About Battery Aadhaar Initiative:
- It aims to provide batteries with secure, digital identities, facilitating traceability and improving lifecycle transparency.
- This system would assign a unique digital identity to each battery pack, enabling the tracking of manufacturing origin, battery chemistry, safety certifications and lifecycle performance
- The initiative seeks to prevent unsafe reuse and mitigate environmental risks.
- This approach ensures compliance with regulatory standards and promotes sustainable practices within the battery industry.
- It is supported by a UNEP-led programme named 'Electrifying Mobility in Cities', coordinated by NITI Aayog and the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
- Key features include Digital Product Passport creation, lifecycle mapping, public and private data access, role-based dashboards, and real-time battery analytics such as health prediction and residual life estimation.
- It is built on blockchain, MOBIUS+ ensures transparent data flows and tamper-proof audit trails.
- This support highlights the initiative's alignment with India's broader sustainable mobility goals and efforts to establish circular energy systems.
