Phase 1 of the Sanand facility is commissioning in 2026. The plant is laid out as a single unidirectional flow — cells enter the east bay, packs leave the west, containers are dressed in the dispatch yard.

We're transparent about the BoM. Cells are imported from a Tier-1 LFP supplier and IR-tested in-house before they enter the line. Everything else — BMS, thermal, structural, BoM — is sourced from India where viable, with a 65% Make-in-India ratio targeted by 2027.
