OVERVIEW
India’s electric vehicle battery demand is set to grow very fast. It will rise from 20 GWh in 2025 to 200 GWh by 2032. That is a tenfold increase in just seven years. This estimate comes from a study by the Indian Energy Alliance and Customized Energy Solutions. The study will be released at the 12th India Energy Storage Week in New Delhi from 8 to 10 July. India’s EV sales crossed 2.5 million units in 2025. Two-wheelers lead the market. The study also covers battery chemistry, motor technology, and supply chain localisation.
EV BATTERY DEMAND PROJECTION
A new study has made a big prediction. India’s electric vehicle battery demand will jump from 20 GWh in 2025 to 200 GWh by 2032 . This is a tenfold increase in just seven years. GWh stands for gigawatt-hour . It is a unit used to measure large-scale electrical energy storage and battery capacity. The study was done by the Indian Energy Alliance and Customized Energy Solutions . It will be released at the 12th India Energy Storage Week in New Delhi, which runs from 8 to 10 July .
INDIA’S EV MARKET STRUCTURE
India’s EV market is growing fast. In 2025, total EV sales crossed 2.5 million units . Here is the breakdown:
| Vehicle Type |
Sales in 2025 (million units) |
| Electric two-wheelers |
1.5 |
| Electric three-wheelers |
0.7 |
| Others (cars, etc.) |
0.3 (approx.) |
Electric two-wheelers are the largest volume segment in India’s EV market. However, the next phase of demand growth is expected to come from passenger electric cars and light commercial fleets .
BATTERY CHEMISTRY TECHNOLOGIES
Different EV segments use different battery chemistries.
The study also covers other battery technologies through 2032, including:
MOTOR TECHNOLOGIES IN EVs
The study also looks at motor technology. Two types of motors are common:
