Against the backdrop of national lockdown, the peak electricity demand dropped to about 127.96 gigawatts (GW) on 25 March from about 163.73GW on 20 March. India’s peak demand in FY19 was 168.74GW and touched a record high of 176.72GW in April last year. India has an installed power-generation capacity of 368.69GW. When it comes to Utilities, it is likely that they are prepared to deal with a crisis considering they are providers of critical infrastructure. Having said so, they should prepare the industry for unforeseen hazards or health emergencies. In order to ensure business continuity, these services have to ensure an uninterrupted and dependable supply of electricity. An important webinar which discussed on the role and readiness of electricity.

The government of India has provided significant momentum to the sales of EVs in India through the implementation of the FAME India scheme. Last year, after the implementation of phased manufacturing program for EV’s, OEMs are currently investing heavily in securing their supply chain locally. This webinar focussed on the manufacturing of EV components in the country and the readiness of the EV supply chain.

With the paradigm shift in the battery market, the demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to grow, the strain placed upon the raw material supply chain is expected to be significant. The wide range of raw materials required including lithium, cobalt, nickel sulphate, copper, aluminium and graphite, and changes to supply chains are inevitable. Lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant battery technology in major markets, such as portable electronics, automotive and energy storage systems, Automotive applications accounted for over 70% of total lithium-ion battery shipments in 2019 and the growth is forecasted at a rapid pace. This webinar will touch base on the need for quality supply of raw and refined materials in manufacturing li-ion batteries and the way this industry is scaling up. Speakers: Manohar Bethapudi, AGM-Strategy & BD, Himadri Specialty Chemical Tanmay Sarkar, Senior Consultant, R&D, Customized Energy Solutions
