Tata Elxsi, a global leader in product engineering and innovation, unveiled its technology demonstrator of Battery Aadhaar at the Battery Summit 2025, organized by the World Resources Institute (WRI) India. The presentation was part of a consortium-led initiative aligned with India’s vision for sustainable mobility and circular energy systems. This initiative is supported by the UNEP-led programme Electrifying Mobility in Cities, and coordinated by NITI Aayog along with the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
Tata Elxsi, in collaboration with key consortium partners including Tata Motors, Tata AutoComp Systems (TACO), IIT Kharagpur, WRI, LOHUM Cleantech, NUNAM Technologies, and Oorja Energy, introduced the Battery Aadhaar concept to Hon’ble Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for the Ministry of Science and Technology, as well as other senior government stakeholders. The concept aims to serve as an end-to-end enabler of India’s battery ecosystem.
Battery Aadhaar is a national initiative to assign secure, digital identities to batteries, enabling comprehensive traceability, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle transparency—from raw material sourcing through second-life usage to recycling. By capturing essential lifecycle data, such as manufacturer details, usage history, and material composition, it addresses critical issues such as unsafe reuse, regulatory non-compliance, and environmental hazards.
Built on Tata Elxsi’s MOBIUS+ platform, the solution integrates blockchain-based traceability, dynamic data flows, and automated compliance reporting. Through MOBIUS+, Tata Elxsi is laying the groundwork for a secure, transparent, and digitally empowered battery ecosystem in India.
The demonstration highlighted key capabilities such as the creation of a unique Battery Aadhaar and Digital Product Passport (DPP), lifecycle mapping with chain-of-custody tracking, and differentiated access to both public and private data. It also showcased role-specific dashboards for OEMs, battery manufacturers, recyclers, and regulators, along with real-time analytics for battery health prediction and estimation of residual useful life.
The platform is designed to align with evolving Indian regulatory frameworks and is adaptable to international standards, including the EU Battery Regulation and emerging norms in Japan and North America. Anil Radhakrishnan, Chief Product Officer at Tata Elxsi, emphasized that MOBIUS+ aims to drive the transition to clean mobility by ensuring digital transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance. He added that the platform is intended to empower all stakeholders with scalable, future-ready solutions that contribute to India’s green growth objectives.
MOBIUS+ also features an AI Copilot layer to aid in interpreting regulations, conducting data quality checks, and automating reporting. Its modular design allows for the seamless onboarding of ecosystem partners, while blockchain functionality ensures secure, tamper-proof audit trails.
Delegates at the Battery Summit experienced a live demonstration that included QR code-based access to real-time battery data, offering a practical glimpse into the future of digital battery infrastructure aligned with policy and innovation.
