Here is how :
This is a report by Benchmark
Mineral Intelligence , which predicts that , by 2030 :
·
All over the world, there will be 10 mega-factories producing Li-ion batteries ,
with a combined capacity of 299 GWh
·
Of these , 7
will be in China, with a combined capacity of 207
GWh ( 70 % of total )
·
Three other will be , one each in USA ( 50 GWh )
/ Poland ( 22 GWh ) / Korea ( 20 GWh )
Why none in India despite the following report by our
National Energy Storage Mission report of Aug 2018 ?
which says :
·
India would require a minimum of 20 GIGA FACTORIES by 2030 ( for 800 Gwh capacity ) [
40 Gwh per factory ]
If we assume that we manage to put up the very first such Giga
factory in 2020 , then , this would require at least TWO giga-factories to be commissioned EVERY YEAR for
the next 10 YEARS ( 2020 till 2030 )
To know why this is NOT likely to happen , read :
India
: Energy Storage Mission [ 04 Dec
2017 ]
But then, how do the Chinese manage
what seems like a “ losing proposition “ ?
Here is how :
“ Even before the MIC2025 ( Make In China 2025 ) plan came along
however, the industry had been given a boost by government financial backing in the form of ,
·
easier access to funding
·
loosened oversight on overseas acquisitions
·
generous allocation of land for manufacturing
·
subsidies for buyers and free driving licences.”

This helped sales of EVs in China reached 770,000 units last year – more than half of all
new-energy vehicles sold globally.
As against this , in FY 18 , India sold 1200 e-cars ( 40 % drop from 2017 ) !
Chinese government , recently reduced subsidy for e-car to Rs 6.5 Lakh ( from earlier
figure of Rs 10.6 lakh )
As against this , India government offers a subsidy of Rs 1.3 lakh !
Does our Auto Manufacturers have a “ Cost Advantage “ over the Chinese Manufacturers ,
when it comes to :
· Machinery
· Materials
· Manpower
· Energy
· Compliance
· IT / Communications
· Transport /
Logistics
· Training / Skilling
· Systems /
Procedures
· Technology
Acquisition
