The article discusses the need for a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for battery recycling in India. Battery recycling plays a crucial role in achieving eco-sustainability and resource circularity, as well as maximizing the economic benefits of clean technologies. PLI schemes have been successful in boosting the manufacturing sector and attracting foreign investment. Implementing a PLI scheme for battery recycling would incentivize companies to invest in capacity building, innovation, and resource efficiency. It would not only benefit the battery industry but also other sectors such as renewables, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and more.

GTRI states that the Indian government should allow the domestic EV sector to grow organically without heavy reliance on incentives, in order to prevent India from becoming dependent on China for EV manufacturing. GTRI also suggests investing in battery recycling infrastructure and supporting clean energy sources for EV charging stations.
