode production—a key component of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). Did you know? India’s demand for LiBs is expected to hit 260 GWh per year by 2030, which means 286 kilotonnes of anode material annually! However, domestic production is still in its infancy, with heavy reliance on imports. 🛠️ By leveraging natural graphite reserves and innovative production processes, India has a unique opportunity to lead the way in anode manufacturing. 🌍 Our upcoming issuebrief, "EV-Ready India: Localising Anode Production for a Greener Tomorrow," explores the challenges, enabling factors, and strategic steps to unlock this critical sector's potential. Stay tuned for insights on how India can build a sustainable, self-reliant EV supply chain. ⚡ Read more here https://lnkd.in/gZA99qXf Aishwarya Raman | Pradeep Karuturi | Apoorv Kulkarni | Neha Gupta | Meheli Roy Choudhury | Akhilesh Mahadevan #EVReadyIndia #Sustainability #AnodeProduction #ElectricVehicles #MakeInIndia #EVSupplyChain
