Mercury EV-Tech Unveils 3.2 GW Battery Plant in Vadodara
“In the pursuit of energy resilience, we are not just building capacity; we are building a platform for long-term energy resilience.”
In a powerful move to shape the future of clean energy and electric mobility, Mercury EV-Tech Limited has launched a 3.2 GW lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant at its Vadodara campus, through its fully owned subsidiary PowerMetz Energy Pvt. Ltd.
The facility, which stands as a symbol of technological foresight and precision, is built to support diverse energy needs—from EV charging infrastructure to grid-scale renewable storage. With the integration of various advanced battery chemistries including LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate), NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt), Sodium-Ion Cells, and Supercapacitor Modules, this plant is poised to fuel the electric future of India.
A fully robotic production line has been sourced from a renowned Chinese manufacturer, with machinery expected to land by the end of April 2025. Pilot production is scheduled to kick off in mid-May 2025.
“This upcoming facility is poised to be one of the most advanced lithium-ion battery lines in the country, equipped with cutting-edge automation and a rare integrated laboratory designed to meet stringent global safety and performance standards. It reflects our unwavering commitment to technological excellence and scalable innovation,” said Darshal Shah of Mercury EV-Tech.
This strategic move aligns with India’s evolving energy policy landscape. Over the past six months alone, more than 30 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have been tendered, supported by new regulatory requirements mandating at least two-hour BESS integration for all government renewable energy projects.
But Mercury EV-Tech’s ambitions don’t stop in Vadodara.
“We have plans to initiate work on an additional 3.2 GW battery plant in South India, with the Vadodara facility’s performance and order pipeline providing the foundation for this expansion,” added Shah, reinforcing the company’s commitment to expanding its national footprint.
Site evaluation is already underway for the second facility, with location finalization expected in upcoming quarters based on operational success and demand trends.
Known as a full-spectrum EV solutions provider, Mercury EV-Tech continues to invest deeply in R&D. Their innovation ecosystem spans an 18-acre research centre near Vadodara and a second Hyderabad-based R&D hub, focused specifically on high-range electric vehicles.
With this strategic expansion and focus on technology, Mercury EV-Tech is not just producing batteries—it’s shaping the core of India’s energy future.
