Centre doesn’t want to limit EV battery sizes, but will set safety and performance standards

The Government of India is not looking to set standards for sizes but is working on setting safety and performance standards for batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) in its upcoming battery-swapping policy. This update comes a few days after Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal held a meeting with stakeholders in the EV industry to decide on a common form, shape and size of the battery towards finalising the draft battery-swapping policy.
