Indian battery manufacturer Maxvolt Energy has announced plans to ramp up its annual lithium-ion battery production capacity from around 72,000 units to 225,000 units. The company has acquired approximately 55,000 sq ft of land in the Duhai Industrial Area, Ghaziabad, where it will establish a new manufacturing and recycling facility aimed at meeting the surge in demand for electric vehicle and energy-storage batteries.
The new facility will not only boost output but also integrate battery recycling operations. With India’s push toward cleaner mobility and renewable energy storage, Maxvolt’s expansion is seen as aligning with broader national goals. The plant is expected to be operational by December 2025.
According to the company, the Ghaziabad plant will feature automated production lines, testing labs and an R&D unit dedicated to improving battery efficiency, safety, and lifespan. In addition to serving the electric-vehicle market, the facility will support energy-storage systems, telecom infrastructure and industrial backup power solutions.
Maxvolt’s plan also includes a strong emphasis on sustainability and circular economy practices. The built-in recycling capacity means used lithium cells will be processed and reused, reducing waste and dependency on imports of raw materials. This supports India’s policy shift toward domestic manufacturing and environmentally responsible battery supply chains.
Industry data shows India’s battery demand could reach around 260 GWh by 2030, driven by electric vehicle adoption and grid-scale storage. Government initiatives — such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and recent Battery Waste Management Rules — are giving domestic players a push to scale up. Maxvolt’s expansion is considered part of this larger ecosystem development.
Looking ahead, Maxvolt aims to become a significant player in the lithium-ion battery segment by forging partnerships with EV startups, OEMs and energy-service providers. The new facility is expected to increase its market share in the EV battery pack and energy-storage systems segment while supporting India’s aim to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy independence.
