The government is proposing a unique 21-character "Battery Pack Aadhaar Number" (BPAN) for electric vehicle batteries. This initiative aims to ensure complete traceability from raw materials to recycling, enhancing transparency and sustainability in the battery ecosystem. The system will track battery performance and environmental impact, facilitating second-life usage and efficient recycling processes.
