As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, India is making significant strides in lithium-ion battery technology. The ICeNGESS project, launched by the CSIR, is at the forefront of this revolution. This flagship project aims to create a robust ecosystem for indigenous lithium-ion battery production, empowering Indian industries and paving the way for a cleaner, more energy-secure future.

The project is spearheaded by the CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CSIR-CECRI). Recently, its Chennai Centre inaugurated an 18650-type cylindrical Li-ion battery fabrication facility, securing a production capacity of 1000 cells per day. This facility serves as a crucial bridge between pilot-scale research and the upcoming facility planned for Phase Two…read more on NOPR
