‘An Aadhaar system for batteries in the offing’, says Tata Elxsi

Tata Elxsi, a Tata venture, has showcased Battery Aadhaar, a technology platform that can digitalise identities, traceability and circularity of batteries, at the Battery Summit 2025, organised by the World Resources Institute (WRI) India.

The Battery Aadhaar concept was presented by Tata Elxsi, in association with consortioum partners including Tata Motors, Tata AutoComp Systems, IIT Kharagpur, WRI, LOHUM Cleantech, NUNAM Technologies, and Oorja Energy.

Battery Aadhaar represented a national effort to provide batteries with secure, digital identities, enabling traceability, regulatory alignment, and lifecycle transparency—from raw material sourcing to second-life usage and recycling, said a statement issued by Tata Elxsi on Tuesday.

‘’By capturing key lifecycle data such as manufacturer identity, usage history, and material composition, Battery Aadhaar helps prevent unsafe reuse, non-compliance, and environmental risk,’‘ it said.
