Although Lithium-ion batteries constitute the largest cost of EV powertrain components, still India is importing Li-ion cells from Taiwan or China. Indian battery makers are using the cells to assemble them into battery packs. Hence we have compiled a list of companies that are manufacturing EV powertrain components in India.

Core Components of EV Powertrain
Our post focuses on the core powertrain components of EV applications in 2W, 3W, 4W, LCVs, Electric Motors, DC Convertors and Controllers. As per the recent ACMA report, the import of auto components increased from Rs 106,672 crore (USD 15.9 billion) in 2017-18 to Rs 1,23,688 crores (USD 17.6 billion) in 2018-19. Asia accounted for 61 % of imports followed by North America (8%) and Europe (29%).
The article will focus on the Indian manufacturers and the components they are making and the products that are market-ready. The Indian automotive industry is taking steps towards curbing imports to establish robust supply chains in the country.
