What for ?
For implementing my
3 year old suggestion
What suggestion ?
To introduce an incentive for manufacture of “ cost reducing technology “ in EV battery production, as reported in
following news report :
Four
firms selected for Rs 18,000 crore PLI scheme for ACC battery /
Busi Standard / 24 March 2022
Extract
:
Ø The Government approved the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme
'National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage' for
achieving manufacturing capacity of 50 Giga Watt Hour (GWh) of ACC for enhancing
India's
manufacturing capabilities with a budgetary outlay of Rs 18,100 crore.
Ø Under this initiative, the emphasis of the Government is to achieve
greater domestic value addition, while at the same time ensure that the
levelised cost of battery manufacturing
in India is globally competitive.
Ø The programme is designed in such a manner that it is technology
agnostic. The beneficiary firm shall be free to choose suitable advanced
technology and the corresponding plant and machinery, raw material and
other intermediate goods for setting up cell manufacturing facility to cater to
any application.
Can you be specific about what you had suggested 3
years back ?
Here is an extract
from my e-mail :
FAME
II > FAME III > FAME IV ……………….[ 05 March 2019 ]
Extract :
Ø What , if any , is the shortcoming of just
announced FAME II ?
# It focuses solely on
“ Incentivizing the Buyers “ through subsidies
# There are no “ Incentives “ for the vehicle manufacturers to ramp up
production or commercialize “ Cost reducing “ technologies, especially in
the matter of Lithium-ion batteries which constitute up To 40 % of EV
ex- factory price
# There are no “ dis-incentives “ for manufacture / sale / purchase of
Petrol – Diesel vehicles
# Linking the subsidy amounts with battery size is not the right method . In
fact a vehicle with a
smaller
speed – range – charging time etc ) as a vehicle with a bigger battery,
should be rewarded with higher subsidy !
FAME III ( Apr 22 - Mar
26 ) – 4 years
[ A ]….. MANUFACTURERS
( A.1 ) Policy Instrument > Corporate Income Tax for Incentivizing the
manufacturers of Batteries
Ø Total exemption of Corporate Income Tax for companies exclusively engaged in
the manufacture of :
# Aluminium-Air Batteries ( No need for any roadside battery charging
stations ! )
EV juice from Alu-Air Battery ? [ 16 Jan 2018 ]
Ashok Leyland is not waiting ! [ 17 Jan 2018 ]
Holy Grail for Electric Vehicles [ 17 Feb 2018 ]
# Sodium-ion Batteries ( Reduce battery cost to 10 % of Lithium-ion
Battery cost ! )
Congratulations , Shri
GopuKumarji [ 30 Jan 2019 ]
# Fuel Cell ( based on hydrolysis ) developed by CECRI ( literally FREE
electricity and zero pollution )
Ray , a drop of golden Sun [ 18 Feb 2019 ]
# Other developments in fast-charging batteries ( under 5 minutes for 80
% charge )
A New Battery Could Store Ten Times the Power as Lithium-Ion
Piëch's electric coupe charges to 80 percent in five
minutes
You write about FAME IV , ( spanning April 2026 –
March 2030 ). Have you made any suggestions for this period ?
Yes – plenty of suggestions which you may want to look
up at :
FAME
II > FAME III > FAME IV ……………….[ 05 March 2019 ]
Do you think the Government will implement these (
even with modifications ) ?
Not unless MNRE
gets more powers as suggested in following news report :
House
Panel questions powers of MNRE /
Business Line / 25 March 2022
Extract :
Ø As India pursues its ambitious target of 500 gigawatts (GW) non-fossil fuel
power capacity with 50 per cent consumption coming from renewable
energy (RE) sources by 2030, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
(MNRE) — the nodal agency responsible for India’s RE resources — rues its
lack of powers, even for issuing
guidelines, after three decades of existence.
