Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has offered to transfer its lithium-ion cell technology to Indian companies to support them in establishing domestic cell production facilities.

VSSC has issued a request for qualification (RfQ) to qualify and shortlist suitable industries in India. The technology transfer will be on a non-exclusive basis.

A release from the Department of Space said this initiative is expected to contribute to India’s Zero Emission Policy and accelerate the development of the domestic EV industry.
