In Sanand, Gujarat, Agratas is building more than just a factory—it’s laying the groundwork for a low-carbon future. The site spans roughly 300+ acres and is being developed in phases, with the first phase delivering 20 GWh of annual battery production—enough to power hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles each year. Construction has already crossed major milestones, including the completion of large structural sections using tens of thousands of tonnes of steel. The plant is expected to begin production around 2027 and will use advanced lithium-ion cell technology designed for both mobility and large-scale energy storage.
Beyond manufacturing, the project is part of a wider transformation led by the Tata Group to build a full clean energy ecosystem—from battery production to electric vehicles and renewable integration. Backed by an investment of about ₹13,000 crore (around $1.5–1.6 billion), the facility is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs and strengthen India’s domestic supply chain. It will also likely align with government incentive schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program to boost local battery manufacturing. As India’s battery demand could grow nearly 15–20 times by 2035, projects like this will help store solar and wind energy, stabilize power grids, cut emissions, and accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable, electrified transport and energy systems.
