India Forklift Battery Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Lithium-Ion Forklift Batteries

The India forklift battery market is shifting towards lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology, propelled by the need for higher efficiency and lower maintenance. For instance, in January 2025, IBC, in partnership with Mahanagar Gas Limited, announced an establishment of a battery manufacturing facility in Devanahalli, Karnataka. The unit will export 20% of production, strengthen the local economy, and reduce dependence on Chinese imports within nine months. In line with this, Li-ion batteries charge faster, have longer lifespans, and eliminate the need for frequent water refills, unlike traditional lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, sectors like e-commerce, warehousing, and manufacturing increasingly use Li-ion-powered forklifts in order to raise productivity and decrease operational expenses. The declining lithium-ion technology cost, combined with improved energy density and performance, is also driving this shift forward. With more companies focusing on sustainability and saving costs, Li-ion forklift batteries are poised to gain popularity at the expense of traditional lead-acid solutions in a range of industrial sectors.

Expanding E-Commerce and Warehousing Infrastructure

India’s booming e-commerce and logistics sectors are driving the demand for efficient material handling equipment, including battery-powered forklifts. For instance, as per industry reports, India's e-commerce market is anticipated to reach approximately USD 147.3 Billion (INR 12.2 Trillion) in 2024, reflecting a 23.8% growth as compared to the previous year. Large-scale warehouse expansions, automated distribution centers, and rising order fulfillment demands require reliable and cost-effective forklift solutions. Battery-powered forklifts, particularly those using advanced energy storage technologies, offer improved operational efficiency with reduced emissions and noise pollution, making them ideal for indoor warehousing applications. The push for automation and smart warehousing solutions is also influencing battery adoption, as businesses seek high-performance power sources to support round-the-clock operations. As logistics hubs and fulfillment centers expand nationwide, the forklift battery market will see steady growth.
