This study aims to identify key resource-based and dynamic capability barriers that hinders the adoption of circularity principles in India’s electric vehicle battery (EVB) infrastructure. A three-stage methodology was employed. First, an initial list of 58 barriers was compiled. In the second stage, frequency mapping was used to refine this list to 41 barriers. Finally, a survey using a five-point Likert scale was conducted. Based on responses from 23 experts and applying the Fuzzy Delphi technique, 17 relevant barriers were identified as influential in hindering battery circularity within the Indian context. The relevant barriers are discussed in details along with their significance to the Indian market. According to the experts, the most significant barrier in India is “Lack of infrastructure development for collecting EVBs”. The study concludes by outlining relevant policy and managerial implications, along with its limitations and directions for future research.
