Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Mobility on the Move - Finally








From the following news report , it seems Mobility may finally get moving :
 The mission will recommend and drive the strategies for transformative mobility and Phased Manufacturing Programmes for EVs, EV Components and Batteries.

 The Phased Manufacturing Program will be launched to localise production across the entire EV value chain and the National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage will determine the final details of the programme

 The details of the value addition that can be achieved with each phase of localisation will be finalised by the mission with a clear make in india strategy for the electric vehicle components as well as battery.

 The mission will also coordinate with the key stakeholders in the ministries and departments and the states to integrate various initiatives to transform mobility in India.

 A phased roadmap to implement battery manufacturing at Giga-scale will be considered with an initial focus on a large-scale module and pack assembly plants by 2019-20, followed by integrated cell manufacturing by 2021-22.

 The details of the PMP for Batteries shall be formulated by the mission. The mission will ensure the holistic and comprehensive growth of the battery manufacturing industry in India.

• It will also prepare the necessary roadmap that will enable India to leverage upon its size and scale to produce innovative, competitive multi-modal mobility solutions that can be deployed globally in diverse contexts.

 Further, the mission will define the roadmap for transformative mobility in ‘New India’ by introducing a sustainable mobility ecosystem and fostering Make-in-India to boost domestic manufacturing and employment generation in the country.

I urge Committee Chairman , Shri Amitabh Kant ( CEO – NITI Aayog ) to consider my following earlier emails on these topics :

[ A ]     STRATEGIES FOR TRANSFORMATIVE MOBILITY
            Speaking at the Global Mobility Summit , Shri Modiji had said :

                  “ My vision for the future of mobility in India is based on 7 Cs :

             Common , Connected , Convenient , Congestion-free Charged , Clean , Cutting Edge “


Following are my suggested “ Strategies :

[ B ]    PHASED  MANUFACTURING  PROGRAM  /  EACH  PHASE  OF  LOCALIZATION

2 years ago, following was written in the context of encouraging TESLA to set up manufacturing facility in India
With some changes, this 5 year phased program could still apply to any foreign E Vehicle manufacturers
As far as existing Indian Manufacturers are concerned, this could perhaps get telescoped into 3 years if their basic platform remains, more or less , the existing  

2017-18  :
Set up factory next to Mundra Port ( Gujarat ) to facilitate world-wide exports



2018-19  :
Source locally , Tyres / Chasis / Body / Electricals  / Windows / Dashboards ..etc



2019-20   :
Manufacture in your own factory , Li-ion Battery  / Wall-mounted Powerpack Storages /
Solar Roof Tiles



2020-21  :
Manufacture  RFID Sensors - Cameras – GPS locators



2021-22   :
Augmented Reality  Devices  /  Autonomous Navigation Devices ( Radar – Lidar  )

[ C ]    INTEGRATING  VARIOUS  INITIATIVES

==============================================================================
[ D ]    BATTERY  MANUFACTURING  AT  GIGA – SCALE

WHAT  IS  THE  WAY  OUT  :


·   Government to launch “ Battery Infra SPV “


·  Under Indonesia type “ Black Money Amnesty Scheme “ enable stashed away Black Money to come out in the official banking channel ( through deposits made in “ INFRA ACCOUNTS “ – like Jan Dhan Accounts ) . Remember , Indonesia managed to raise $ 342 Billions !


Read :



·  Such converted ( Black to White ) monies can only be invested in “ Battery Infra SPV “


Hoping for any other way to raise such HUGE amounts of “ Risk Free “  and  “  Interest Free “ funds , in such a short time , would only amount to  WISHFUL  THINKING  !
