PackPass

One record per battery pack, from cell to recycling. Built for India's Battery Pack Aadhaar and the EU Battery Passport from a single data spine.

The moment

Two regulators, one deadline window

European Union
18 Feb 2027

Every EV, light-transport, and industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the EU market must carry a digital battery passport. Any country of origin.

India
2026 →

MoRTH draft Battery Pack Aadhaar guidelines published January 2026. Producer or importer must assign the ID, mark the pack, and keep lifecycle data current. Now in the AIS standards process.

Indian battery makers must move on both. Nobody sells them one tool that does.

Problem

A battery pack in India has no identity

It leaves the factory with a serial number nobody downstream can use. The cost shows up everywhere.

Resale

Used EV buyers cannot verify battery health. Residual values are guesses.

Finance & insurance

Lenders and insurers over-price EVs because the largest component is unobservable.

Recycling & safety

Recyclers receive packs blind. Fire investigations cannot trace cell lots or firmware.

Export

From February 2027, EU buyers refuse packs that arrive without a passport.

Regulation

Two mandates. Same obligation. Same actor.

India · Battery Pack Aadhaar
  • 21-character ID, physically marked, decodable offline
  • QR code with static dataset
  • Government server for dynamic data: status, state of health, end of life
  • Three phases: identity → circularity data → carbon footprint
  • Obligation on the producer or importer
EU · Battery Passport (Reg. 2023/1542)
  • QR-linked electronic record per battery
  • About 90 attributes: identity, materials, carbon footprint, due diligence, performance
  • Tiered access: public, legitimate interest, authorities
  • Mandatory carbon footprint declaration
  • Obligation on the operator placing it on the market, pushed back to the producer

The Indian draft says its server "can be mapped to the EU structure through standard APIs and data-field mapping". That sentence is the product.

Gap

The top of the market is served. The rest is open.

Served today

A handful of large OEMs using enterprise platforms (Tata Technologies WATTSync, Circulor, Minespider). Enterprise price, enterprise sales cycle, built for JLR-scale programmes.

Unserved
  • Several hundred BIS-registered pack assemblers
  • Importers who must map foreign records into BPAN
  • 2W / 3W / bus OEMs and swap networks
  • Fleets, lenders, and insurers who need state of health
  • Recyclers who must write end-of-life outcomes

They need something cheap per pack, API-first, that speaks both schemas and produces evidence an auditor can verify.

Product

PackPass: the record layer between the BMS and the regulators

Issue

Generate BPAN and QR, print labels, verify marking at end of line, sync static data.

Ingest

Pull BMS and telematics data. Compute state of health, thermal exposure, safety flags.

Ledger

Every lifecycle event signed, hash-chained, anchored. Verifiable without trusting us.

Export

BPAN portal, EU passport, CPCB EPR, VAHAN. One record, many schemas.

Views

Producer, fleet, financier, recycler, regulator, and a public QR page.

Carbon & due diligence

Stage-wise footprint per EU method. Supplier declarations for cobalt, lithium, graphite, nickel.

How it works

One spine. Two jurisdictions.

Factory MES / BOM BMS & telematics Service & recyclers build data, certificates voltage, temp, cycles, faults status, dismantling, recovery PACKPASS Identity: BPAN + QR Canonical record (static + dynamic) State-of-health engine Hash-chained ledger, anchored BPAN portal EU Battery Passport CPCB EPR · VAHAN static upload, dynamic events JSON-LD, public QR page registers streams appends events maps to maps to evidence
Inputs are registered once. The canonical record is mapped outward to each regulator. Downstream actors write back, so the record stays alive after the pack leaves the factory.

Lifecycle

The record follows the pack for its whole life

Issued Installed In use Serviced Second life Collected Recycled BPAN + static data VIN via Form 20 SoH from telemetry diagnostics written new BPAN lineage custody event recovery outputs producer OEM fleet service centre repurposer collector recycler
Each stage is a different organisation. Each writes a signed event to the same record. That is what makes the record trustworthy to a financier in year two and a recycler in year six.

Why ZettaCore

This is our existing practice, packaged

Device telemetry to cloud

We already build BMS and sensor ingestion pipelines for energy and logistics clients.

Blockchain that stays out of the way

Hash-chained ledger, Merkle roots anchored to a public chain. No token, no battery data on-chain.

AI on time-series

State-of-health and anomaly models per chemistry, with evaluation against lab capacity tests.

Document extraction

Type-approval certificates and supplier declarations become structured fields without manual entry.

Nine verticals, one team

Energy, logistics, fintech, and manufacturing clients are the buyers and partners for this product.

Services attach

Every integration is billable. Product revenue compounds on top.

Business model

Cheap at the bottom, rich at the top

Issue
₹25–60

per pack, plus platform fee. Assemblers and importers.

Export
₹120–250

per pack, plus annual fee. EU passport, carbon, due diligence.

Fleet
₹8–20

per pack per month. State of health, alerts, resale docs.

Asset intelligence
₹40–120

per asset per year. Lenders, lessors, insurers.

  • Recycler site licence and integration services on top
  • Gross margin above 80% on issuance once connectors exist
  • Indian producer segment alone supports ₹60–150 crore annual software revenue at full adoption (ceiling, not forecast)

Go-to-market

Sell the fixed date first. Catch the Indian wave when it lands.

1 · Exporter wedge

Against 18 Feb 2027. "Ship with a passport or do not ship."

2 · Fleet & financier

State-of-health revenue that needs no mandate. BMS vendors as channel.

3 · BPAN wave

On AIS notification, convert the producer base through testing agencies and industry bodies.

4 · Recycler loop

Sign the three largest recyclers so end-of-life evidence becomes a selling point.

  • Submit comments in the AISC consultation; volunteer for pilots the NRDC report recommends
  • Open-source the offline BPAN decoder to become the reference implementation
  • List in the EU Battery Pass ecosystem so importers pull demand toward us

The ask

Four design partners. Ninety days. One battery through the whole loop.

If you make packs

Give us one production line and one EU shipment. We issue, mark, and export at no cost for the pilot.

If you finance or run fleets

Give us telemetry from 500 vehicles. We return state of health and residual value you can act on.

If you recycle

Give us one intake bay. We close the loop and hand you audit-ready EPR evidence.
