The 10 GWh‑per‑year battery plant, sprawling over 23,576 square metres in Aligarh, will churn out packs from 1 kW to 5 MW, designed for both AC and fast DC charging.
Backed by a ₹700 crore investment, the project will be executed in two 5 GWh phases, giving the site a total annual capacity of 10 GWh and expanding Maxvolt's manufacturing footprint to 12.5 GWh when combined with the Duhai plant.
For buyers, the implication is a tighter supply of batteries for four‑wheel EVs, potentially trimming costs by up to 20% and making models like the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra eKUV200 more competitive against imported packs.
The plant dovetails with the government's push to increase domestic battery production and reduce import duties, which could slash the cost of a 70 kWh pack by roughly 10% under current duty structures.
Maxvolt projects the facility to generate ₹6,800 crore in annual revenue and create 1,500–2,000 direct jobs, with the first phase expected to go live by the end of 2025.
As the Aligarh plant ramps up, Indian automakers will have a new domestic partner for battery packs, and consumers can brace for a wave of more affordable EVs. Watch the rollout in phases and the price shifts that follow.
