Under the said initiative the emphasis of the Government is to achieve greater domestic value addition, while at the same time ensuring that the Levelized cost of battery manufacturing in India is globally competitive.
The manufacturing facility would have to be set up within a period of two years. The incentive will be disbursed thereafter over a period of five years on the sale of batteries manufactured in India.
The program is designed in such a manner that it is technology agnostic. The beneficiary firm shall be free to choose suitably advanced technology and the corresponding plant & machinery, raw material and other intermediate goods for setting up a cell manufacturing facility to cater to any application.
The Program envisages an investment that will boost domestic manufacturing & also facilitate battery storage demand creation for both electric vehicles and stationary storage along with the development of a complete domestic supply chain & Foreign Direct Investment in the country. ACC PLI scheme is expected to result in saving to the nation on account of reduction in import of crude oil to a significant extent and increase the share of renewable energy at the national grid level.
This PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) (Rs18,100cr) along with the already launched PLI Scheme for the automotive sector (Rs25,938cr) and Faster Adaption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) (Rs10,000cr) will enable India to leapfrog from traditional fossil fuel-based automobile transportation system to environmentally cleaner, sustainable, advanced and more efficient Electric Vehicles (EV) based system.
