Maxvolt Energy Lays Foundation for 10 GWh Aligarh Facility

Maxvolt Energy Industries has conducted the Bhoomi Pujan of its upcoming INR 700-crore advanced battery manufacturing facility in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. It is designed to expand Maxvolt Energy’s manufacturing capabilities across electric mobility, energy storage and OEM applications while supporting the company’s move into four-wheeler EV batteries.

Spread across approximately 23,576 square metres, nearly six acres, the facility will be developed in two phases of 5 GWh each, taking the planned annual manufacturing capacity to 10 GWh. At full development, planned combined capacity across the two sites reaches 12.5 GWh a year. The project is positioned as the largest upcoming battery manufacturing project in Uttar Pradesh and among the significant upcoming battery manufacturing projects in India.

The Bhoomi Pujan ceremony was attended by Alok Kumar, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, MSME; Pravin Singh, Director, UPICON; and Satish Kumar Gautam, Member of Parliament, Aligarh, along with Maxvolt Energy’s leadership and other stakeholders.

Satendra Shukla, Co-Founder and CEO, Maxvolt Energy, said, “India's battery demand is not arriving through one door. E-rickshaw fleets, solar installers, telecom operators, hospitals and households are all moving to lithium at the same time and every one of them wants a different pack. Aligarh is built for that reality. We are not adding capacity for a single segment, we are scaling a platform that already serves several, and four-wheeler EV batteries are the next application we take on rather than the reason we are building. Dedicated OEM lines let us build to a customer's specification at volume, which is the difference between being a supplier and being a manufacturing partner.”

Mukesh Gupta, Co-Founder and CMO, Maxvolt Energy, said, “The Aligarh facility is an important milestone in Maxvolt Energy’s journey from expanding capacity to building a broader manufacturing ecosystem. The focus is not only on producing more batteries, but on creating the capabilities to serve different applications, from electric mobility and energy storage to telecom, power backup and OEM requirements. With dedicated production lines and the planned expansion into four-wheeler EV batteries, we are building greater flexibility into our manufacturing platform while creating opportunities for customers and partners across the value chain.”

The facility will manufacture battery solutions ranging from 1 kW to 5 MW, with BMS capabilities for slow charging as well as L3 and L5 fast-charging applications. Dedicated OEM production lines will enable the company to manufacture batteries according to individual customer specifications. The facility will also expand Maxvolt Energy’s portfolio into four-wheeler EV batteries, alongside its existing two-wheeler and three-wheeler offerings.

The project represents an investment of approximately INR 700 crore and has a full-capacity annual turnover potential of more than INR 6,800 crore. The facility is expected to create 1,500–2,000 direct jobs and 7,500–10,000 indirect employment opportunities across manufacturing, engineering, quality control, logistics and the wider supply chain.

Bhuvneshwar Pal Singh, Co-Founder, MD and CFO, Maxvolt Energy, said that the Aligarh project represents a substantial investment in the company’s manufacturing expansion, supported by IPO proceeds, debt and internal accruals. The capacity will be added in phases in line with market demand. 

The expansion comes as India’s battery demand is expected to increase significantly across electric mobility and energy storage. Maxvolt Energy’s briefing estimates Indian battery demand could rise from 3 GWh in 2022 to 54 GWh by 2027 and 127 GWh by 2030. The Aligarh facility is being developed to address multiple applications rather than a single mobility segment, including EVs, energy storage and OEM-specific requirements.

Vishal Gupta, Co-Founder, CTO and Whole Time Director, Maxvolt Energy, said that battery manufacturing capabilities are being strengthened through engineering, testing and safety initiatives, including BMS enhancement with IIT Roorkee and research engagements with IIT Delhi and ARCI. These capabilities will be integrated at the Aligarh facility for EV and energy-storage applications. 

Maxvolt Energy’s battery packs are manufactured and tested in accordance with AIS 156 requirements, while the company operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system. Its R&D ecosystem also includes auto-ancillary partners working on battery safety enhancement.

Sachin Gupta, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Maxvolt Energy, said that the 10 GWh capacity will be commissioned in two 5 GWh phases, allowing production lines, suppliers and testing protocols to be validated progressively while enabling a controlled supply-chain ramp-up. 

The company’s broader expansion strategy includes strengthening its manufacturing footprint, diversifying its product portfolio and building capabilities for domestic and international markets. Its recycling arm, ReEarth, is targeting recovery of 500,000 batteries annually through more than 100 collection centres by 2030.
