In a significant development for India's clean energy manufacturing sector, Waaree Energies has announced plans to establish the country's largest integrated lithium-ion battery gigafactory in Rambilli, Anakapalli district. With a monumental investment of ₹8,175 crore, this greenfield facility is poised to enhance India's capacity in battery manufacturing.

The state-of-the-art gigafactory will boast a capacity of 16 GWh and will encompass the entire battery value chain, including cell manufacturing, battery packs, and Battery Energy Storage Systems. The project has already received in-principle approval from the State Investment Promotion Board.

Andhra Pradesh's IT and HRD Minister, Nara Lokesh, welcomed this investment, highlighting it as a pivotal milestone in the state’s clean-energy journey. He emphasized that this gigafactory will not only be the largest battery manufacturing plant in India but also play a vital role in reducing the nation's import dependence on battery technology while strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.

This initiative aligns perfectly with the Government of Andhra Pradesh’s vision of establishing a fully integrated clean-energy ecosystem, which includes power generation, equipment manufacturing, and energy storage. Under the State's Integrated Clean Energy Policy, the region has already attracted considerable investments in renewable power and solar manufacturing.

Minister Lokesh further noted that this gigafactory represents a crucial step towards the backward integration of advanced energy storage solutions. He asserted that large-scale battery manufacturing is essential to support renewable energy expansion, propel electric mobility, and ensure grid stability in the future.
