Octillion Power Systems has opened its third manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat, adding production capacity as demand for electric vehicle battery systems grows across passenger, commercial and public transport segments. The facility covers more than 13,000 square metres and was converted from an empty structure into an operational battery manufacturing plant in less than eight months. At full capacity the Gujarat plant will manufacture more than 48,000 battery systems annually, representing over three GWh of energy storage capacity. With the addition of the Halol facility Octillion's combined production capacity in India is projected to exceed 150,000 battery systems and around nine GWh annually. The company supplies battery systems for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses and intends to serve a broad cross section of vehicle manufacturers. Industry data from JMK Research indicated EV sales in India rose 43 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2026 to more than 1.54 mn units, with electric passenger vehicle sales up 83 per cent and electric bus sales up 42 per cent. Electric truck sales recorded cumulative growth of more than 300 per cent as logistics and industrial fleets increasingly adopt electric vehicles, and policymakers' electrification targets for 2030 are expected to further stimulate demand for locally available battery systems. The Halol plant incorporates the company's battery production processes, thermal modelling capabilities and integrated battery management systems and is expected to help shorten delivery timelines and improve supply flexibility for vehicle manufacturers. Company executives said the expansion reflects a long term commitment to local sourcing, quality control and engineering talent to enable scale without exposing customers to global supply chain volatility.
