Importance of a Circular Economy in Driving Sustainability
The article is authored by Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India In recent times, there has been an enhanced emphasis on creating a circular economy for a sustainable future. While it is in the nascent stages, India has managed to attract significant investments totalling to approximately $1.8 billion over the past five years for the creation of a circular economy in various subsectors. It is important to note that nearly 80% of the total investment value have been directed towards mitigation-focussed innovations, particularly in clean energy and sustainable mobility . On this World Environment Week, it is crucial to understand that without a circular approach, we are risking replacing one form of ecological degradation with another. From an auto industry standpoint, investing in creation of second-life use cases for batteries, in the form of energy storage systems for stationary applications, will certainly drive more sustainability . Customer interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs) is steadily rising in India, backed by new launches by mass carmakers and the expansion of the charging infrastructure. While a focussed approach is driving EV sales in India, the next imperative task at hand for the sector is to collectively create an ecosystem for battery life management. EV batteries consist rare earth elements, such as lithium, and cobalt, which are finite. Repurposing helps mitigate these risks by enabling the recovery of valuable raw materials, minimising reliance on virgin mining, and providing cost-efficient stability. The repurposing process of EV batteries have evolved significantly since inception. Pre 2020, most used batteries were discarded or exported for recycling. The next phase witnessed the introduction of Battery Waste Management Rules and saw the emergence of many start-ups in this domain. Currently, second-life batteries are now a formal part of India's clean energy and mobility strategy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Defender's most Towering version: India plans, electric Defender and more | TOI Auto Estimates suggest that by 2030, India is expected to generate 128 GWh of recyclable battery waste. This highlights the importance of battery recycling in crafting a sustainable tomorrow. Efficient recycling methods can recover 70-80% of the battery's capacity even after their use in vehicles, allowing them to be repurposed for different storage solutions such as grid stabilisation, industrial backup, and residential energy systems. Recycled materials can lower costs by 30-50% compared to newly mined resources, making this strategic shift a significant competitive advantage for India in the global battery supply chain. Now, imagine the immense opportunity for OEMs to create an alternate revenue stream by repurposing batteries. Furthermore, it won't be wrong to predict a new wave of start-ups in the recycling business, collaborating with OEMs, to present innovative ideas with battery recycling. For automakers, this transition is not just beneficial but essential. Moving beyond manufacturing and embracing sustainable battery lifecycle management will be key to long-term success. Additionally, the revenue-generation potential in this space is immense—leasing models, refurbishment programs, and Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) are just a few innovative ways to open new income models. In addition, government incentives for second-life applications will further encourage the adoption of these practices across industries. That said, to realize the full potential of a circular economy in India, a collaborative approach needs to be implemented in creating a robust waste management infrastructure that seamlessly enables collection, sorting, and processing. Secondly, businesses should adopt circular supply chains and product life extension strategies. Next, consumer awareness on effective waste management needs to be ramped up. In addition, recycling technologies constantly need to evolve for scaling up operations and handling complex waste materials. Most importantly, a conducive policy and regulatory framework is needed to incentivise circular economy practices and discourage linear approaches. I am confident that India's mission to becoming a five trillion-dollar economy will be largely driven by sustainability in every aspect. Redefining the automotive industry's role in energy management can position India as a global leader in energy storage solutions . We are already in the future of mobility—the only way forward is to keep innovating while ensuring circular practices remain at the core.

LG Innotek Unveils World's First Automotive 5G Broadband Satellite Communication Module
SEOUL, South Korea, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Innotek has unveiled the world's first Automotive 5G Communication Module with satellite connectivity, enabling high-speed communication anywhere, anytime. LG Innotek (CEO Moon Hyuksoo, 011070) announced on June 9, 2025, that it has successfully developed the world's first 'Third-generation Automotive 5G Communication Module' that supports satellite communication over 5G broadband (NR-NTN, with a bandwidth of approximately 30MHz). The Automotive 5G Communication Module is a component installed inside a vehicle that enables data communication with network infrastructure, such as base stations and satellites, using 5G technology. It is an essential component for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and autonomous driving. Previously, 5G communication modules with satellite connectivity operated on narrowband (NB-NTN) channels with a bandwidth of about 0.2MHz. With data transmission speeds limited to several hundred kilobits per second, such modules were suitable for only low-volume data applications, such as text messaging. Due to the limited capacity for high-volume data transmission, narrowband satellite communication modules have been unable to meet automakers' requirements for advanced autonomous driving. LG Innotek's new ''Third-generation 5G Communication Module'supports 5G broadband satellite communication (NR-NTN). Even when disconnected from terrestrial base stations, the module maintains continuous communication via satellite, enabling the high-speed transmission and reception of large volumes of data over a broadband network from anywhere. To develop this product, LG Innotek leveraged the world-class vehicular communication technologies that it has built up since 2005. The company possesses the capability to develop software optimized for vehicular communication as well as expertise in designing radio frequency (RF) circuits that minimize signal interference and antennas that enhance data communication efficiency. Based on these capabilities, LG Innotek has demonstrated its technological leadership in the global vehicular communication module market by launching a series of innovative products, including the world's first 'First-generation Vehicle 5G Communication Module', the 'Second-Generation 5G-V2X Communication Module', and a 'Digital Key Solution'. LG Innotek's 'Third-generation 5G Communication Module' delivers data transmission speeds that are hundreds of times faster—reaching tens of megabits per second—than existing 5G satellite communication modules. Additionally, data transmission latency has been reduced from several seconds to just a few hundred milliseconds, significantly enhancing real-time communication capabilities. This component enables vehicles to seamlessly send and receive large volumes of data—such as voice audio, images, and video—at high speeds anytime, anywhere, making advanced communication services a reality. For example, even when a vehicle is in a remote area such as a desert or mountain or a region where the communication infrastructure has been damaged by an accident or natural disaster, high-speed communication can be maintained uninterrupted via satellite connectivity. Thus, in the event of an accident, emergency rescue requests and vehicle status information can be transmitted quickly, enabling prompt assistance and improving driver safety. Moreover, the 'Third-generation 5G Communication Module' further enhances autonomous driving performance. With satellite connectivity, vehicles can transmit and receive precise location information from anywhere, and autonomous driving algorithms can be updated in real time, resulting in improved driving accuracy and safety. Another key advantage is that the 'Third-generation 5G Communication Module' complies with international standards, allowing it to be widely adopted across various countries and vehicle models. The product adopts the latest 5G standard, Release 17, from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Release 17 is the first international standard to extend 5G technology from traditional terrestrial networks to non-terrestrial networks, such as satellites. LG Innotek plans to begin mass production of its 'Third-generation 5G Communication Module' by the first quarter of 2026, aiming to accelerate the company's expansion in the global automotive communication module market.
