It will provide EV battery manufacturers, specifically in the eastern India, with reliable, internationally recognized testing and certification, ensuring product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.
This facility will serve as a national benchmark for EV quality assurance, providing manufacturers with early fault detection, enhancing product reliability, and ensuring compliance with stringent safety and performance regulations, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs said in a statement.
It will also significantly boost confidence among EV users and accelerate India’s journey towards green mobility, it added.
The establishment of this facility reflects the Government of India’s commitment to creating a robust EV ecosystem, reducing import dependency, and empowering domestic manufacturers with affordable testing services.
With this development, NTH reinforces its role as a key enabler in India’s transition to sustainable transportation and a global leader in quality assurance infrastructure.
Electric Vehicles are at the forefront of the global transition to eco-friendly mobility solutions, playing a crucial role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering emissions. India has set an ambitious goal of achieving 30% EV penetration by 2030.
