Fujiyama Power Adds 1 GWh Lithium Battery Capacity in Ratlam – mvapulse.com

⚡ Quick Read
Fujiyama Power Systems has announced a strategic expansion of its manufacturing footprint in India, focusing on the growing demand for energy storage solutions. The company’s board of directors has officially approved the addition of 1 GWh of lithium battery manufacturing capacity at its Ratlam facility in Madhya Pradesh. This development follows a previously announced 2 GWh expansion at the same site, signaling a robust commitment to scaling up domestic production of critical energy storage components.
The latest expansion involves an investment of ₹5 crore. Currently, Fujiyama Power operates a 0.5 GWh lithium battery manufacturing plant in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, which is currently running at approximately 70% capacity utilization. The new 1 GWh capacity at the Ratlam facility is expected to be commissioned and operational by the second quarter of the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The Ratlam complex serves as a centralized hub for the company, integrating solar panels, power electronics, and battery manufacturing under one roof. Recent milestones at the Ratlam site include the commissioning of a 2 GW solar panel manufacturing facility in Q1 FY27 and a 2 GW power electronics manufacturing facility in August 2026. Following these additions, the company’s total solar panel manufacturing capacity has reached 3,568 MW, while its power electronics manufacturing capacity now stands at 4,180 MW.
For EPC contractors and solar developers, the expansion of indigenous lithium battery manufacturing capacity is a significant development. As grid-scale energy storage projects become increasingly common to address intermittency in renewable energy, having a domestic supplier with integrated capabilities in solar and power electronics provides a streamlined procurement option. The ability to source batteries, solar modules, and power electronics from a single complex in Ratlam could potentially reduce logistics costs and simplify supply chain management for large-scale projects.
The company is now focused on the execution phase of the 1 GWh expansion to meet its Q2 FY27 operational deadline. As the Indian renewable energy sector continues to pivot toward hybrid projects and round-the-clock (RTC) power supply, the demand for reliable, domestically manufactured battery storage will likely intensify. Fujiyama Power’s move aligns with the broader national objective of achieving self-reliance in the energy value chain, ensuring that developers have the necessary hardware to support India’s ambitious renewable energy transition goals.
