Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage Production-Linked Incentive Scheme

Current GK ( Master) Giovernment Schemes

The proposal of the Department of Heavy Industry to introduce the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme ‘National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage' has been approved by the Union Cabinet.
Aim: With an investment of Rs 18,100 crore, achieve a manufacturing capacity of 50 GWh of ACC and 5 GWh of Niche ACC.
ACCs are a new generation of advanced storage technologies that can store electric energy as electrochemical or chemical energy and then convert it back to electricity as required.
It will also boost electric mobility, which will support three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and heavy vehicles.
At the moment, India is importing Battery Storage Equipment.
The scheme would aid in the country's self-reliant (Atmanirbhar).
