True, the market for battery-driven cars is practically non-existent in India, but that will change. Vehicle manufacturers will come up with hybrid versions and those cars will need batteries.
For ARBL, the task on hand is not so much the technology for batteries as the use of the technology for developing an appropriate product for the Original Equipment Manufacturers. ARBL's American collaborator, Johnson Controls, has the technology for Lithium Ion batteries, through a joint venture with the French battery producer, Saft.
