Amara Raja Energy & Mobility has commissioned a Customer Qualification Plant (CQP) at its Giga Corridor in Telangana, marking a significant step in its lithium-ion battery manufacturing roadmap. The facility, inaugurated by Shri A. Revanth Reddy, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Telangana, bridges the gap between laboratory-scale R&D and commercial-scale production. With an investment of ₹500 crore, the CQP forms part of the company's broader ₹9,500 crore, 16 GWh Gigafactory programme.

Strategic Role and Technical Capabilities

The CQP has been commissioned with an initial capacity of 60 MWh and a workforce of over 100 employees. It is designed to be highly reconfigurable, manufacturing lithium-ion cells across both cylindrical and prismatic formats and multiple chemistries. This versatility allows OEM customers to test and validate cells on lines that mirror future commercial production, thereby reducing execution risk and accelerating the industrialisation of new cell technologies.

Cells from the facility are expected to be supplied to customers for validation beginning in August 2026. This intermediate manufacturing step aims to smooth the learning curve ahead of the company's first 2 GWh commercial cell manufacturing facility, Giga 1, which is scheduled to commence production in CY2027.

Key Project Parameters

Leadership and Vision

Jayadev Galla, Co-founder and Chairman of Amara Raja, stated that the CQP is a significant step towards creating capabilities for a trusted, world-class energy ecosystem. The initiative aligns with the state's commitment to fostering India's advanced manufacturing and energy transition ecosystem, reinforcing Telangana's position in the clean energy revolution. The CQP, along with the ePositive Energy Labs and the upcoming Giga 1 facility, brings Amara Raja close to completing the first phase of its Giga Corridor investment.
