    2/ Take the battery. 🔋 Battery cells are being made in India now. And now, we’re going inside the battery cell itself.🔍

  4. #4

    3/ A battery cell needs several materials to work. Each layer, each material - is being made in India!

    5/ Then there’s liquid inside a Li-ion battery. It needs special additives that help the battery perform better and last longer. These too are part of India’s growing manufacturing story.

  7. #7

    6/ Go even deeper. A material like acetylene black which helps electricity flow better inside the battery, will be made here. Small material. Important job. ⚡
