SEPTEMBER 20238INDIA'S ACC BATTERY MARKET DEMAND IS EXPECTED TO REACH 220 GWH BY 2030INDIA'S SAHASRA SEMICONDUCTOR TO BEGIN CHIPS PRODUCTION FROM SEPTEMBERThe market demand for advanced chemistry cell (ACC) batteries in India is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 50 Percentage from 20 GWh in 2022 to over 220 GWh by 2030. A sizable percentage of the whole value chain, from material processing to pack assembly and integration, is anticipated to be localised in India in order to support the booming domestic battery manufacturing industry and a strong local supply chain."The battery that powers the car's motor plays a big role in EVs. For the development of more effective EVs, advancements in battery technology are essential, according to Vipin Sondhi, chairman of the CII National Committee on Future Mobility and a former CEO and MD of JCB and Ashok Leyland. In order to challenge China's dominance in the field, Sondhi continued, "It is imperative for India to The first commercial production of Made in India memory chips will start in late September or early October, according to Varun Manwani, the chief executive officer of Sahasra Semiconductor, situated in Rajasthan. This indicates that Sahasra will manufacture chips in India before than Micron. In the Bhiwadi district, the business has established its semiconductor assembly, test, and packaging facility from which it will initially package basic memory items like MicroSD cards, chip-on-board, etc. before progressing to more complex packaging of products like internal memory chips.Sahasra Semiconductor is eligible for a 25 Percentage financial incentive on capital expenditures under the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS). Sahasra is more not only strengthen the national battery raw materials and manufacturing set-up but also to become a globally reputable supplier of high-quality, innovative battery materials."The expansion of local mining is necessary because the nation's reserves, production capacity, and refining capacity for a number of primary minerals, including cobalt, nickel, and copper, are extremely low. Additionally, they are urged to reduce the customs charge on essential minerals used in battery production and to encourage the construction of mineral processing facilities to extract necessary materials.India needs to develop a battery chemical processing industry on par with other battery manufacturing stages and that this can be done by providing incentives from the government, increasing funding for R&D, collaborating with nations that have advanced technology, and simplifying regulations pertaining to the chemical industry, such as those governing licences and environmental protection.In order to increase domestic battery cell production, the government this month announced the re-bidding of production-linked incentives for 20 GWh Advanced Chemistry Cell manufacturing India. The latest generation of sophisticated storage technologies, known as advanced chemistry cells (ACCs), may store electrical energy as either electrochemical or chemical energy and then convert it back to electrical energy as and when needed. of an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) company, which means they build and package chips for other brands as opposed to Micron, which makes its own chips."We will launch chip manufacture as the first Indian semiconductor company. The company receives orders from small and medium sized businesses to create chips for them, and is also exploring export potential, Manwani said. "We actually completed some trial production in March, and the commercial production will start somewhere in September and early October.The company will invest Rs 600 crore over a five- to six-year period in infrastructure development and chip production. Sahasra has so far committed close to Rs 110 crore to the initial stage of chip assembly and packaging. As internal memory is now a standard feature on all smartphones and other electronic gadgets, the chip is now internal. We will probably use that more modern packaging within the next 18 months. Chips would initially be packaged in a rudimentary manner, Manwani continued. TOPSTORY
