Replus Announces Expansion of Battery Manufacturing Facility to 6GWh

Replus, a battery manufacturing company under the LNJ Bhilwara Group, has announced plans to expand its current production facility from 1GWh to 6GWh within the next year. The announcement was made today from the company's headquarters in Pune.

The expansion will incorporate automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven manufacturing processes. The upgraded facility will follow a technology-agnostic approach to cell chemistry, enabling it to work with various battery cell types, including sodium-ion, LMFP, and LTO. Products from the expanded plant will cater to the electric vehicle (EV) market and grid-scale renewable energy installations.

Speaking on the expansion, Riju Jhunjhunwala, Vice Chairman of LNJ Bhilwara Group, stated, "At LNJ Bhilwara Group, we have always been at the forefront of advancing clean energy technologies across our diverse business ventures. The expansion of the Replus plant to 6GWh marks a significant milestone in our commitment to driving India's sustainable growth and energy transition."

Hiren Pravin Shah, Managing Director and CEO of Replus, added that the company aims to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy storage on a global scale through the integration of automation and next-generation battery technologies.

The expansion aligns with the Indian government’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India) initiative, which focuses on strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.

, Replus founded in 2019, is a technology-led manufacturing startup recognized by the Government of India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). Since its inception, the company has specialized in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and has completed projects totaling 70MWh. Replus also reports a confirmed order pipeline of 600MWh for BESS projects and 300MWh for EV battery packs.

The parent company, LNJ Bhilwara Group, was established in 1960 in Rajasthan and has since evolved into a diversified conglomerate. The group operates 17 companies across various sectors, including textiles, power, graphite electrodes, and information technology, with an annual turnover exceeding ₹10,104 crore (approximately $1.21 billion).

The expansion comes amid a growing demand for battery storage solutions in India, driven by the country's ambitious renewable energy targets and increasing EV adoption. Industry analysts emphasize that developing domestic battery manufacturing capacity is crucial for India's energy transition and reducing reliance on imports.

With this expansion, Replus aims to strengthen India's position as a key player in the global energy storage market.
