The cost of raw materials, particularly lithium carbonate, plays a significant role in the pricing of lithium-ion batteries. The recent decrease in lithium prices has been a major factor in lowering battery costs. As lithium is a key component in these batteries, fluctuations in its price directly impact the overall cost of battery production.
India imported $929 million worth of lithium batteries in the first eight months of the 2019-20 financial year. This is a significant increase from the $384 million worth imported in 2016-17. The data also shows a 300% spike in lithium battery imports, with 71.2 crore units worth $1.2 billion imported in 2018-19.
