But he says a lithium ion with a price of about Rs 30,000 can last for nearly eight years.
With local batteries narasimhan said his company plans to build a bus that can travel 500 km at a speed of 150 km/h for a single charge and develop a fast charging system, in this system.
In addition to the 1GW plant, Krishnagiri will also set up a 300 MW battery assembly plant, a battery manufacturing plant and a lithium recycling plant, Narasimhan said. CSIR-
Vijayamhan K Pillai, director of CECRI, said his laboratory is working with the National Metallurgical Laboratory and the Institute of mineral and material technology to develop lithium recovery technologies.
All batteries currently used are imported from countries such as China.
Once we are localized, the cost will be reduced.
For manufacturers, they can produce more vehicles and export them at a lower cost.
