“Battery Swapping policy: The good and not so good aspects for EVs”
By Venkat Rajaraman, CEO and Founder, Cygni
Currently, more than 50 percent of small EV batteries in India are fitted with low-quality Battery Monitoring Systems(BMS). Under the new swapping policy, such cheap hardware will go out of the door as the policy mandates all swappable batteries.

Electric Vehicles are the talk of the town. The EV segment is growing in India at a rapid pace, especially the two-wheeler segment. We have multiple EV players in this category and to boost the EV revolution, there are local battery makers as well.

“Battery swapping policy needs to look into these points too”
By Venkat Rajaraman, CEO and Founder, Cygni
NITI Aayog’s recently released draft battery swapping policy signals a dawn of a new era for the eMobility in India.
There are a few areas that are left open, and the draft policy doesn’t address them fully. Closure on these is very important for adoption to take-off. The first one is the standardization in terms of the battery dimensions, connectors, size, voltage, etc.

“2022 insights- Breakthrough in Indian Battery technology”
By Venkat Rajaraman, CEO and Founder, Cygni
Lithium-ion battery picked up pace in the mid-1980s where three professors, John B. Goodenough, along with Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshio got Nobel Prize for inventing the lithium-ion battery. Basically, there are two predominant cell chemistries. One is LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) and the other is NMC (Nickel, Manganese Cobalt) cell. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. The battery itself is a trade-off among various parameters. Typically, the tradeoff happens across multiple verticals. And you do the tradeoff between the energy density, the safety, the long life, faster charging, and all of them. This is a tradeoff.

A lithium-ion battery is a tradeoff across various parameters – high range, fast charging, higher energy density, lifecycle, and the affordability factor, which is particularly important to Indians.
It is a well-known fact that India doesn’t have much of minerals needed for battery cell manufacturing, be it Lithium, Cobalt or Nickel. So, India needs to rely on battery recycling and needs a large number of zero effluent recycling plants.
Cygni Energy Private Limited selected as a Winner of IET India “The Mobility Award 2021” for contribution towards Indian Engineering and Technology.
IET India (The Institution of Engineering and Technology) is the most relevant and most preferred institution for Engineering and Technology professionals with over 13,000 members (largest membership outside of UK).
