India's PLI Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage | 11 Dec 2025
Ola is currently the only beneficiary under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage with an established manufacturing capacity of 1 GWh.
- PLI ACC: Government of India has approved the PLI-ACC scheme "National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage" in May 2021, with an outlay of Rs 18,100 Crore for 50 GWh ACC capacity.
- The scheme is technology-agnostic, allowing firms to choose suitable advanced technologies and inputs.
- Objective of PLI ACC: It aims to boost domestic value addition, ensure globally competitive battery costs, strengthen the EV and stationary storage ecosystem, attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and build a complete domestic supply chain.
- Along with Faster Adaption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) and the Automobile PLI scheme, it supports India’s shift towards a clean, sustainable, and self-reliant Electric Vehicles (EV) ecosystem under Atmanirbhar Bharat.
- Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACCs): These are the energy storage technologies that store energy in electrochemical or chemical form and reconvert it into electricity when required.
