The standard legend of India’s Green Revolution centers on two propositions. First, India faced a food crisis, with farms mired in tradition and unable to feed an exploding population; and second, Borlaug’s wheat seeds led to record harvests from 1968 on, replacing import dependence with food self-sufficiency.

Recent research shows that both claims are false.

India was importing wheat in the 1960s because of policy decisions, not overpopulation. After the nation achieved independence in 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru prioritized developing heavy industry. U.S. advisers encouraged this strategy and offered to provide India with surplus grain, which India accepted as cheap food for urban workers.

Meanwhile, the government urged Indian farmers to grow nonfood export crops to earn foreign currency. They switched millions of acres from rice to jute production, and by the mid-1960s India was exporting agricultural products.

Borlaug’s miracle seeds were not inherently more productive than many Indian wheat varieties. Rather, they just responded more effectively to high doses of chemical fertilizer. But while India had abundant manure from its cows, it produced almost no chemical fertilizer. It had to start spending heavily to import and subsidize fertilizer.

India did see a wheat boom after 1967, but there is evidence that this expensive new input-intensive approach was not the main cause. Rather, the Indian government established a new policy of paying higher prices for wheat. Unsurprisingly, Indian farmers planted more wheat and less of other crops.

Once India’s 1965-67 drought ended and the Green Revolution began, wheat production sped up, while production trends in other crops like rice, maize and pulses slowed down. Net food grain production, which was much more crucial than wheat production alone, actually resumed at the same growth rate as before.

But grain production became more erratic, forcing India to resume importing food by the mid-1970s. India also became dramatically more dependent on chemical fertilizer.

According to data from Indian economic and agricultural organizations, on the eve of the Green Revolution in 1965, Indian farmers needed 17 pounds (8 kilograms) of fertilizer to grow an average ton of food. By 1980, it took 96 pounds (44 kilograms). So, India replaced imports of wheat, which were virtually free food aid, with imports of fossil fuel-based fertilizer, paid for with precious international currency.

Today, India remains the world’s second-highest fertilizer importer, spending US$17.3 billion in 2022. Perversely, Green Revolution boosters call this extreme and expensive dependence “self-sufficiency.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long prided himself on being both “Mr. Security” and “Mr. Economy.” As Mr. Security, Netanyahu (and many, if not most, Israelis) believed he was the only one who would ensure that Israel remained militarily strong and could bring about a historic rapprochement with the Arab world; as Mr. Economy, Netanyahu was widely credited with presiding over a period of sustained economic growth and a blossoming high-tech industry.

No one doubts that Mr. Security was among the casualties of the Oct. 7 massacre carried out by Hamas, but so was Mr. Economy. And in both cases, the losses are unlikely to be limited exclusively to Netanyahu the man. The fallout will affect Israel as a country and a society, perhaps for years to come.

During the Netanyahu era, Israel had come to see itself—not entirely without justification—as a world-class military, political, and technological power. The three were closely interlinked. Israel’s high-tech industry was the engine of economic growth that enriched the country. Its tech prowess opened doors to stronger ties with China and India, and it played a key role in normalization with Arab powers seeking access to Israeli innovation. Technology enabled Israel to multiply its military and intelligence capabilities far in excess of what its population or other resources would normally give it. Many Israelis acquired their tech skills in elite army units.

The Gaza border on the eve of Oct. 7 exemplified the military-technology nexus. The border region was lightly manned by troops; instead, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had developed an array of highly sophisticated tools to monitor Hamas activities inside the enclave and to prevent incursions. The latter featured an underground reinforced concrete wall with sensors to detect tunnels, a 20-foot-high steel fence, a network of radar arrays and sensors, and remote-controlled weaponry.

Hamas brought down the entire system with little more than off-the-shelf drones. Tractors then came in to tear gaps through the fence. The planning that went into the operation was done without the IDF intelligence gurus having a clue of what was in the works.

Arguably, this was an isolated failure of a military-technology nexus that has many credits to its name. But given the human cost of the debacle, reinforced by the gruesome images available online, the confidence that Israel had in itself and its technological capabilities has been quickly recast in the public mind as hubris, akin to Israel’s last big military debacle, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

Netanyahu, of course, had no personal hand in the technological failures and will no doubt try to place the blame on the defense establishment for the failure. But as prime minister, he cannot escape responsibility any more than then-Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir could in the aftermath of the 1973 war. Just days after this month’s massacre, while people were still digesting the depth of the tragedy and in any ordinary crisis would be backing the country’s leader, a poll showed that only 21 percent of respondents thought that Netanyahu should stay on as prime minister after the war ends. If elections were held today, his Likud party would lose 40 percent of its Knesset seats.

He will inevitably be linked to the policy failure that allowed the massacre to occur because the tech-based approach to fighting Hamas reflected the defense-oriented policy advocated by Netanyahu, which was designed to contain Hamas rather than vanquish it. “We abandoned the residents of the Gaza border to the high-tech nation and forgot that we were in the Middle East,” one reserve officer told Haaretz.

There were some good reasons for that approach, but they were informed mainly by Netanyahu’s purely political strategy of keeping Hamas alive and kicking and ruling in Gaza. That way, there would be two Palestinian leaderships. The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank might aspire to a diplomatic solution, but it could never claim to speak for the Palestinian people or deliver peace so long as Hamas was in control of Gaza and pursuing its policy of violent resistance. Israel could thus justifiably say that it had no peace partner.

Objectively speaking, Israel’s capabilities and its capacity for innovation remain unchanged, but its reputation as the so-called start-up nation will almost certainly be diminished, and that is important. The idea that Israelis could do anything—from developing the Iron Dome air defense network or a next-generation laser-based missile-defense system to its pioneering role in navigation apps and lab-grown meat—will almost certainly now face a more critical attitude on the part of entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate partners.

Unfortunately, this is coming at an inopportune time. Globally, advanced technology is in the midst of a slump that is hindering the ability of Israeli start-ups to raise capital. The competition is intense for the money that is available. Meanwhile, the army’s call-up of more than 360,000 reservists, many of whom may be serving for an extended period, will disrupt an industry whose workforce is overwhelmingly young and male. The judicial reform that the Netanyahu government had been pursuing had already caused many newly formed companies to register abroad, an expression of how doubtful they were about their future in Israel even prior to Oct. 7.

Unless the war ends unexpectedly quickly and Israel avoids a two-front confrontation with Hamas and Hezbollah, the rest of the economy is also headed for a rough patch. Over and above the burden of so many workers in the reserves, Israel may very well face a period of frequent rocket attacks. The risk is strong that rising unrest in the West Bank will disrupt economic activity. Business and consumer confidence will fall. The government, which has been running a bigger-than-budgeted fiscal deficit, will be saddled with steep defense costs that will have to be covered by higher taxes or more borrowing at high interest rates in the absence of a massive infusion of economic aid.

Netanyahu’s reputation as Mr. Economy is largely undeserved. While he undertook important steps toward shrinking the public sector while working as finance minister two decades ago, he has since largely ignored economic policy. The economy grew on its own momentum, with little help from a series of ineffective and weak finance ministers.

The current officeholder may be the worst of the lot. Bezalel Smotrich, the leader of the far-right Religious Zionist Party, is more interested in his other role as a minister in the Defense Ministry, promoting the interests of Israeli settlers, than he is in economic policy.

Smotrich is not the kind of politician with the ability or dedication to deal with the economic challenges of wartime. Combined with soaring world energy prices, the 1973 Arab-Israeli military debacle pushed the Israeli economy into a long period of economic stagnation. The war undermined the self-confidence that had been engendered by Israel’s great victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Labor Party establishment that had led Israel since its founding and the quasi-socialist economy it had created never recovered from the blow. A scenario along the same lines may easily play out in the Israel of the 2020s—economic stagnation, sagging confidence, and rejection of the political leadership.

Netanyahu is not constitutionally built to extricate himself or the country from this sort of crisis. He is regarded as a great communicator, but his effectiveness has always been in explaining strategic challenges. Today, he is faced with a national tragedy, the likes of which Israel has not seen in half a century. His three speeches to the public since the conflict began have been received coldly (the last one even set off a short panic because he took the unusual step of broadcasting it on the Sabbath, leaving the impression that he would have something important to say, when in fact he didn’t).

Netanyahu has visited the conflict zone just once since the massacre and took a week before meeting with the families of the dead and kidnapped. It took him five days to form an emergency government, reportedly out of concern over sharing credit for any victories in the war against Hamas.

What will follow is difficult to say. Israelis are just beginning to deal with the trauma, and the death and suffering may continue for some time if the fighting drags on. If there is a “victory” in the end, in the sense of eliminating Hamas, it will be too pyrrhic to offset the wounds.

It would be nice to think that the events of Oct. 7 will cause Israel’s drift to the right to be reversed as its verities and leaders fall into disrepute.

Fifty years ago, the Arab-Israeli War discredited the elites and led to the rise of the right wing and settlement movement, accelerating a trend toward greater religiosity that had begun after 1967.

This time, counterrevolution doesn’t seem to be in the cards: The trauma is likely to strengthen the sense that the country is surrounded by implacable enemies bent on its destruction, and the notion that it is not the time for peace processes or dissent. The left offers no answers; the center is too squishy and pragmatic. When the war is finally over, Netanyahu will almost certainly depart from the scene, but Israel’s right is here to stay.

India Automotive Lithium ion Battery Market Market Size, Share, Growth and Forecast 2032

India automotive lithium-ion battery market is projected to witness a CAGR of 10.11% during the forecast period FY2025-FY2032, growing from USD 1.25 billion in FY2025 to USD 2.70 billion in FY2032. The market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and supportive government policies aimed at promoting clean energy.

The government launched several pivotal initiatives for the electric vehicle ecosystem growth, infrastructural and supported development on the FAME II front, and the production-linked incentive scheme with an incentive for indigenous domestic battery manufacturing. This policy support is complemented by an increase in sales of battery-operated vehicles, which indicates a profound shift towards electric mobility. In addition, it aims to achieve 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030, which stimulates a rising demand for lithium-ion batteries as a crucial energy storage solution that finds its way into the broader country’s strategy towards sustainability and energy security. For instance, in February 2023, the government of India presented the Union Budget, where they levied basic customs duty exemption on imported machinery used in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, vehicle parts, and subsystems. Also, the government reduced customs duty on lithium-ion batteries from 21% to 13%, and concessional basic customs taxes were extended for electric vehicles and hybrid batteries.

Despite the promising upward trajectory for the Indian market for lithium-ion batteries, production risks are faced mainly due to raw material availability issues, specifically a demand-supply mismatch for certain critical raw materials such as lithium. Besides, fragmentation with many players in the Indian market creates competitive pressure that may adversely affect price realization and sustainability.

Electric Vehicle Adoption to Support Market Expansion

The growing adoption of electric vehicles in India is significantly leading the growth of the automotive lithium-ion battery market. The growth trajectory is bound to accelerate further, buoyed by strong government schemes such as FAME II for the development of the ecosystem for EVs and the Production-linked Incentive Scheme aimed at boosting domestic battery manufacturing. As consumers prefer more eco-friendly options for transportation, battery-operated vehicles showed a surge in sales. For instance, in 2023, the International Trade Administration reported that the sales of battery-operated vehicles were approximately USD 8 million, projected to grow to USD 118 billion in 2032, starting from USD 23 billion in 2024. The steep growth decreases the carbon footprint and turns toward clean energy solutions. Furthermore, the goal of having 450 GW of renewable energy capacity in India by 2030 will increase the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which is the primary energy storage and management requirement.

For instance, in May 2024, Exide Industries Ltd announced a partnership with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation and is engaged in discussions with most of the two-wheeler companies with electric vehicle programs to supply lithium-ion batteries. The aim of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for strategic cooperation is an electric vehicle (EV) expansion plan. With the expansion of their EV plans for the Indian market, Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation aim to localize their EV battery production, specifically focusing on lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells. This strategic move will position them as the pioneers in applying domestically produced batteries in their upcoming EV models in the Indian market.

Government Initiatives to Boost Market Growth

The Indian government has taken several strategic steps to strengthen the automotive lithium-ion battery market, thereby increasing the country’s adoption of electric vehicles. Among these, one of the most essential schemes launched was Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME II) in April 2019, with a budgetary allocation of USD 118.92 million over three years for promoting electric mobility. This scheme provides financial incentives to consumers who buy electric vehicles, including front-line purchase price relief, thereby making the adoption of EVs by other consumers much more accessible. Along with that, FAME II focuses on adequately establishing charging stations. In March 2022, 2,877 public charging stations were proposed under FAME II in around 68 cities and major highways to ensure easy access by users for charging. Then, the Production-Linked Incentive Scheme, with a budgetary outlay of USD 3.49 billion in 2021, was launched, adding an incentive to manufacture batteries and other EV components locally so that importing does not have a poor supply of the commodity to the consumer. Another point is addressing issues regarding pollution and improving the level of energy security. The Indian government seems to be putting the nation on the world map for the uptake and production of electric vehicles and batteries while creating a conducive environment.

For instance, in September 2024, at the 64th Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) Annual Session, the Union Minister for Heavy Industries announced that the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) will be extended until the rollout of the third phase of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME-III). The government is unwaveringly committed to advancing India’s EV ecosystem focusing on fostering local manufacturing and sustainable growth. Benefits for incentives will be extended to vehicles fitted with advanced batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries or advanced chemistry cells (ACCs), to encourage advanced technologies.

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide Batteries Accounts for Dominating Market Share

The lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery segment dominated the Indian automotive lithium-ion battery market primarily because demand for decarbonization and a shift to clean energy sources takes center stage to meet India’s aggressive EV adoption and renewable integration targets. As concerns toward sustainable transportation solutions continue growing, NMC batteries hold the center of focus since they offer good energy density and thermal stability alongside other qualities. The aim of the Indian government in 2030 is to attain 30% of electric vehicles in the total automobile industry, which creates the necessity for more efficient, reliable battery technologies than before. The NMC batteries hold special preference in the EV market as the balanced features of the battery make them suitable for diverse applications. Domestic production increases because of initiatives undertaken by the government, and it will further augment the supply chain’s resilience and make it more import-independent. Batteries will become more efficient with technological developments, and the cost is expected to decline; thus, the NMC segment will dominate the market in the forecast years.

For instance, in July 2024, Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. unveiled India’s first indigenously developed lithium-ion cell, NMC2170. Built in-house, Ola started the mass production of its cell from its upcoming Gigafactory in 2023. The state-of-the-art High Nickel Cylindrical Ola Cell uses NMC on the cathode side and Graphite and Silicon on the Anode side. The use of specific chemicals and materials enables the cell to pack more energy in each space and improve the life cycle of the cell, keeping the indigenous conditions at the core.
