India is on track to become the world’s third-largest player in the battery and critical materials industry by 2030 – a transformation that demands collaboration, innovation, and strategic leadership. The Fastmarkets India Battery & Critical Materials Conference (IBCM) 2026 is designed to accelerate this journey by creating a platform that connects global expertise with domestic ambition.

Taking place in 2026, this inaugural event will bring together senior decision-makers from across the battery value chain – cell and pack manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, raw material suppliers, policy-makers, and financial institutions. With guidance from an advisory board of global and domestic leaders, including representatives from CATL, Standard Chartered, Ather Energy, and Lithium Argentina, the agenda will tackle India’s most pressing challenges: scaling capacity, securing supply chains, navigating policy frameworks, and unlocking opportunities in EV recycling and energy storage solutions.

What sets IBCM apart is its dual-purpose design: a forum for strategic knowledge sharing and a high-value environment for deal-making. Delegates will gain actionable insights through sessions on sourcing diversification, cost curves, recycling economics, and bankability, while networking with industry pioneers and investors to forge partnerships that matter.

Supported by founding partners such as Lohum, TACC, Ather Energy and MolSynth, the conference promises balanced, forward-looking content and unparalleled access to decision-makers across the global and Indian battery ecosystem.

Whether you are looking to understand market dynamics, explore investment opportunities, or position your brand at the forefront of India’s EV revolution, IBCM 2026 is the event you cannot afford to miss. Sponsorship opportunities are available for companies seeking strategic visibility and engagement with a high-value delegate base.

Join us to shape the future of India’s battery industry – where innovation meets opportunity.
