Tata Group battery unit Agratas is developing in-house LFP cell technology at its upcoming Sanand plant after Chinese export controls hindered licensing. The facility will make LFP and NMC cells, supporting Tata’s domestic battery ecosystem and grid-scale storage ambitions.

Why this matters

Agratas’s Sanand pilot extends Tata’s recent homegrown LFP battery-cell development, while Tata retail businesses add staff as Trent, Titan and IHCL expand in FY26.
