India’s EV growth runs through China’s battery-management systems
India’s EV market is increasingly exposed to Chinese battery-management-system imports, which account for roughly 80% of heavy-duty BMS supply. App bans and potential cybersecurity rules could reshape sourcing, software updates and market access for EV makers.
India’s growing EV market relies heavily on Chinese battery-management-system imports, creating cybersecurity and supply risks. The government has banned certain Chinese BMS apps and is considering stricter software-update and cybersecurity rules as it weighs its broader China EV strategy.
Why this matters
The supply-chain risk emerges as India EV market registrations rose 63% YoY to 307,752 units in July, linking rapid demand growth to dependence on Chinese BMS hardware and software.
