The Transport Ministry has proposed assigning Aadhaar-like unique identification numbers to EV batteries to ensure their end-to-end traceability and efficient recycling.
The proposed framework will make it mandatory for battery producers or importers to assign a 21-character Battery Pack Aadhaar Number (BPAN) to batteries, as per draft guidelines from the Ministry. They will also have to upload the relevant Battery Pack Dynamic data on the official portal of BPAN.
