About Battery Aadhaar Initiative:

• What It Is?

• Battery Aadhaar is a digital identification system for batteries, designed to enable full traceability across their lifecycle using secure, blockchain-backed technologies.

• Developed By: Spearheaded by Tata Elxsi through its MOBIUS+ platform, in collaboration with Tata Motors, Tata AutoComp Systems, and IIT Kharagpur.

• Objective:

• To assign unique digital IDs to each battery, enabling safe use, regulated reuse, and efficient disposal. To align battery usage with national and global compliance standards like the EU Battery Regulation.
