During Budget 2022-2023, the government announced plans to introduce a Battery Swapping Policy and interoperability standards, with the intent of building and improving the efficiency of the battery swapping ecosystem, thereby driving EV adoption. For this, NITI Aayog has published a consultation paper on the draft battery swapping policy.

The key objectives of this policy (as provided in the consultation paper) are to:

  1. Promote swapping of batteries with Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) batteries to decouple battery costs from the upfront costs of purchasing EVs, thereby driving EV adoption.
  2. Offer flexibility to EV users by promoting the development of battery swapping as an alternative to charging facilities.
  3. Establish principles behind technical standards that would enable the interoperability of components within a battery swapping ecosystem, without hindering market-led innovation
  4. Leverage policy and regulatory levers to de-risk the battery swapping ecosystem, to unlock access to competitive financing.
  5. Encourage partnerships among battery providers, battery OEMs and other relevant partners such insurance/financing, thereby encouraging the formation of ecosystems capable of delivering integrated services to end users.
  6. Promote better lifecycle management of batteries, including maximizing the use of batteries during their usable lifetime, and end of life battery recycling.

We are seeking inputs on the consultation paper. Should you have any inputs, kindly write to apurva@nasscom.in and tejasvi@nasscom.in by June 1.
