Approximately $1.4 billion! India plans 130 billion rupee battery component incentive program

Published: Sep 8, 2026 18:16
Recently, according to India's Business Standard, the Indian government is formulating an advanced battery component incentive program totaling approximately 130 billion rupees (about $1.4 billion). The program's incentive scope covers key battery cell components, including cathode and anode active materials, electrolyte, separators, and copper foil. According to sources familiar with the matter, the program has completed inter-ministerial consultations and is about to be submitted to the Ministry of Finance's Expenditure Finance Committee for approval.

[Solid-State Battery: ProLogium Technology Mass-Produces High-Energy-Density All-Solid-State Battery Gen3.5 Reaching 381 Wh/kg and 903 Wh/L] On September 2, 2026, ProLogium Technology announced that its latest Gen3.5 lithium ceramic battery (LCB) has entered mass production at its Giga-level industrial platform in Taiwan. According to a third-party TÜV test report, the 185.4 Ah large-format cell achieves a volumetric energy density of 903 Wh/L and a gravimetric energy density of 381 Wh/kg, and is classified as an all-solid-state battery under the GB/T43568-2026 standard. Building on more than a decade of commercial mass-production experience and a scalable Giga-level manufacturing platform constructed across three generations of production lines, it meets the demands of EVs and other high-performance applications for lightweight design, driving range, and fast recharging, and will be extended to the Gen4 all-inorganic electrolyte system. On January 23, 2024, the Taoyuan base in Taiwan invested TWD 4.2 billion, approximately CNY 960 million, to build its first production line and begin solid-state battery production. Initial capacity is 0.5 GWh per year, sufficient for 14,000 EVs, with a final scale of 2 GWh.
