India’s EV Battery Gigafactory Boom Sparks Revolution

India’s move to promote electric vehicles has sparked a massive surge in battery manufacturing, with Reliance and Adani announcing gigafactories. Government incentives through the PLI scheme allocate a total of 18, 100 crore, aiming to achieve 30 GWh capacity by 2030. This move is expected to break China’s 80% market dominance.
