Telangana State Mineral Development Corporation (TSMDC), announced to enter into direct partnerships for procuring lithium and other minerals from Latin American nations through local joint venture partners.
IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao at Evolve, a conclave on Advanced Battery Technologies stated, “The Government of Telangana has been working to secure the supply of lithium salts to build a sustainable EV and ESS ecosystem. I don’t think any other State has dreamt and imagined taking this step forward.”
He said that Hyderabad has emerged as the preferred destination for setting up R&D, design and engineering facilities. Sustainable and shared mobility is India's future, and Telangana is leading the way in driving an innovative growth story.
The minister further added Zaheerabad and Sitarampur were identified as EV and components manufacturing clusters, while Enkathala in Vikarabad was designated as a research and innovation cluster.
Amara Raja Batteries’ E Positive Energy Labs will be a trailblazing facility furnished with advanced laboratories and testing infrastructure for material research, prototyping, and product life cycle analysis.
The centre is a crucial milestone in Amara Raja’s path of establishing a ‘Giga Corridor’ with an investment of INR 9,500 crore that will involve this research facility and a Gigafactory at Divitipalli for manufacturing Li-ion cells and battery packs.
