Tata Elxsi, a global leader in engineering and innovation, introduced the Battery Aadhaar technology at the Battery Summit 2025, organized by the World Resources Institute (WRI) India. The presentation was part of a collaborative effort aimed at advancing India’s goals for sustainable mobility and circular energy systems. The project received support through the UNEP-led ‘Electrifying Mobility in Cities’ initiative, coordinated by NITI Aayog and the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
During the summit, Tata Elxsi, alongside key partners such as Tata Motors, Tata AutoComp Systems (TACO), IIT Kharagpur, WRI, LOHUM Cleantech, NUNAM Technologies, and Oorja Energy, introduced Battery Aadhaar to Hon’ble Minister Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, and other key government officials. This solution aims to establish a comprehensive, Indian-led battery ecosystem.
Battery Aadhaar is a national initiative to assign secure, digital identities to batteries, ensuring full traceability, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle transparency—from raw material sourcing to second-life usage and recycling. By capturing critical lifecycle data—such as manufacturer details, usage history, and material composition—Battery Aadhaar helps mitigate risks associated with unsafe reuse and environmental concerns.
Developed on Tata Elxsi’s MOBIUS+ platform, the solution integrates blockchain-based traceability, dynamic data flows, and automated compliance reporting. This platform lays the groundwork for a trusted, transparent, and digital battery ecosystem in India.
The demonstration showcased several key features of the Battery Aadhaar system, including the creation of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for each battery, along with comprehensive chain of custody and lifecycle mapping. It provided both public and private data access views, ensuring transparency while safeguarding sensitive information.
Additionally, role-specific dashboards were designed for stakeholders such as OEMs, battery manufacturers, recyclers, and regulators, allowing them to access relevant insights. Real-time analytics were also featured, offering battery health predictions and estimates of residual life, enhancing the overall decision-making process for managing battery assets. The platform is designed to align with evolving Indian regulatory frameworks while being adaptable to international regulations like the EU Battery Regulation and emerging standards in Japan and North America, as well as future global battery passport specifications.
Anil Radhakrishnan, Chief Product Officer at Tata Elxsi, commented: “MOBIUS+ is crafted to drive the transition toward a cleaner mobility future by promoting digital transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance through initiatives like Battery Aadhaar. Our vision is to provide scalable, future-ready solutions that support India’s green growth aspirations.”
The MOBIUS+ platform features an AI Copilot layer that assists in interpreting regulations, ensuring data quality, and automating compliance reporting. Its modular design allows for easy integration of ecosystem participants, while blockchain ensures the integrity of audit trails. Attendees at the Battery Summit had the opportunity to experience a live demonstration, including QR code access to real-time battery data, showcasing the future of policy-compliant digital infrastructure for batteries.
