Where it fits
The flat 'skateboard' pack under the floor that stores the vehicle's energy via lithium-ion cells and the modules/BMS wiring that bind them together.
Why it matters
Battery cost and chemistry are the single biggest lever on an EV's price and range, and the layer India is most dependent on imported cell technology for.
Where the value pool sits
Cell chemistry and pack engineering carry the deepest margins and IP moat in the car, while legacy lead-acid makers entering Li-ion capture a smaller, more commoditised slice.
Key drivers
EV volume growth and rising battery pack sizes
PLI incentives for domestic cell manufacturing (ACC scheme)
Falling cell costs per kWh
Shift from lead-acid incumbents into Li-ion
Potential bottlenecks
Domestic Li-ion cell manufacturing capacity is still nascent and import-dependent
Cell chemistry and cathode material supply chains run largely through China
Scaling gigafactory-grade quality control from pilot lines
