The electric battery component facility is expected to generate more than $500 million at full capacity by 2031. The facility will generate more than 1,500 direct and indirect employment opportunities and is expected to be commissioned by 2026.
The proposed facility is expected to provide critical battery materials to power more than 1 million electric vehicles. The company is evaluating locations across the US for the proposed facility.

“Our investment in the US is driven by the intent of energizing the world with clean energy solutions. The battery value chain is a critical enabler to electric mobility adoption, and we are channelising our efforts to localise the battery manufacturing ecosystem. This will help automakers leverage the EV subsidies under the US Inflation Reduction Act and pass on the benefits to the end-user. I’m excited that we are bringing in the India-patented anode manufacturing technology to the US and leveraging it to contribute to the vision that the US has for the EV battery ecosystem,” Vikram Handa, Founder and Managing Director of Epsilon Advanced Materials, said.
