Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh stated on Wednesday that low-carbon technology will be essential to reaching the “Net Zero 2070” target, while a strong ecosystem will help India advance toward being the third-largest economy in the world.
In keeping with India’s ambitious “Net Zero by 2070” aim, the minister emphasized that innovation in low-carbon energy sectors and the exploration of undiscovered assets and resources will provide economic value and lower the carbon footprint.
Speaking on the topic of “Addressing Challenges, Driving Innovation and Scaling Solutions,” Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasized that in line with India’s ambitious goal of achieving Net Zero by 2070, innovation in low-carbon energy sectors and the exploration of untapped reserves and resources will both increase economic value and lower carbon footprints.
He also mentioned the recent findings of large lithium reserves in Jammu and Kashmir, which might help reach the “Net Zero 2070” goal. He urged greater efforts to investigate and utilize these underutilized resources.
“Through advancements in battery manufacturing, e-mobility, and sustainable technology ecosystems, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) is playing a pivotal role in advancing India’s clean energy transition,” Dr. Singh stated during the “Battery Summit 2025” held here.
Launching the Battery Aadhaar Initiative under DST was one of the summit’s major announcements. The minister called it a “game changer” that would enable traceability, efficiency, and scalability in India’s battery ecosystem.
Each battery pack would be given a distinct digital identity by the system, which would make it possible to track the battery’s chemistry, manufacturing origin, safety certificates, and lifecycle performance.
Predictive maintenance and effective recycling will be made possible by its monitoring of crucial characteristics like temperature events, charge-discharge cycles, and end-of-life status.
“Battery Aadhaar” would also serve as a regulatory instrument to promote circular economy projects, increase consumer confidence, and stop the proliferation of counterfeit goods.
Battery Aadhaar has the potential to become a key component of India’s developing battery intelligence ecosystem by connecting with national EV databases, AI-enabled diagnostics, and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
