Agratas To Leverage Tata Tech’s Expertise To Fast-Track EV Battery Development

Agratas, Tata Group’s global battery business, and Tata Technologies, an engineering and digital services company have come together to scale Agratas’ product development and enterprise systems, supporting the design, development and manufacturing of best-in-class battery solutions.

As part of the understanding, Agratas will leverage Tata Technologies’ expertise in product development, digital engineering, digital manufacturing and product supply chain to accelerate product development timelines, including integrating battery cells into modules and packs across multiple applications to match customer requirements.

The strategy is part of Tata Group’s comprehensive OneTata approach, with Tata Technologies also developing the digital business architectures to support the production of best-in-class battery solutions at Agratas’ gigafactories in India and the UK.

The new alliance embodies the cross-Tata Group mission to develop a holistic e-mobility ecosystem that will advance the production and adoption of electric vehicles in India and worldwide. With battery cell production due to commence in 2026, the collaboration is helping to propel Agratas’ anchor customers, Tata Motors and JLR, towards a fully electrified future.

Tom Flack, CEO, Agratas said, “We are fully committed towards delivering best-in-class battery solutions to our customers and helping to supercharge the global transition to electric mobility and clean energy storage. Teaming up with Tata Technologies strengthens our pursuit of this mission, helping us to leverage its expertise in electric vehicle engineering, including competitive design, packaging and integration of battery packs that are critical for the performance of our customers’ products, from next generation Electric Vehicles to energy-dense storage solutions. Our collaboration with Tata Technologies also maximises inter-Group synergies and business excellence, showcasing the strategic benefits of being part of the Tata Group.”

Warren Harris, CEO & MD, Tata Technologies said, “Tata Technologies’ vision of engineering a better world embodies a commitment to innovating sustainable solutions across the e-mobility value chain that helps manufacturing companies accelerate their transition towards net zero. The trust awarded by Agratas reaffirms our long-standing expertise in electric vehicle engineering and digital transformation solutions for sustainable products. We believe this collaboration will help us strengthen our capabilities around the design and integration of battery pack solutions into battery electric vehicles and also help Agratas accelerate the industrialisation of its gigafactories in the UK and India, enabling it to deliver competitive battery solutions to its customers.”

As Agratas scales up its operations, Tata Technologies is also helping it to mobilise resources by facilitating recruitment of highly skilled individuals, enabling onboarding and supporting employee lifecycle activities during this critical growth phase. These resources span roles across the battery solution value chain, including corporate, operational and research functions, reaffirming the depth and breadth of the collaborative engagement.
