The only major producer of LFP cells in India, Nash Energy, has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rincell Corporation, a U.S.-based company that develops next-generation rechargeable cell technology. In order to support India’s clean energy and electric mobility ecosystem, the alliance intends to produce sophisticated Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery cells there.
Nash Energy, a leader in the Indian battery sector, runs the nation’s first large-scale LFP cell production plant in Bengaluru and provides services to over 15 local and foreign customers. With a 10 GWh manufacturing facility, which will be built in stages in response to market demand and business commitments, the company intends to expand.
Rincell will give Nash Energy access to its exclusive NMC battery cell technology as part of the MOU. In exchange, Nash would spearhead efforts at market development and commercialisation while establishing a new production plant in India.
In order to satisfy a range of client needs, the partnership will first concentrate on producing Rincell’s high-performance cell forms, such as 18650 (4.1Ah), 21700 (5.8Ah), and advanced NMC variants (5Ah/5C and 4Ah/8C). In order to expand on existing purchase agreements and jointly develop future battery cell designs, both businesses will work closely with Tier-1 and Tier-2 clients. “We’re excited to collaborate with Rincell to introduce cutting-edge battery technology to India,” stated Sanjay S. Wadhwa, Nash Energy’s managing director. “The country’s adoption of clean energy and electric mobility will be accelerated by this initiative.”
“This partnership allows us to combine our cutting-edge technology with Nash Energy’s local expertise, creating new opportunities to serve India’s and the global fast-growing energy market,” said Jignesh Parikh, co-founder and CEO of Rincell Corporation.
