Kinetic India has announced the launch of its maiden Range-X Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery at its cutting-edge manufacturing plant in Ahilya Nagar. The firm claims this battery meets the AIS 156 certification standard, and is engineered to deliver enhanced safety, durability and sustainability for India’s burgeoning EV market.
The first Use case of this new battery will be in the Kinetic DX EV, the company’s flagship electric two-wheeler. Over time, Kinetic plans to extend the Range-X battery’s usage to other electric two- and three-wheelers. The battery features a smart Battery Management System (BMS), promises a lifecycle of 2,000–3,000 charge cycles, and boasts superior thermal stability, reinforcing its fit for both performance and longevity.
At the Ahilya Nagar facility, the production process has been designed for excellence: fully automated, IoT-enabled, and equipped with POKE-YOKE systems and stage-wise inspections. These measures are intended to ensure precision, reliability, and environmental responsibility in every battery unit produced.
Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman of Kinetic India, highlighted the symbolic and functional significance of the launch, stating that these batteries are not just industrial output but represent “the backbone of the Kinetic DX EV and the next wave of clean mobility in India.” He emphasized how AIS 156 certification underpins the battery’s durability, safety, and sustainability credentials.
With this rollout, Range-X aims to address the rising demand for dependable, long-lasting battery solutions in India’s electric two- and three-wheeler markets. The LFP battery positions itself as a benchmark in safe and sustainable energy storage, aligning with India’s broader push toward clean mobility and green transition.
This move by Kinetic India may well catalyze a competitive push among battery manufacturers and EV makers in India to elevate standards of safety, longevity, and environmental compatibility in their offerings. The success of Range-X’s first deployment will be a key indicator of how India’s EV ecosystem evolves in the coming years.
