Agratas, the global battery business of the Tata Group, has provided an update on its upcoming lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. The facility is planned to have an annual capacity of 20 GWh in its first phase, underscoring Agratas’ commitment to contributing to India’s growing energy storage and electric mobility ecosystem.
Construction at the 320-acre site is progressing at a rapid pace. The structural steel framework is nearing completion, signaling significant progress in the development of the facility. Currently, over 2,000 construction workers and more than 700 vendor staff are deployed on-site, working across various stages of construction.
In parallel with the construction work, Agratas is actively focused on establishing its supply chain to ensure seamless operations once the facility becomes functional. This dual approach highlights the company’s commitment to building not just the manufacturing infrastructure, but also a robust ecosystem to support large-scale lithium-ion battery production.
Anand Sodha, a spokesperson for Agratas, emphasized the collaborative effort driving the project, stating that Tata Projects and Tata Consulting Engineers are working with Agratas to bring this facility to life. Their combined expertise is playing a pivotal role in ensuring that the project meets its ambitious targets while maintaining high standards of engineering and execution.
The Sanand facility is designed to be a key component of Agratas’ strategic vision, enabling it to scale production efficiently and cater to the growing domestic and global demand for lithium-ion batteries. With the first phase set at 20 GWh annual capacity, the facility represents a major step forward for the Tata Group in strengthening India’s position in the global battery manufacturing sector.
As construction progresses and key milestones are achieved, the Sanand plant is poised to become a cornerstone of Agratas’ efforts to support sustainable energy solutions, electric mobility, and the broader transition toward clean energy in India.
