With India picking up pace towards electric mobility, Kinetic Group Vice Chairman Ajinkya Firodia has stressed the importance of an independent EV ecosystem. Referring to the importance of battery technology as part of the shift, Firodia posted on linkedin that Range-X is not only producing batteries but designing reliability, safety, and performance to fuel India’s EV revolution.
Range-X’s news of its new battery production facility attracted major industry attention to the belief that India’s EV growth will depend on domestic supply chains. “Batteries are not batteries; they are the determinant of the efficiency and safety of this transition,” stated Firodia.
With an annual production capability of 60,000 units of high-performance LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery packs, the company is a pioneer in innovation with prismatic cells, battery management system (BMS) integration, and green design. Such state-of-the-art technologies allow increased durability, thermal stability, and performance under real-world conditions, thus making EV adoption cost-effective and reliable.
Building India’s Self-Reliant EV Ecosystem
Firodia highlighted that it is not merely an investment in a plant but a strategic step to cut import dependence and shore up India’s EV supply chain. With a focus on frontier tech, local production, and sustainability, Range-X is at the forefront of India’s EV sector.
“Its goal is to create battery technology suitable for India’s climate and road conditions, which are quite different from those in the West, providing more performance and range. This is a first step towards making India the world’s biggest player in EV battery manufacturing,” Firodia said.
As the nation transitions to an electric future, industry leaders note that it will be built on precision, engineering excellence, and foresight in the long term. “The future is electric, but we are going to build it on a foundation of precision and innovation. Range-X is ready for whatever comes next,” he summed up.
