Mahindra has set up what is claimed to be the world’s most compact battery manufacturing lines. It uses processes that are indigenously developed to produce high-performance batteries using industry 4.0 tech and a patented pallet design for optimal insulation and accuracy, as well as hidden cell terminal welding.

The plant also houses a testing facility to perform multi-layered end-of-line testing simulating real-world conditions.

It's the perfect time we should start investing on battery recycling. With all the cell imports, the raw material will only going to increase and with recycling the same material we can start making our own cells and keep prices in check.
