This study aims to identify key factors that facilitate the adoption of circularity principles in India’s electric vehicle battery infrastructure. A three-stage methodology was employed. First, an initial list of enablers was compiled. In the second stage, frequency mapping was used to refine this list to 25 variables. Finally, a survey using a five-point Likert scale was conducted. Based on responses from 23 experts and applying the Fuzzy Delphi technique, nine relevant enablers were identified as influential in driving battery circularity within the Indian context. The relevant enablers are discussed in details along with their significance to the Indian market. According to the experts, the most significant enabler in India is “Development of an efficient infrastructure for collection and recycling of batteries”. The study concludes by outlining relevant policy and managerial implications, along with its limitations and directions for future research.
