The first phase has been enhanced to 20 GWh, scheduled for completion in FY26-27 at an investment of Rs 1,025 Crores, followed by a second phase to reach 40 GWh by FY28-29. This capacity doubling in the first phase is driven by the availability of a single-line manufacturing unit, which is expected to optimise land use, reduce structural costs, and improve operating margins. The facility, based in Maharashtra, is slated to commence commercial operations in Q1 FY2027-28.
