Top Lithium ion Battery Manufacturers in India

Table of Contents

Electric vehicle demand is increasing in India due to its low operating (running) cost and due to its eco-friendly nature. In April 2023, more than 1.1 million new EVs (including 2W, 3W, and 4W) have been registered in India as the Vahan Dashboard data. The success of the electric vehicle depends on the performance of its battery. Presently mainly Li-ion battery is used in EVs due to their unique properties like having high energy & power density, large cycle life, low self-discharge, and support for fast charging as compared to NiCd, lead-acid battery. Li-ion battery with the use of a proper battery management system provides the desired range for EVs.

The lithium-ion battery industry in India has developed a 25% growth over the past years as per economic times report then less revalued at 300 billion dollars. India has a good number of Lithium-ion Battery Manufacturers companies and their contribution is massive by making the Largest number of Lithium-ion batteries for EVs.

The government is also Giving initiatives for the development of the automobile industry through EV battery manufacturing startups in India.

CATL (China), Panasonic (Japan), BYD (China), LG Chem (South Korea), and Samsung (South Korea) are the major Li-ion battery manufacturer in the world which are primarily supplying batteries for EV manufacturers across the globe including India. But the growth in the sale of solar panels (renewable-based energy source) and EVs in India has attracted domestic companies to manufacture these batteries within the country. And this opportunity has grown much after the discovery of the two lithium reserves (Jammu and Rajasthan) in India.

Here is the list of the top Indian companies manufacturing (or committed to manufacturing in the near future) Li-ion batteries In India:
