Tata's Battery Unit Develops Own Technology for Lithium Cell Production
Tata Group's battery unit, Agratas Energy Storage Solutions, is developing its own lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology amid China's tightened export restrictions on critical manufacturing know-how. The company is building a pilot production line at its Sanand factory in Gujarat, with a team of Indian, South Korean, and Chinese engineers refining processes before commercial production. This shift follows challenges in securing technology deals with Chinese firms, affecting several Indian companies. Agratas plans to produce both LFP and NMC cells for domestic and international markets in the coming years.
