Top Lithium batteries manufacturers in India as of 2023

Lithium batteries are those that use lithium as their anode. They are quickly gaining popularity and displacing older technologies like lead-acid batteries. Due to their lightweight, high energy density, and extended lifespan, lithium batteries are becoming increasingly popular in consumer electronics. They are now also utilised in electric vehicles and energy storage.

Anode, cathode, separator, electrolyte, and current collectors make up a lithium battery. The positive electrode releases some of its lithium ions as the battery charges, and these ions move through the electrolyte to the negative electrode. This energy is captured and stored by the battery. As the lithium ions move, they liberate free electrons, which then flow as a charge to the object being powered.

EVs currently make up 24% of the world’s total demand for lithium. By 2030, this percentage is anticipated to reach 79%. Electronics, energy storage, and other technology will make up the majority of the remaining 21%. According to the International Lithium Association (ILiA), the IEA predicts that the growth of EVs will result in a more than 40-fold increase in lithium demand by 2030. Reuters estimates that the demand for lithium, which was around 320,000 tonnes last year, will increase to 1 million by 2025 and to 3 million by 2030. Additionally, the use of lithium batteries in toys, energy storage, government projects, and telecom is growing.

Interestingly, Loom Solar becomes the first lithium battery manufacturer to offer a 6Ah to 100Ah range in the consumer segment through retail channels and online marketplaces as it expands its product line to include lithium batteries. Customers will benefit from being able to use this B2C business for domestic purposes. Through ongoing research and innovation, Loom Solar has worked to integrate its products in order to create customised designs for the changing lithium battery market.

2. Reliance 

A UK start-up company called Faradion which makes sodium-ion batteries has been acquired by Reliance New Energy Solar. In order to hasten the commercialization of batteries for electric vehicles, the multinational Indian corporation is investing in Faradion. The company asserts that sodium-ion technology is both less expensive and safer. If it is successful, Reliance will gain from the storage of renewable energy as well as from vehicles. In India, Reliance is also constructing an integrated manufacturing facility with a giga scale.

Mahindra, another top automaker, is making a serious push into EVs. The business recently submitted bids for India’s $2.4 billion battery programme, along with bids from Hyundai and Reliance. Mahindra also unveiled the Mahindra Treo, an e-rickshaw, and a cargo version of the nation’s first-ever auto rickshaw powered by lithium-ion batteries. The company is also introducing a large selection of vehicles in electric form.

4. Hyundai 

Hyundai, one of the top automakers in India, has made the switch to electric driving with the introduction of the Kona, a high-end electric vehicle. For the development of batteries, the business has partnered with the quantum computing company IonQ. The partnership will concentrate on enhancing the lithium batteries used in electric cars’ capacity, strength, and safety.

5. Ola

The PLI scheme for battery manufacturing received applications from ten Indian companies, including Ola. One of the first few shared cab companies to transition to an electric fleet was Ola. Back in 2017, Softbank announced plans to operate 1 million electric vehicles in India through its company Ola. They also revealed plans to establish a new company, Ola Electric Mobility Pvt Limited, which would lease electric vehicles, including cars, buses, and two-wheelers, to its partner drivers. The largest factory for electric scooters will be built, according to Ola Electric Mobility.

6. Exide
