At its Mouda unit in Maharashtra, Hindalco has successfully achieved a technological breakthrough in producing high-quality battery foils. The unit is currently undergoing qualification processes with lithium-ion cell manufacturers in India, Europe, and the United States.
The new unit in Odisha will enhance its capacity to supply materials to gigafactories worldwide. It will be located alongside a 25-MW solar power plant and will have access to additional solar energy from a 400-KV national grid connection. The unit will complement the facility at Mouda.
