India Considers ₹500 Crore for Battery Testing

The Indian government is thinking about spending ₹500 crore in the next budget to set up places to test and certify batteries.

These batteries are important for storing energy from wind and solar power, which can then be used anytime.

The money will also help with research and development.

Right now, India doesn't have enough places to test batteries, and many are sent to China for testing.

This can be expensive and slow.

The government wants to make sure batteries are safe, especially for electric vehicles, because there have been some fires.

They also want to reduce the need for Chinese-made parts.

This plan is part of a bigger goal to have more battery storage in India by 2032.
