Vadodara, India – In a significant boost to India’s clean energy and electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem Mercury EV-Tech Limited has commissioned a state-of-the-art 3.2 GW lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility at its Vadodara campus. The plant set up under its wholly owned subsidiary PowerMetz Energy Pvt. Ltd. marks a major step toward self-reliance in advanced energy storage solutions.
Cutting-Edge Battery Production for EVs and Renewable Energy
The new facility is designed to produce multiple battery chemistries, including:
- LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) – Known for safety and long lifespan
- NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) – High energy density for EVs
- Sodium-Ion Cells – A cost-effective alternative to lithium
- Supercapacitor Modules – For rapid energy discharge applications
These batteries will support a wide range of applications, from EV charging infrastructure to grid-scale storage for renewable energy projects.
Fully Automated, AI-Driven Production Line
Mercury EV-Tech has ordered a fully robotic production line from a leading Chinese equipment provider, with machinery expected to arrive by April 2025. Pilot production is scheduled to begin by mid-May 2025 ensuring rapid scaling to meet growing demand.
Darshal Shah from Mercury EV-Tech Limited stated:
“This facility is set to become one of India’s most advanced lithium-ion battery production lines, featuring cutting-edge automation and an integrated laboratory to meet global safety and performance benchmarks. Our focus is on delivering scalable, high-quality energy storage solutions.”
Aligning with India’s Energy Storage Boom
The launch comes amid India’s aggressive push for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Over 30 GW of BESS projects have been auctioned in the past six months, and new regulations now mandate at least two hours of BESS integration for all government renewable energy projects.
Shah added:
“We’re not just building capacity—we’re creating a foundation for long-term energy resilience. Based on the Vadodara plant’s performance, we plan to establish a second 3.2 GW facility in South India with the location to be finalized in the coming quarters.”
Strengthening India’s EV & Clean Energy Ecosystem
Mercury EV-Tech positions itself as an end-to-end EV solutions provider, with an 18-acre R&D center near Vadodara and another Hyderabad-based facility focused on high-range electric vehicles.
Key Takeaways:
✅ 3.2 GW lithium-ion battery plant operational in Vadodara
✅ Multi-chemistry production (LFP, NMC, Sodium-Ion, Supercapacitors)
✅ Fully automated production with pilot runs starting May 2025
✅ Plans for a second 3.2 GW facility in South India
