Charging battery is a major barrier in large scale EV adoption across India. How is the government tackling it? InfinityX Innovations Pvt Ltd To Set Up Automated Battery Swapping Infrastructure For EVs.
The Technology Development Board, part of Department of Science & Technology under Government of India has signed an agreement with InfinityX Innovations, a company based in Bengaluru for battery swapping stations for electric vehicles.
The agreement is for a project where company will set up infrastructure for automated battery swapping stations for electric vehicles.
TDB has extended financial assistance to support the commercialisation and scale-up of an indigenous battery swapping ecosystem in the country.
The project focuses on developing and deploying automated, IoT-enabled battery swapping stations. These stations are designed to enhance efficiency of electric mobility operations.
According to the company, the swapping stations will enable a quick 40-second battery swap, addressing a major barrier to EV adoption – the charging time.
The solution developed by InfinityX Innovations Private Limited adds up advanced battery systems with automated swapping infrastructure. It also offers a high thermal stability and operational reliability across diverse Indian conditions. The modular battery architecture used by the company allows compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms.
This system is designed mainly to support high-utilisation use cases, making it particularly suitable for gig economy workers and fleet operators transitioning to electric mobility.
With TDB support, the company will establish a dedicated manufacturing facility in Bengaluru to scale production of battery packs and automated swapping stations.
The initiative is expected to reduce reliance on imported technologies for battery swapping.
TDB Secretary Rajesh Kumar Pathak said, “Accelerating the deployment of efficient and scalable charging alternatives is critical for the growth of India’s electric mobility ecosystem.” He also notes that indigenous innovations such as automated battery swapping systems can play a transformative role in enabling faster EV adoption, particularly in high-demand commercial segments, while advancing the objectives of self-reliance in clean mobility technologies.
CEO and Founder of InfinityX Innovations Private Limited, expressed his appreciation for the support and said that the assistance will enable rapid scale-up of the company’s technology platform. He highlighted that reducing battery transition time to under 40 seconds makes EV energy replenishment comparable to conventional refuelling, thereby improving operational efficiency and accessibility for users.
