MIL will easily be able to match or even beat imported rates because of capital & operational incentives provided by Centre and State, and import duties (which is likely to get levied in accordance to Phased Manufacturing Program [PMP] for encouraging ‘Make in India’ initiative of Government of India
Locally produced cells can add to a host of benefits vs imports in terms of hassles of delay in transit and clearances, hassles of imports, hassles of developing samples, checks & approvals, etc. Delays in product development or shipments can affect factories production schedules badly and also hamper sales targets giving upper edge to competitors.
Lithium cells import by air is restricted by IATA and importing by sea takes longer time resulting in higher working capital needs and risks of obsolesce as many models get out of market in very short time.
The factories in the surrounding EMC and closer by Sri City (<100 kilometers distance) can have the added advantage of ‘Just in Time’ supplies facilitating efficiency in their production.
