Japanese firm ATL has launched Asia’s largest lithium-ion battery plant in Haryana, a ₹30 billion project set to power India’s electronics and clean energy ambitions while creating over 5000 jobs.
The first phase of Asia’s largest under-construction lithium-ion battery manufacturing unit was inaugurated in Haryana’s Nuh by Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw. Developed by Japanese firm ATL at the Industrial Model Township, the plant positions Haryana as a critical node in electronics manufacturing and clean energy solutions.
Built with an investment of over ₹30 billion, the facility is designed to produce high-quality products aligned with Japan’s standards. It is expected to generate more than 5000 direct jobs in its first phase. ATL had earlier invested over ₹1,000 crore in Bawal in 2020, creating 1500 jobs, underscoring its long-term commitment to India’s industrial growth.
Highlighting its electronics and clean energy focus, Vaishnaw said, “The plant will produce high-quality products, aligning with Japan’s standards.” He added, “Haryana will now manufacture products that meet global quality benchmarks, benefiting consumers and creating jobs.”
Haryana Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh called the project a historic milestone. “This initiative reflects Haryana’s emergence as a symbol of self-reliance, innovation, and global collaboration,” he said. Singh added, “This project is not just a business venture but a symbol of confidence in Haryana and India’s bright future.”
The project also underscores Haryana’s broader industrial strategy. The state government plans to develop 10 new industrial cities while leveraging policies such as the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy, MSME Policy, and Startup Policy to attract investments. Its foreign collaboration policy has strengthened global linkages, drawing interest from Vietnam, Turkey, and East Africa.
With proximity to Delhi-NCR, strong logistics capabilities, and robust supply chain infrastructure, Nuh’s new lithium-ion battery plant is set to reinforce India’s electronics value chain, supporting semiconductors, EVs, and advanced energy storage technologies.
