Godi India manufactures India’s first ever 5.2 Ah 21700 cylindrical lithium-ion cells

Hyderabad, Dec 12 : Godi India, the first Indian company to get BIS certification to sell lithium-ion cells made with home grown technology, has achieved another milestone by manufacturing India’s first ever 5.2 Ah 21700 cylindrical lithium-ion cells with an energy density of 275 Wh/kg based on silicon anode technology.
The electrode composition has been indigenously developed as per the market requirement. With the use of silicon in the anode, an electric vehicle could achieve a greater range, up to 15-20 per cent compared to graphite, on a single charge due to the increased energy density, a company release here said on Monday.
Aiming to solve the never-ending demand of commuters related to electric vehicle range anxiety, GODI India is making inroads in the manufacture of high energy density lithium-ion cells using Silicon, which is one of the most abundant elements on earth’s crust. Commenting on this achievement, Godi India Founder and CEO Mahesh Godi, said, “We are delighted to announce the manufacturing of 5.2 Ah lithium-ion cells at our Hyderabad facility. With the boom in the EV sector constituting two, three and four wheelers in India and across the world, the need of high energy cells has become very essential.We have already delivered 5.0Ah cells to top six OEMs in India and plan to deliver 5.2Ah cells in the near future. We believe that these high energy density cells developed with in-house technology will be an important landmark for ‘Made in India’ for the domestic and international market,”he added. Sharing more details on the future plans, Mahesh said, GODI India is continuously innovating in the anode and cathode areas and planning to achieve >5.6Ah high-energy and high-power cells for the first time.
GODI India has firmly planned for a 100 MWh pilot production facility for 5.0- 5.2Ah cells followed by a GWh plant to cater to the requirements of the highly demanding electric two wheeler’s needs, which is more than 50GWh by 2030 exclusive for electric two wheelers battery segment, he added.
