Nash Energy has officially started operations of a 2 gigawatt-hour (GWh) fully automated prismatic battery pack manufacturing line at its advanced facility in Dobbaspet, Bengaluru. This new production line is the first major step in the company’s plan to build a cumulative 10 GWh battery pack capacity over the next five years, aimed at meeting rising demand for reliable energy storage solutions.
The newly commissioned line produces battery packs ranging from 100 Ah to 314 Ah, catering to multiple sectors including battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicles (EVs), material handling equipment, and electric buses and trucks. Designed with cutting-edge automation and strict quality control, the facility ensures that all ‘Made in India’ products meet global safety and performance standards.
India is rapidly pursuing its renewable energy goals, targeting 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Energy storage technologies like the battery packs being produced by Nash Energy are critical to balancing the grid as solar and wind contributions grow alongside traditional sources. Experts note that dependable storage is essential to integrate renewable power efficiently.
Nash Energy is no stranger to battery manufacturing milestones. It became the first company in India to mass-manufacture lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, and is now expanding its capabilities with a dedicated India Engineering Centre, in addition to its existing R&D facility in Japan. This expansion is expected to further strengthen India’s fast-growing energy storage ecosystem.
According to Chairman Sanjay Wadhwa, the company’s long-term investments are focused on building indigenous capabilities and reducing India’s reliance on imported energy storage technologies. He emphasized that as renewable energy becomes a larger part of the national grid, a robust storage ecosystem is not optional—it is essential.
Industry projections support the growing importance of storage technologies. The India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) expects BESS additions in the country to increase nearly tenfold in the coming years, while market research firm MarkNtel Advisors forecasts the Indian BESS market to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2030, growing at a strong compound annual growth rate.
