NEWS UPDATE: INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL INDUSTRY REPORTS

8McKinsey: Global Li-ion battery demand to surge 6.8x by 2035 - Rs. 1 billion required per 10 GWh; Western supply chain needs incentive reform
A McKinsey & Company report from April 2026 projects global lithium-ion battery demand to explode from 1.0 TWh in 2024 to 4.2 TWh by 2030 and 6.8 TWh by 2035 - yet 75% of global supply remains concentrated in China. The Automotive & Assembly Practice study, co-authored by Raphael Rettig and Wenting Gao, estimates that approximately Rs. 1 billion is needed per 10 GWh of new capacity, with 4–5 year construction lead times creating investment risk. Lithium and nickel prices have fluctuated 3–6 times in recent years, and the report calls for structured incentive pricing mechanisms to de-risk Western battery supply chain investments.
8Canada can capture Rs. 200 billion in clean energy investment over the next decade - but project delivery must improve, report warns
A 2026 report titled 'Watts at Stake: Canada's Rs. 200-Billion Clean Energy Investment Opportunity' finds that Canada has the resources, capital markets and policy environment to attract up to Rs. 200 billion in clean energy investment over the next decade - but warns that slow project approvals, weak supply chains and regulatory friction could derail the opportunity. Canada currently has approximately 25 GW of wind, solar and energy storage projects in development, yet realizing the full investment potential requires urgent improvements to the project development framework, permitting systems and construction pipelines.
8Paris Agreement's Article 6.4 carbon credit projects overlap with indigenous lands in 30+ countries, report warns
A May 2026 research report reveals that the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) under Article 6.4 is being deployed in land-intensive sectors such as hydropower, wind, solar and reforestation - with significant overlaps identified between Article 6 pipeline projects and territories of Indigenous Peoples and local communities across more than 30 countries. The report documents cases of involuntary resettlement, limited compensation, lack of early-stage consultation and cultural heritage violations, calling for sweeping policy reforms to the Social Development Tool's safeguards framework.

8McKinsey: Global Li-ion battery demand to surge 6.8x by 2035 - Rs. 1 billion required per 10 GWh; Western supply chain needs incentive reform
A McKinsey & Company report from April 2026 projects global lithium-ion battery demand to explode from 1.0 TWh in 2024 to 4.2 TWh by 2030 and 6.8 TWh by 2035 - yet 75% of global supply remains concentrated in China. The Automotive & Assembly Practice study, co-authored by Raphael Rettig and Wenting Gao, estimates that approximately Rs. 1 billion is needed per 10 GWh of new capacity, with 4–5 year construction lead times creating investment risk. Lithium and nickel prices have fluctuated 3–6 times in recent years, and the report calls for structured incentive pricing mechanisms to de-risk Western battery supply chain investments.
