Luminous Power Technologies, on Friday, said that it has inaugurated its first lithium-ion battery assembly line at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh with a production capacity of 500 MWh and integrates advanced robotic automation with precision-led manufacturing processes to ensure high standards of quality, safety, and performance across lithium-ion battery packs.

Rajiv Ganju, Sr. Vice President, Manufacturing & Global Supply Chain, Luminous Power Technologies, said, “At Luminous, manufacturing is a core pillar of our brand promise to deliver reliable, high-quality energy solutions at scale. The inauguration of this advanced lithium-ion battery assembly line strengthens our integrated manufacturing and global supply chain capabilities, while reinforcing our focus on precision, localisation, and future-ready operations. This facility reflects how we are building resilient, technology-led manufacturing ecosystems to support India’s evolving energy needs.”

The new unit has the capacity to produce three different types of battery systems which include lithium-ion battery packs and stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and automotive battery packs used in e-rickshaw applications. The facility provides single battery pack capacity between 1.2 kWh and 16 kWh which allows system expansion to reach 1 MWh to support multiple applications in residential and commercial and industrial and electric mobility markets. The assembly line operates complete digital traceability for all battery packs while meeting all current Battery Aadhaar standards which enable full lifecycle monitoring and enhanced regulatory compliance together with better transparency and increased trust from consumers.

Ganesh Moorthi, Chief Technology Officer, Luminous Power Technologies, said, “The new lithium-ion battery assembly line marks the beginning of a long-term journey for Luminous as we continue to strengthen our capabilities in next-generation energy technologies. Designed to support standalone battery packs, stationary BESS, and e-rickshaw applications, the facility integrates advanced automation with multiple first-of-its-kind quality evaluation technologies. Combined with end-to-end digital tracking aligned with the latest Battery Aadhaar requirements, this assembly line enables us to deliver lithium-ion solutions that meet high standards of safety, reliability, and performance while remaining scalable for future needs.”

Beyond manufacturing excellence, the Lithium-ion assembly line contributes meaningfully to Luminous’ sustainability objectives. The new Assembly line will play a critical enabling role by supporting renewable energy storage, reducing carbon emissions through EV and grid applications, improving manufacturing efficiency through automation, and supporting circular economy practices through recycling and reuse of battery components.

The new assembly line will serve as a vital foundational element which enables renewable energy storage operations while it delivers carbon reduction benefits through electric vehicle and grid operations and it enhances manufacturing productivity by using automated systems and it provides support for circular economy initiatives through battery component recycling and reuse. The new assembly line will create job opportunities which will help develop the local economy of the area. The lithium-ion battery assembly line operation represents a vital milestone for the company because it establishes the business as a complete consumer energy service provider while it enables India to achieve its clean energy transition goals through advanced energy solutions.
