Rethinking battery strategy in India: the case for sodium-ion technology

India’s dependence on lithium-ion batteries exposes structural constraints linked to critical minerals, import dependence, and supply security; sodium-ion batteries emerge as a safer alternative with lower material risk, compatible with existing infrastructure, and the potential to strengthen energy securityIndia’s dependence on lithium-ion batteries exposes structural constraints linked to critical minerals, import dependence, and supply security; sodium-ion batteries emerge as a safer alternative with lower material risk, compatible with existing infrastructure, and the potential to strengthen energy security https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/rethinking-battery-strategy-in-india-the-case-for-sodium-ion-technology/article70595967.ece 2026-02-05T17:59:32.000Z Science {}
