Lithium titanate prototype battery developed under State EV Consortium to be unveiled on Wednesday

The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and the State public sector undertaking Travancore Titanium Products (TTPL) have developed a lithium titanate (LTO) prototype battery which could prove a big step forward for the e-mobility programme.

The development has been made possible under the Electric Vehicles Development and Management Consortium anchored by the Kerala Development and innovation Strategic Council (K-DISC).

LTO batteries offer faster charging and enhanced safety, two key requirements for the growth of e-mobility, S. Unnikrishnan Nair, Director, VSSC, told The Hindu. The prototype battery would be formally unveiled at the Secretariat on Wednesday at a function to be attended by Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve.
