The show is scheduled for October 22–24 2026, at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida
Fourth edition of The Battery Show India, organised by Informa Markets in India later this month, is expected to feature 300 exhibitors and 400+ brands, providing a platform for businesses across EVs, stationary storage, grid-scale BESS and domestic battery manufacturing. The event will run alongside the Renewable Energy India Expo and Energy Storage Summit India, with 40+ conference sessions across four halls, an Energy Storage Summit, four CXO conclaves and more than 500 industry representatives participating as speakers and moderators.
The show is scheduled for October 22–24, 2026, at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida.
Industry stakeholders at a media roundtable in Pune on Wednesday discussed India’s evolving battery, electric mobility and energy storage ecosystem. The discussions highlighted India’s automotive and engineering ecosystem, growing EV capabilities and its strategic relevance to the development of domestic battery and energy storage value chain.
The dialogue featured senior voices from across the battery, EV, automation and manufacturing ecosystem, with speakers including Mr.Prashant Kharade, Chief Operating Officer, Ador Digatron; Mr. Hiren Shah, Managing Director & CEO, Replus Engitech; Mr. Prajyot Sathe, Research Director – Mobility – Electric Vehicles, Frost & Sullivan; Mr. Suyog Kelsukar, Senior Director, IGS, 1lattice; Mr. Manoj Patil, Chairman & Managing Director, Patil Automation Ltd.; and Mr. Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India.
Prajyot Sathe, Research Director – Mobility Electric Vehicles, Frost & Sullivan, said “India’s electric vehicle market has evolved significantly over the past decade, with the country moving from a nascent market in 2015–16 to a market supported by stronger government initiatives, regulations and policy backing. Within the EV ecosystem, we see a clear progression from electric two-wheelers to three-wheelers and light commercial vehicles, followed by electric buses, while passenger cars are developing at a later stage. In calendar year 2025, India’s battery electric passenger car market stood at around 178,000 units, compared with approximately 99,000 units in 2024, and we expect it to reach around 180,000–190,000 units in 2026. Looking further ahead, we expect annual passenger EV sales to reach about 1.5 million units by 2032.
The next phase will be shaped by advanced battery systems, supply-chain localisation and interoperable charging infrastructure. LFP has emerged as the dominant chemistry, while sodium-ion, lithium-sulphur and solid-state batteries are being explored for the next four to six years. Component localisation is currently around 50–60% and could reach 80–90% over the next five to six years, although battery and power electronics are expected to remain below 60%. Localisation must also deliver cost efficiency to build a competitive domestic ecosystem.
Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India, said “India’s electric mobility market is moving into a phase where the scale of adoption is increasingly shaping the requirements for a stronger domestic battery ecosystem. The country recorded nearly 1.97 million EV registrations in FY2024–25, with electric two-wheelers alone accounting for about 1.15 million registrations. This momentum makes it increasingly important to build capabilities not just in vehicle manufacturing, but across cells, battery management systems, power electronics, testing, safety, recycling and energy storage. Pune, with its strong automotive and engineering ecosystem, is an important part of this conversation. Through The Battery Show India, we aim to connect the wider value chain and create a platform where technology providers, manufacturers and industry leaders can address the opportunities emerging from India’s accelerating transition towards electric mobility and energy storage.”
