近期，印度新能源产业遭遇了一场滑铁卢。印度最大民营企业之一的信实工业，斥资近百亿美元打造锂电池超级工厂的计划，终因技术壁垒被迫搁置。与此 形成鲜明对比的是，宝莱坞新片《120勇士》同期上映，影片极力渲染历史胜利的叙事，却难掩现实中的产业失落。 印度政府曾对新能源产业寄予厚望，推出一系列外资吸引政策，力图实现"自力更生印度"的愿景。这一雄心并非空穴来风——作为世界第二人口大国，该国 正面临日益严峻的环境与经济双重挑战。当前，印度电动车市场渗透率仅约3%，极低的普及度凸显了电动化转型的滞后，而这一切的根源，正是本土电池 产业链的残缺与对进口产品的过度依赖。 中国新能源产业的崛起，源于数十年的持续投入与技术积累，如今已形成完善的锂电池产业链，兼具技术优势与市场应用规模。反观印度，若想在新能源这 一未来核心产业中占据一席之地，首要任务是正视自身的技术与产业链短板。 若印度真想在2070年前实现碳中和目标，就必须承认当前科技与经济实力的巨大差距。面对冷酷现实，口号与虚构故事无法推动社会进步。技术突破需要长 期的时间与资金投入，企业需理性制定长期产业规划，而非寄望于短期技术引进实现逆转。 总而言之，印度的新能源梦，不仅需 ...

Industry Highlights - Global lithium battery production is projected to reach 2297 GWh by 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.5%. Power batteries will contribute significantly, reaching 1495 GWh with a growth of 40.5%, while energy storage batteries will exceed 27% market share, growing to 636 GWh at a remarkable 92.7% increase [1] Policy Changes - The Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration announced a tiered export tax rebate policy for photovoltaic products, effective April 1, 2026, which includes a reduction of the VAT export rebate rate for battery products from 9% to 6%.

Report Investment Rating - No information provided in the report Core Viewpoints - On January 15, 2026, the lithium carbonate futures 2605 dropped 1.31% to 163,220 yuan/ton. The average price of battery-grade lithium carbonate decreased by 4,000 yuan/ton to 159,000 yuan/ton, and the average price of industrial-grade lithium carbonate fell by 4,000 yuan/ton to 155,500 yuan/ton. The battery-grade lithium hydroxide (coarse particles) declined by 3,500 yuan/ton to 150,500 yuan/ton. The warehouse receipt inventory increased by 47 tons to 27,205 tons [3]. - In terms of supply, the weekly production increased by 70 tons to 22,605 tons. The production from spodumene increased by 165 tons to 14,124 tons, while the production from lepidolite decreased by 20 tons to 2,936 tons, the production from salt lake decreased by 40 tons to 3,145 tons, and the production from recycled materials decreased by 35 tons to 2,400 tons. The lithium carbonate production in January 2026 is expected to decline by 1.2% to 97,970 tons. On the demand side, the production of ternary materials in January 2026 is expected to decline by 5% to 78,180 tons; the production of lithium iron phosphate is expected to decline by 10% to 363,400 tons; the production of ternary power batteries in January 2026 is expected to decline by 6.15% to 28.7 GWh, the lithium iron power batteries are expected to decline by 9.77% to 90.01 GWh, and the lithium iron energy storage is expected to increase by 0.99% to 63.15 GWh. In terms of inventory, the weekly social inventory of lithium carbonate decreased by 263 tons to 109,679 tons, with the downstream inventory decreasing by 888 tons to 35,652 tons, the inventory in other links decreasing by 720 tons to 54,300 tons, and the upstream inventory increasing by 1,345 tons to 19,727 tons [3]. - Considering the export tax - rebate adjustment, strong terminal expectations, anti - involution of battery manufacturers, and the upward revision of production schedules by cathode materials manufacturers, even though the significant increase in raw material prices may suppress terminal demand, it is difficult to disprove this in the short term. Under the trading logic of low downstream inventory and long - term bullishness on lithium prices, there will still be stocking demand and speculative demand from funds even if the price drops. Therefore, without the demand being disproven, the overall price trend is likely to rise rather than fall, and short - term capital disturbances should be vigilant [3]. Summary by Directory 1.
