In addition to a wide range of batteries, the facility will also make Grinntech's proprietary battery management systems to address the anticipated growth of EVs in India.

Grinntech, an investor-backed start-up, originated at IIT Madras and specialises in Lithium-Ion batteries for EVs and energy storage systems.

Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries are rechargeable batteries that provide portable electricity, powering electronic gadgets such as cell phones, laptops and tablets. Li-ion batteries are also used to supply energy to electric vehicles (EVs), medical equipment and power tools. In comparison to other high-quality rechargeable battery technologies, Li-ion batteries come with a number of advantages, both in terms of efficiency and environment-friendliness:

They bear the highest energy density among battery technology.
They can deliver large amounts of current for high-power applications.
They are relatively low-maintenance, and do not require scheduled cycles to maintain battery life.
They do not have toxic content such as cadmium, which makes them easily disposable.
