Agratas, the global battery business of the Tata group, is making strong progress on its world-class battery manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. Construction is advancing rapidly, with the structural steel framework nearing completion.

Spread across 320 acres, the facility represents one of the most significant investments in India’s clean energy sector, with a planned annual capacity of 20 GWh in its first phase.

More than 2,000 construction workers and over 700 staff from vendor organisations are currently engaged on site, accelerating development. The pace of industrialisation marks a key step in supporting India’s clean energy vision and strengthening domestic capability in advanced battery cell manufacturing.

Anand Sodha, Vice President – Supply Chain, Agratas, said, “The progress at Sanand reflects the dedication and pace of our teams as we bring our vision to life. Each phase of construction takes us closer to our goal of building one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the country.”

Agratas is working closely with Tata Projects Limited and Tata Consulting Engineers to deliver the strategically important facility. Their combined expertise is supporting India’s ambition to establish and expand a world-leading clean energy ecosystem.

Rahul Sharma, Strategic Business Unit Head – Urban Built Form, Tata Projects, said, “Our expertise in delivering large-scale manufacturing projects enables us to construct world-class facilities efficiently, while ensuring sustainable practices are embedded throughout the process.”

Alongside construction, Agratas is developing a sophisticated and resilient supply chain, supported by advanced systems to drive efficiency and real-time visibility. The state-of-the-art supply chain will include an integrated sales and operations planning system connecting demand, supply, and inventory management across imports, exports, and domestic movements.

Anand Sodha added, “Our supply chain will provide resilience, visibility, and speed by design. From automation to sustainable transport, every aspect has been engineered to meet global standards while contributing to India’s clean energy mission.”

With construction gathering momentum and supply chain innovations taking shape, Agratas continues to progress towards its long-term vision of supporting India’s energy transition through innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. This progress is driven by a talented and diverse workforce shaping the future of India’s advanced manufacturing sector, while creating new opportunities for people from varied backgrounds to contribute to meaningful and transformative work.
