Grinntech,
an investor-backed start-up specialising in Lithium-Ion batteries for EVs and
energy storage systems, has unveiled a range of high-tech batteries with unique
designs customised to Indian conditions along with its proprietary, IoT-enabled
BMS to power 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and tractors/light vehicles.
This
announcement marks the transformation of Grinntech from an IIT-Madras incubated
start-up to a funded commercial enterprise, enabling rapid adoption of EV
technologies.
Compared
to many commodity battery kits that are imported, Grinntech’s batteries offer
the combination of design sophistication and quality to ensure superior
performance and durability.
“It
was always our dream to create a technologically advanced Lithium–ion battery
product-line that was built-to-cost for Indian conditions along with its
production system. We are hopeful that we will catch the fast-growing wave for
EV products by Indian customers,” said Nikhilesh Mishra and Puneet Jain, the
young co-founders of Grinntech.
Grinntech
has attracted industry leaders such as Dr. V. Sumantran (former Vice-Chairman
of Ashok Leyland Ltd.) and Lakshmi Narayanan (co-founder and former
Vice-Chairman of Cognizant) as investors and to serve on the company’s Board of
Directors.
Having
evolved energy storage solutions through years of dedicated R&D,
Grinntech’s new facility will manufacture Robin-72 and Shikhra smart and
personalized 2- and 3-wheeler battery solutions using state-of-the-art
automated processes and assembly lines. The facility will also manufacture
Pintail an IOT-enabled 2-wheeler starter battery and the Falcon, a larger
battery suited to tractors and light vehicles. The modular production layout
will allow for easy scaling up as demand grows.
