Building our own tools has honestly been a game-changer. We can respond faster, customize better, and most importantly, control the cost.
Made in India: Powering Up EV Battery Diagnostics
India’s EV revolution is well underway. As more electric vehicles hit the roads, the spotlight naturally turns to the heart of every EV that is its battery.
And for us Indians, When we buy a vehicle, we usually care about five key things: price, safety, reliability, longevity, and performance – often in that order.
And with EVs, battery health is quietly becoming the sixth pillar. So, it’s no surprise that battery diagnostics are becoming just as important as the battery itself.
While international tools have been around for some time, we’re seeing a welcome shift. The “Made in India” initiative is stepping up not just with pride, but with a purpose that is to build tools that suit our needs, our conditions, and our pace.
Why Local Matters?

At Maxwell, as a BMS manufacturer, we’ve often found ourselves stuck, not because we don’t know how to fix or improve something, but because we’re dependent on tools made in Japan, China, or Europe. Even a small tweak on the production line can take time and money when we have to rely on overseas OEMs.
Building our own tools has honestly been a game- changer. We can respond faster, customize better, and most importantly, control the cost. And we’re sure we’re not the only Indian manufacturer who’s felt this pain and made the switch.
“Make in India” isn’t just a slogan , it’s about building an ecosystem that works for us. And when it comes to battery diagnostics, local tools mean:
- More affordability: Advanced tools don’t need to come with a premium price tag. Local development brings down costs and makes diagnostics accessible, even to smaller service centers and individual users.
- Better support and faster updates: When your tools are built nearby, you get fixes, updates, and customizations faster. That’s less downtime and more confidence for manufacturers and service teams alike.
This push toward local tech is also great news for the Indian economy. Companies like Maxwell and many others working on batteries, BMS, and related software are seeing more investment, more innovation, and more recognition. With government backing and rising EV demand, it’s the perfect time to build something truly homegrown.
What We’re Building?
We’re not just making tools, we’re building an entire ecosystem, tailored for every step of the EV journey and every stakeholder involved.
Whether it’s a field technician diagnosing issues with just a mobile phone, or a production line engineer needing high-speed diagnostics via a desktop tool or test master, we’ve got it covered.
For fleet operators or end customers tracking battery health across dozens or hundreds of vehicles, we offer scalable, easy-to-use solutions as well over the Maxwell Cloud Application.
For us, it’s about striking the right balance between value, cost, and ease of use, crafting applications that enable a pragmatic, real-world approach to diagnostics and problem-solving.
Our web, desktop, and mobile platforms are already empowering OEMs and battery developers across India and the rest of the world. And we’re now going a step further into the world of IoT, enabling remote diagnostics and over-the-air (OTA) updates. That means real-time visibility, smarter servicing, and fewer surprises no matter where your vehicles are.
In short? The future of EV diagnostics in India is being built right here, by people who understand Indian roads, Indian needs, and Indian challenges and who are proud to build solutions for them.
