As India races toward deploying 50,000 electric buses by 2030, battery circularity has become the make-or-break factor for sustainable scale-up.

With projected battery waste reaching 59 GWh by 2030, a closed-loop ecosystem with spanning first-life optimisation, second-life repurposing for stationary storage, and high-efficiency recycling, is no longer optional but imperative.

This is especially critical given India’s import dependence for critical minerals, harsh operating conditions that accelerate degradation, and an informal recycling sector lacking traceability.

Without structured circularity, the e-bus revolution risks becoming an e-waste crisis, undermining both economic viability and India’s Net Zero 2070 goal.

This webinar brings together policy makers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), battery manufacturers, recyclers, and transit leaders to chart actionable pathways for a circular battery economy that secures supply chains, unlocks value, and ensures a truly sustainable mobility transition.

What You Will Learn

Some of the topical issues that the webinar aims to discuss are:

  • Best practices in battery management
  • Second-life business models
  • Infrastructure and policy frameworks
  • Financing and ecosystem collaboration

Who is it for?

All public transport stakeholders including authorities, operators, battery manufacturers, recyclers, industry and academia who are interested to learn from best practices.
