Exide Industries has announced that its material subsidiary Exide Energy Solutions (EESL) has commissioned Phase-I of its lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility at Devanahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka, with a capacity of 6 GWh.

The facility has been established to manufacture advanced lithium-ion cells across multiple chemistries and form factors, enabling EESL to serve a wide range of mobility and energy storage applications, the company stated in a regulatory filing.

“This milestone builds on Exide’s leadership in lead-acid batteries and strengthens its capabilities in advanced lithium-ion technology. It reinforces our commitment to addressing India’s evolving energy storage needs and positions us to cater to the growing demand for electric vehicle batteries and stationary energy storage solutions, supporting the country’s energy transition,” the company said.

Initially, the company will use the domestically manufactured lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells to replace imported cells at its Gujarat battery pack facility, which supplies battery packs for the electric three-wheeler segment. By the end of the fiscal year, Exide also expects to commence supplies for select electric two-wheeler battery pack applications and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cells for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the company stated earlier.
