Replus, part of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, has announced plans to expand its current 1 GWh battery production facility to 6 GWh within the next year. With this expansion, the facility will incorporate next-generation battery technologies to serve the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) markets in India.
Replus stated that its upgraded 6 GWh facility will leverage automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven manufacturing, integrating real-time monitoring, machine vision, robotic systems, automated material handling, and laser welding to enhance efficiency while embracing sustainability to minimize carbon footprint.
To meet the evolving needs of the market, the plant will adopt a cell chemistry- and technology-agnostic approach with the capability to handle high-energy-density cells, blade cells, and future cell chemistries including Na-ion, LMFP, and LTO.
The plant will cater to a variety of electric vehicles (EV passenger vehicles, EV buses, and EV trucks) and grid-scale renewable energy plants with advanced battery packs and liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS) container solutions.
Established in 2019, REPLUS Engitech has total experience of 70 MWh of BESS projects for power and energy segment with confirmed order pipeline of 600 MWh BESS projects and 300 MWh EV battery packs. The company has established a fully automated 1 GWh of cell-to-pack manufacturing facility at Pune to cater the demand of e-mobility and stationary storage applications in India. The company plans to grow exponentially in energy storage over the next few years in India and internationally.
