India currently possesses only 1 gigawatt hour of battery capacity despite an announced goal of 178 gigawatt hours. The country faces challenges in accessing manufacturing technology compared to rivals like Japan and South Korea. This technological gap threatens India's ability to scale its electric vehicle industry. Experts note that the country is attempting to build many of these industries from scratch.
