IN Brief:
- Agratas has completed the steel frame of its Sanand battery manufacturing facility in Gujarat.
- The first phase is designed for 20 GWh of annual output, with production targeted for 2027.
- The plant will manufacture advanced battery cells for electric vehicles and energy storage applications.
Agratas has completed the steel frame of its Sanand battery manufacturing facility in Gujarat, marking a major construction milestone as the plant moves toward planned production in 2027. The site is being developed as part of the Tata group’s wider battery manufacturing build-out and is intended to supply advanced cells for both electric vehicles and energy storage.
The scale of the structure is already substantial. Agratas has said the building extends 700 metres in length, 150 metres in width, and 34 metres at its highest point, covering 105,000 square metres of built-up area. More than 24,000 tonnes of steel have been deployed in the main structure, and peak construction activity has involved more than 2,500 skilled workers.
The first phase of the facility is designed for annual production capacity of 20 GWh. Agratas has also said that most materials used in the build have been sourced within India, giving the project a domestic supply-chain dimension alongside its manufacturing role. Construction is being delivered with Tata Projects and Tata Consulting Engineers, together with multiple contractors.
The project is now moving from major structural delivery into the systems, processes, and operational preparation needed for battery manufacturing at scale. Agratas sets out the latest phase in its Sanand construction update, and the 2027 production target places the plant squarely within India’s next wave of battery industrial capacity.
