Naxion Energy, formerly Sodion Energy, has outlined a significant expansion plan that will strengthen its manufacturing capacity and support rising demand for sodium-ion battery solutions across India. The company said it will invest Rs 200 crore by the end of December 2026 to scale its operations and establish a new production facility in Hyderabad. As part of this growth push, the company also aims to increase its workforce by 50 percent.
The Hyderabad headquartered Naxion Energy already operates a manufacturing unit in Coimbatore, where it develops high performance sodium-ion battery packs for mobility and energy storage needs. The upcoming Hyderabad plant is expected to become operational next year. Naxion Energy India CEO Abishek Reddy said the new facility will include an assembly plant and a cell manufacturing unit, making it the company’s second major production site.
Earlier in the day, Naxion Energy introduced its sodium-ion based energy storage systems, which it says are the first of their kind in India. Designed and produced at the Coimbatore plant, the new platform combines a battery, inverter and solar Maximum Power Point Tracking in a single unit. It offers a safer, lighter and more cost effective alternative to traditional lead acid batteries, addressing long standing gaps in India’s backup power segment.
Reddy said the technology is built to support the growing need for clean and reliable energy storage across residential, commercial, industrial and defence sectors. He added that it delivers strong cycle life and consistent performance even in harsh Indian weather conditions.
According to Reddy, Naxion Energy plans to scale the platform across high demand sectors, partner with OEMs and help mobility and equipment manufacturers shift toward cleaner power sources. The sodium-ion storage system is designed to replace diesel generators and overcome the limitations of lead acid systems. It offers up to two to three times longer life while lowering operational expenses and system downtime.
The newly launched units will be available in 3.5 kW, 5 kW and 10 kW variants, each with built in batteries. Customers will also have the option to expand each unit to twice its original capacity.
