‘The Battery Show India 2025’ to Hold its Third Edition in Greater Noida from October 30

Industry Leaders Gather in Pune to Discuss the Future of Clean Energy

Pune : Informa Markets in India, the country’s leading exhibition organizer, will host the third edition of “The Battery Show India (TBSI) 2025” in conjunction with “Renewable Energy India (REI)” from October 30 to November 1, 2025, at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida.
Ahead of the main event, a pre-conference discussion was organized on October 15 at JW Marriott, Pune, where key stakeholders from the energy storage and electric mobility ecosystem came together to deliberate on the sector’s growth trajectory, technological advancements, and emerging opportunities. The session brought together prominent industry leaders driving India’s clean energy transition, including Mr. Kapil Vaidya, Vice President, Energy in Motion; Mr. Trivikram Apte, Head of Sales, Ador Digatron Pvt. Ltd.; Mr. Prajyot Sathe, Head of Electric Vehicles Research, Frost & Sullivan; Ms. Apoorva Bedekar, CEO, Cordwood Technologies LLP; Mr. Ramnik Singh, Country Head – India, Gamma CAE Technologies Pvt. Ltd.; and Mr. Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India.

Supported by the Department of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Heavy Industries, The Battery Show India will be India’s largest dedicated platform for the battery and energy storage sector. The event will feature over 350 exhibitors and 400 brands from leading international markets such as Japan, the USA, Korea, and China, showcasing cutting-edge advancements in cell manufacturing, materials processing, and energy storage systems. With more than 20,000 trade visitors and over 100 high-profile speakers expected to attend, the show will serve as a key hub for technology transfer and investment across the entire EV and energy storage value chain.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India, said,
“India’s battery and energy storage ecosystem is witnessing rapid growth driven by the accelerated adoption of electric vehicles, integration of renewable energy, and advances in battery technology. Through The Battery Show India, our goal is to create a dynamic platform that brings together innovators, policymakers, and global leaders to accelerate India’s clean energy and battery ecosystem. The 2025 edition will further highlight next-generation storage solutions and technologies shaping the future of sustainable mobility.”

Mr. Prajyot Sathe, Head of Electric Vehicles Research, Frost & Sullivan, added,
“The global electric passenger car market is evolving rapidly and is expected to reach nearly 21 million units by the end of 2025. Of these, battery electric vehicles currently account for 60–70%, while plug-in hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles make up the remaining 30–35%, reflecting the recent surge in hybrid adoption.

In comparison, India’s passenger EV market reached approximately 99,000 units in 2024 and is projected by Frost & Sullivan to touch about 1,40,000 units in 2025. Nearly 99.9% of these will be pure battery electric vehicles, as plug-in hybrids have yet to gain significant traction. Looking ahead, the Indian market is expected to grow to around 7,00,000 units by 2030, representing 7–8% of total passenger vehicle sales.”

Ms. Apoorva Bedekar, CEO, Cordwood Technologies LLP, stated,
“The growing demand for efficient battery management systems in electric vehicles and energy storage systems is driving innovation in India. While large-scale ESS systems are still partially imported from China in semi-knocked-down form, there is a strong push toward developing technologies indigenously tailored to Indian conditions.

To enable this transition, it is crucial to strengthen local R&D, certification frameworks, and collaboration between OEMs and technology developers. By leveraging domestic supply chains and resources to create ‘India-first’ products, the nation can pave the way for greater self-reliance and technological maturity in its battery ecosystem.”

Mr. Ramnik Singh, Country Head – India, Gamma CAE Technologies Pvt. Ltd., said,
“Since 2018, electrification has remained a central focus, with an initial global target of achieving 30% EV adoption by 2030. However, current estimates now range between 7% and 15% of total OEM sales, indicating a shift toward a technology-agnostic powertrain mix.
In the future, we will see a blend of electric, hybrid, and range-extended vehicles designed to deliver better efficiency, affordability, and reduced range anxiety.”
