Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited (ARE&M), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Amara Raja Advanced Cell Technologies Private Limited, has announced the commissioning of its Customer Qualification Plant (CQP) at its Giga Corridor in Telangana. This facility, inaugurated by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri A. Revanth Reddy, represents a significant step towards commercial-scale lithium-ion cell manufacturing in India. The CQP bridges the gap between R&D and commercial production, with an initial capacity of 60 MWh, and is designed to produce both cylindrical and prismatic cell formats across multiple chemistries.
The company has invested approximately ₹500 crore in this facility, which is part of its broader ₹9,500 crore, 16 GWh Gigafactory program. The CQP aims to accelerate the industrialization of new cell technologies, reduce execution risk, and provide customers with validated cells before they are transferred to high-volume production. Cells from this facility are slated for customer validation starting in August 2026. Commercial-scale cell production is targeted to begin within the next year, with a 2 GWh manufacturing facility, Giga 1, on track for CY2027.
The commissioning of the CQP, along with the advanced research and engineering center, ePositive Energy Labs, and the upcoming Giga 1 facility, marks the completion of the first phase of Amara Raja's Giga Corridor investment in Telangana. The Chief Minister highlighted Telangana's commitment to fostering India's advanced manufacturing and energy transition ecosystem, while Amara Raja's Chairman emphasized the role of the CQP in building India's battery manufacturing value chain and self-reliant battery ecosystem.
